Make this simple, dairy-free vegan pumpkin pie with a rich, creamy coconut milk filling spiced perfectly for the holidays. It requires minimal prep time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 (13.5-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, chilled overnight
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder
  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust (vegan/store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your 9-inch pie crust and place it in a pie plate. If using a homemade crust, chill it while you prepare the filling.
  2. Open the chilled can of coconut milk without shaking it. Scoop out only the thick cream layer from the top and place it in a large bowl. Discard or save the remaining watery liquid for another use.
  3. Add the pumpkin puree, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and cornstarch to the bowl with the coconut cream.
  4. Whisk all ingredients together until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform. This should take about 2 minutes.
  5. Pour the pumpkin filling into the unbaked pie crust.
  6. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has only a slight jiggle.
  7. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for at least 3 hours before slicing. Chilling the pie for an additional hour helps the filling set fully.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, use a certified gluten-free pie crust.
  • You can substitute the coconut milk with silken tofu for a similar creamy texture; use one 12-ounce package of silken tofu instead of the coconut cream.
  • To make this a quick vegan dessert, use a pre-made vegan crust.
