Make a rich, velvety vegan pumpkin pie using a simple, creamy filling that rivals traditional recipes. This recipe is perfect for holidays and uses standard pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 recipe for your favorite vegan pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 (12.5 ounce) package silken tofu, drained
  • 1/2 cup full-fat canned coconut milk (use only the thick cream layer)
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Prepare and press your vegan pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate. Chill the crust while you prepare the filling. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the drained silken tofu, coconut cream, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Process until completely smooth.
  3. Add the pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and cornstarch to the mixture. Blend again until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is silky. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  4. Pour the filling into the chilled pie crust.
  5. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. The edges should look set, and the center should have only a slight jiggle when gently shaken.
  6. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for at least 3 hours before slicing. Chilling in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight yields the best texture.

Notes

  • For a coconut-free option, substitute the coconut cream with 1/2 cup of soaked and blended raw cashews (ensure they are soaked in hot water for 30 minutes and drained well).
  • If you prefer a slightly firmer pie, add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch instead of the listed amount.
  • Serve chilled with vegan whipped cream or a dusting of cinnamon.
