Recipe of The Month: Vegan Pumpkin Pie
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg • 1/8 teaspoon cloves • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 3 tablespoons cornstarch • 1 vegan pie crust • Vegan whipped cream optional, for serving
Ingredients: • 15 ounce can pumpkin puree • 1 cup coconut cream • 1/2 cup brown sugar • 1/2 cup granulated sugar • 1 teaspoon cinnamon • 1 teaspoon ginger
Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a pie crust in a pie plate. Add the canned pumpkin, coconut cream, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, salt and cornstarch to a blender and blend until very smooth. You may also simply whisk it together in a bowl until smooth. Pour the mixture into a 9-inch pan lined with a pie crust. Spread the mixture evenly with a spatula. Bake for 1 hour. If the crust starts to burn, cover the edges of the crust with aluminum foil or a pie shield after about 30 minutes of baking. The middle will still look jiggly; that’s normal. Let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then cover and transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight. Slice and serve with homemade Vegan Whipped Cream or store-bought non-dairy whipped topping, if desired. Enjoy! Optional Pie Crust Leaves: A fun idea for decorating your pie! Make or buy an extra pie crust, and roll out the dough about 1/8th inch thick. Using leaf cookie cutters, cut into shapes. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F. Once the pie has chilled, place on the pie for decoration.
