To make the filling, place the pumpkin, cashews, maple syrup, lemon juice, and spices into a high powered blender. I use my Vita-Mix. Blend until smooth and creamy. Then add the cooked millet and blend again, scraping sides down as needed. Blend until very smooth. Pour filling into cooled crust. Spread the top if needed.
