Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¾ cups pumpkin purée 14 oz can
  • ¾ cup full-fat coconut milk
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • ¾ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 9" frozen vegan pie crust (gluten-free if preferred)
  • Vegan Coconut Whipped Cream (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Ensure your 9" pie shell is ready but unbaked; no prebaking required.
  2. In a blender or large bowl, combine pumpkin, coconut milk, brown sugar, cornstarch, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the pie crust. Use a spatula to evenly spread and smooth the top.
  4. Bake for 60 minutes. When taken out, the edges will be slightly cracked, and the center will look wobbly. Allow it to cool, then refrigerate uncovered for at least 4 hours or overnight until completely set.
  5. Serve plain or with coconut whipped cream.
