Vegan Pumpkin Pie
Ingredients
Pie Filling
- 1.5 cans Farmer's Market Organic Pumpkin
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
- 3 tbsp organic corn starch
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- dairy free whipped cream for serving
Gluten-Free Crust
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup arrowroot starch
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 3 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
For the Crust
-
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
-
Add almond flour, arrowroot, and salt to a medium sized bowl and whisk to combine.
-
With a rubber spatula or spoon, stir in the coconut oil and syrup until the mixture is crumbly but sticks together when pressed. Add a little water if the mixture is still too dry, but 1 tbsp should be enough.
-
Form a ball with the dough. Press into a tart or pie dish, and prick the bottom and sides of the pie crust with a fork to prevent bubbling. Place the crust in the freezer for 5 minutes.
-
Pre-bake for about 10 minutes to prevent it from getting soggy.
For the Pie
-
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
-
In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, coconut milk, syrup, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, corn starch, salt, and vanilla until very smooth.
-
Pour into the pre-baked pie crust and carefully transfer to the oven.
-
Bake for 35 - 45 minutes, until the pumpkin pie filling has set. Be sure to check halfway through baking and cover the crust edges with foil or a crust shield if they are getting dark.
-
Remove from the oven and let the pie cool completely. Transfer to the refrigerator to set up overnight. Serve chilled with dairy free whipped cream.
