Chocolate Pumpkin Pie
Description
This Chocolate Pumpkin Pie uses melted vegan chocolate chips blended with pumpkin puree, silken tofu, brown sugar, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. The silken tofu acts as a creamy binder providing smoothness without eggs or dairy. The mixture is poured into a prepared vegan pie crust, then baked at 350°F for 30 minutes to set the filling.
After baking, the pie must chill in the refrigerator for at least six hours or overnight to firm up fully. The flavors combine a subtle chocolate richness balanced by pumpkin and warm spices, producing a smooth, custard-like texture that slices cleanly.
Optional garnishes such as whipped cream, cinnamon, or extra vegan chocolate chips can be added for presentation and extra flavor enhancement.
Ingredients
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips vegan
- 15 ounces pumpkin puree
- 1 ½ cups silken tofu
- 1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 vegan pie crust prepared
- Whipped Cream optional, for garnish
- cinnamon optional, for garnish
- vegan chocolate chips optional, extra, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a small, microwave-safe bowl, microwave the vegan chocolate chips for 30 seconds. Mix with a fork until smooth. (If the vegan chocolate is still lumpy, microwave for 20-second intervals, mixing in between, until the vegan chocolate is completely smooth.)
- Combine melted vegan chocolate, pumpkin puree, silken tofu, brown sugar, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and ground cinnamon in a blender and blend on high until completely smooth.
- Pour pie mixture into the prepared crust and bake for 30 minutes.
- Let pie set in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 6 hours.
Notes
- Allow the pie to chill overnight or at least 6 hours to firm up properly before serving.
- Use silken (soft) tofu specifically to achieve the proper texture in the pie filling.
- When using homemade pumpkin puree, drain excess liquid to prevent a runny filling; canned pumpkin puree is easier for consistent results.
