Ingredients

Classic Vegan Pumpkin Pie

  • 1 vegan graham cracker crust or vegan pastry pie crust - no need to prebake
  • 5 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 15 oz can pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup sugar can also use brown sugar or 1/2 and 1/2 of each, you can reduce down to 3/4 cup if desired.
  • optional 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Make a smooth cornstarch slurry: In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of the coconut milk until completely smooth. This prevents lumps in the filling.
  • Combine the filling: Add the slurry to the remaining coconut milk, pumpkin purée, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, sugar, and optional salt. Mix until fully combined and silky.
  • Fill the crust: Pour the pumpkin mixture into your vegan graham cracker crust or pastry crust. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
  • Bake: Bake for 60 minutes. The center may have a slight jiggle — that’s normal. If it’s very jiggly, bake an additional 5–10 minutes. Cracks on top are totally fine.
  • Cool + chill: Let the pie cool completely at room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) until fully set. This ensures a clean slice and perfect custard‑like texture.
