    Who doesn't love pumpkin pie?! It's certainly one of my favorite Fall desserts. And the great news is that it's easier than you may think to make a homemade vegan pumpkin pie from scratch.

    Even if you're not an expert baker, you can whip up an impressive dessert and serve it for special occasions like Thanksgiving and Christmas. I can guarantee that everyone will be impressed!

    (And if you are planning a meatless holiday feast, be sure to check out my complete Vegan Thanksgiving cookbook!)

    My dairy-free pumpkin pie recipe features just simple ingredients and a very approachable method.

    I love making a homemade crust which is buttery and flaky. The pumpkin pie filling is smooth and custardy, and will make your whole kitchen smell amazing.

    So if you're looking for a go-to vegan pumpkin pie recipe, look no further!

    Ingredients

    Ingredients for vegan pumpkin pie

    Pie crust. I used my homemade vegan pie crust recipe, but you can also use a store-bought one if you want to save time.

    Pumpkin Purée. You can use either canned pumpkin purée (make sure it's plain and unsweetened), or make your own from scratch using my tutorial on how to make pumpkin purée.

    Cornstarch. This will be used for thickening the pie filling, resulting in a custardy, smooth consistency.

    Cinnamon. You can also use a store bought pumpkin spice blend.

    Brown sugar. You can also use coconut sugar, if you prefer.

    Maple syrup. You can also substitute another liquid sweetener of your choice, such as agave nectar.

    Plant based milk. Use any unsweetened variety of your choice, such as almond milk or soy milk.

    A pinch of salt.

    Soy Cream or any other vegan cream alternative of your choice. You can also use coconut cream or you can use full fat coconut milk from a can - just make sure to use just the white solid part.

    Vanilla extract.

    How to Make Vegan Pumpkin Pie

    Start by preheating the oven to 180 degrees C/350 F.

    To a large mixing bowl, add the pumpkin purée, cornstarch, cinnamon, brown sugar, maple syrup, plant based milk, soy cream and vanilla extract. Use a handheld mixer to whisk until the mixture is smooth. You can also do this in a food processor or blender.

    Pour the filling into a 9-inch tin lined with the vegan pie crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes.

    Transfer to the fridge and allow to cool for at least an hour before slicing and serving with vegan whipped cream.

    How to Make Pumpkin Pie Ahead of Time

    This is a perfect dessert for making ahead of time. You can prepare the pie crust the day before you want to serve the vegan pumpkin pie, then simply make the filling and bake as usual.

    Storing & Freezing the Pie

    The vegan pumpkin pie keeps well in the fridge, covered, for up to a week.

    You can also freeze it as individual slices for up to 2 months in a freezer-friendly container. When ready to serve, allow to thaw fully in the fridge.
