Vegan Pumpkin Pie

Step 1

I recommend using a kitchen scale for this recipe. Check the step-by-step process shots above in the blog post. There is also a video for easy visual instructions.

Step 2

To make the flax egg, simply put 2 tbsp ground flax seeds (or ground chia seeds) to a small bowl, add 1/4 cup of water and mix with a whisk. Set aside for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Put all dry crust ingredients into a medium-sized bowl, then add the wet ingredients, stir with a spatula or fork. Then use your hands to knead the dough until it holds together or use a food processor! If the dough appears too dry, add a tiny bit of cold water.

Step 4

Press the dough into the bottom of a greased 8-inch (or 9-inch) pie pan and about 2 inches (5 cm) up the sides. Put the pan into the fridge (while you make the filling) and preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

Step 5

Process all filling ingredients in a food processor or blender until completely smooth.

Step 6

Pour the pumpkin filling into the uncooked pie crust and spread it with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the oven for 50 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the pie in the oven but open the door of the oven. Wait for a further 5 minutes, then take it out of the oven and let cool at room temperature. The middle of the pie will still be a bit wobbly and that's normal.

Step 8

After the pie has cooled on the counter for a while, place it into the fridge to firm up. This takes at least 2 hours but preferably leave it there overnight.

Step 9

Decorate the pumpkin pie with whipped coconut cream. Enjoy! Store pie leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 6 days.
