VEGAN PUMPKIN PIE
We use a few vegan-friendly stand-ins for this can't-believe-it's-vegan pie. Unrefined coconut oil provides a flaky, buttery texture for the crust, and silken tofu lends creaminess to the filling.

Steps:
- For the crust: Put the flour, sugar, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor, and pulse to combine. Add the coconut oil in small spoonfuls, and pulse until the largest pieces are pea-sized. Add 4 tablespoons ice water, and pulse until evenly combined. Squeeze a handful of the dough together; it should just hold its shape. If the mixture is too powdery, pulse in an additional 1 to 2 tablespoons ice water. Turn the dough out onto a large piece of plastic wrap, pat into a 1/2-inch-thick disc and chill for at least 1 hour up to overnight.
- To make rolling easier, let the dough soften up a bit-it should be slightly soft when pressed-at room temperature (this may take anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes depending on the temperature of your kitchen). Roll the disc into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface or between two pieces of floured parchment paper. If the dough gets too warm, refrigerate it to firm it up. Ease the crust into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold the overhanging dough under itself, and crimp the edge as desired. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line the chilled pie crust with a large coffee filter or foil, and fill with pie weights. Bake until the edges are lightly golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the coffee filter or foil and weights, and continue baking until the crust is lightly golden all over, 15 to 20 minutes more. Transfer to a rack, and let cool completely.
- For the filling: Process the pumpkin puree, tofu, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor until completely smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Pour the filling into the parbaked pie shell, and bake until firm and set, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely on a rack. Chill for at least 2 hours up to overnight. Slice and serve.
VEGAN PUMPKIN PIE
The secret to this rich, creamy pumpkin pie is aquafaba, or the liquid leftover from cooked chickpeas, which is used in recipes to mimic the thickening, binding and foaming properties of egg whites. (For ease, we recommend using the liquid from canned chickpeas in this recipe.) This pie could not be simpler: Just toss everything into a blender for three minutes until it increases in volume, pour it into a prepared, unbaked pie crust, then bake until the top is crackly and ever-so-slightly jiggly in the center. Because this pie doesn't contain any eggs or dairy, once the pie is chilled and set, you can let it sit out at room temperature overnight. For longer-term storage, keep it in the refrigerator for up to a week. Serve with a dollop of vegan whipped cream.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Add the pumpkin, maple syrup, aquafaba, coconut oil, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and salt to a blender. Blend on medium speed for about 3 minutes, until light and fluffy. It should increase by 20 percent to 25 percent in volume.
- Pour into prepared pie crust. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, until the top is crackly, the filling is a little jiggly in the center and pulling away from the sides slightly.
- Let cool for about 30 minutes at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Serve at room temperature.
VEGAN PUMPKIN PIE
After living in the US for several years, I've come to understand that Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie is, well, downright un-American. But this silky pie is so good, you'll probably want to eat it more often than once a year. Make sure to use a deep-dish pie pan so there will be enough room for all the gorgeous pumpkin filling. Basic Vegan Pie Crust, made in deep-dish pie pan: Though premade vegan pie crusts are readily available, nothing beats a homemade one. This versatile pie crust is tender and flavorful, and the dough is very forgiving-even if you're not an expert with dough, this recipe comes out well every time!

Steps:
- Place the butter and flour in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
- Place the chilled flour, the salt, and the cane juice sugar in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. Scatter the butter cubes over the flour and pulse until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. With the motor running, add 1/3 cup of the water through the feed tube and mix until the dough just starts to form a ball on the blade. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the dough seems too dry. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and shape it into a disk. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze the dough for at least 1 hour before rolling it out.
- Place the unwrapped dough disk on a lightly dusted work surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out into a circle that is 1/8 inch thick, lifting and rotating the dough as necessary. Roll the dough up on the rolling pin and unroll it over a 9-inch pie pan. Gently press the dough onto the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Trim the edges of the dough with scissors, leaving about 3/4 inch of overhang. Tuck the overhanging dough underneath itself, pressing it onto the rim of the pan. Flute the edges by pinching the dough from the outside in a V shape with your thumb and index finger while poking the center of the shape with the index finger of your other hand from the inside. Lightly prick the bottom of the dough with a fork at 1/2 inch intervals. Refrigerate the dough in the pan for 20 minutes to firm it up.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Right before baking, line the dough with parchment paper and cover with pie weights or dried beans. Place the pie pan on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Carefully lift the parchment paper (along with the weights) out of the pie pan and bake the crust for 10 to 15 minutes longer, until golden brown. Transfer the pie pan to a wire rack and cool completely.
- Pumpkin Filling:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Place the tofu and pumpkin puree in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth, about 45 seconds. Add the chucks of cream cheese and the remaining ingredients and process until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Pour the mixture into the prepared crust and bake the pie for 50 to 55 minutes, until just set in the center (it will still be slightly jiggly but should not be liquid). Turn the oven off and leave the pie in the oven for another 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Tips:
- For the perfect vegan pumpkin pie crust, use a combination of almond flour, oat flour, and coconut oil. This will create a flaky and flavorful crust that is also gluten-free.
- To make sure the pumpkin pie filling is smooth and creamy, blend it until it is completely pureed. You can use a blender or a food processor for this.
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk in the filling. You can also add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to taste.
- To prevent the pie from cracking, let it cool completely before serving. You can also cover the pie with a damp paper towel while it is baking to help prevent cracks.
- Serve the pie with a dollop of vegan whipped cream or a scoop of vegan ice cream for a delicious and festive dessert.
Conclusion:
This vegan pumpkin pie is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It is delicious, creamy, and packed with fall flavors. The gluten-free crust is flaky and flavorful, and the pumpkin filling is smooth and rich. This pie is sure to be a hit with everyone, regardless of their dietary restrictions.
