Process the almonds, dates, and pine nuts through a Champion Juicer fitted with the solid plate. Transfer to a large bowl, and stir in the pumpkin pulp. Add the cinnamon, vanilla extract, ginger, and cloves, and mix well. Spoon into the prepared crust. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours before serving.
Cream Topping
