Easy Vegan Pumpkin Pie
Description
The Easy Vegan Pumpkin Pie brings together pumpkin puree and plant-based milk to form the base of the filling, sweetened with cane sugar and balanced by molasses and vanilla extract. All-purpose flour helps provide structure while pumpkin pie spice and salt round out the flavor profile. The filling is poured into a frozen vegan pie crust for a plant-based dessert option.
Baking starts at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes to help set the custard, then the temperature is reduced to 350 degrees for 50 more minutes of baking. This temperature variation encourages proper cooking without overbaking the crust. The pie is removed from heat and cooled at least 30 minutes to achieve its full set consistency, as plant-based fillings don't firm completely until cooled.
This recipe allows for easy adjustment of sweetness or flavor enhancement by simmering the pumpkin-spice mixture before baking to condense flavors if desired. It provides a dairy-free and egg-free alternative to traditional pumpkin pies with a familiar spiced taste and creamy texture.
Ingredients
- 2 cups pumpkin puree canned
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- ½ cup cane sugar
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tablespoon molasses
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 vegan pie crust frozen
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, add pumpkin, plant-based milk, sugar, flour, molasses, vanilla, salt, and pumpkin spice. Mix thoroughly.
- Add to frozen crust and bake for 10 minutes, then lower heat to 350 degrees and cook for another 50 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let it cool for at least half an hour before serving.
Notes
- Simmer the pumpkin puree with sugar and spices before baking to deepen flavor.
- Adjust sugar amounts to suit your preferred sweetness.
- Allow the pie to cool completely; the filling firms up as it cools without eggs.
