To make this vegan pumpkin pie, you need the following ingredients: - 1 ½ cups pumpkin puree (fresh or canned) - 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat) - ¾ cup maple syrup - ¼ cup brown sugar - 1 tablespoon cornstarch - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon cinnamon - ½ teaspoon nutmeg - ½ teaspoon ground ginger - ¼ teaspoon allspice - ¼ teaspoon salt - 1 pre-made vegan pie crust (store-bought or homemade) Each ingredient in this pie brings something special. Pumpkin puree gives a creamy texture and natural sweetness. It is rich in vitamins A and C. Coconut milk adds a rich, creamy taste. It is dairy-free and great for the gut. Maple syrup and brown sugar are natural sweeteners. They add depth and flavor without refined sugars. Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger add warmth and aroma. They also have health benefits, such as anti-inflammatory properties. Cornstarch helps the pie set well. The vegan pie crust holds it all together and is easy to work with. Need substitutions? No problem! If you can’t find pumpkin puree, you can use butternut squash puree instead. Almond milk can replace coconut milk if you want a lighter option. For sweeteners, agave syrup works well in place of maple syrup. If you don't have cornstarch, try arrowroot powder or tapioca starch. For spices, you can mix different ones, like cardamom or cloves, to change the flavor. Finally, if you want a nut-free option, look for a gluten-free pie crust made from oats or rice flour. First, gather your ingredients. You will need pumpkin puree, coconut milk, maple syrup, and brown sugar. Mix these in a bowl. Use a whisk to combine them until smooth. Next, add cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and salt. This mix gives the pie its warm flavor. Stir until everything blends well. Now, pour the pumpkin filling into your vegan pie crust. Make sure you spread it evenly. Use a spatula to smooth the top. This step makes your pie look nice and neat. Place your pie in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake it for about 50-60 minutes. Check if the filling is set. The edges of the crust should be golden brown. Once it’s done, take it out and let it cool. Cooling on a wire rack helps it set. Leave it for at least one hour. For the best taste, chill the pie in the fridge for a few hours or overnight. This enhances the flavors. Enjoy your cooking! For the full recipe, check the ingredients and instructions above. To get a smooth and creamy filling, use full-fat coconut milk. This adds richness and creaminess to your pie. Mix the pumpkin puree and coconut milk well. Whisk until there are no lumps. Cornstarch helps to thicken the filling. Make sure to mix it in well. This will keep your pie from being too runny. For the best pie crust, use a pre-made vegan crust. It saves time and effort. If you want to make your own, choose a recipe that uses coconut oil or vegan butter. Make sure your crust is cold before baking. This helps it stay flaky. Blind bake the crust for ten minutes before adding the filling. This step prevents a soggy bottom. Serve your pie chilled for the best flavor. A dollop of coconut whipped cream adds a nice touch. Sprinkle cinnamon on top for extra spice. You can also add pecans or pumpkin seeds for crunch. This makes the pie look festive and inviting. Enjoy with a warm cup of tea or coffee.

It adds a nice depth to the pie. If you want a caramel flavor, add a bit of caramel sauce into the filling. This makes the pie richer and sweeter. You can choose various crusts for this pie.
