Blend the Wet Base: Combine the pumpkin puree, dairy-free coconut cream, cashew butter,protein powder if using. maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice in a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
Add Chia Seeds: Add the chia seeds into the blender and pulse a few times. You want the seeds incorporated, just enough to jumpstart the thickening and create a smooth base. (Alternatively, pour the blended mixture into a bowl and stir the chia seeds in by hand).
Chill: Pour into your jar or glass and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set. Because it's blended, it will set into an amazingly smooth, pudding-like texture with zero seed texture.
Layer & Serve: Layer with your favorite grain-free granola or pecans.
