Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked vegan pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pure pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened soy milk or almond milk
  • 1/4 cup cashew cream (or silken tofu, drained)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Place your unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, soy milk, cashew cream (or tofu), cornstarch, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, ginger, and salt until the mixture is completely smooth.
  3. Pour the filling mixture evenly into the unbaked pie crust.
  4. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the center is mostly set but still has a slight jiggle when gently shaken.
  5. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours. The pie will firm up as it cools.
  6. Chill the vegan pumpkin pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For the cashew cream, soak 1/2 cup raw cashews in hot water for 30 minutes, then blend with 1/4 cup fresh water until completely smooth.
  • If you use a store-bought crust, check the label to confirm it is dairy-free.
  • Serve this dreamy pumpkin pie with a dollop of vegan whipped topping for the best experience.
