Ingredients
Scale
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
1 (13.5-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, chilled overnight
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust (ensure it is vegan)
Instructions
Chill the can of full-fat coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight without shaking it. This separates the cream from the water.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place your unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish.
Open the chilled coconut milk can carefully. Scoop out only the thick, solid coconut cream from the top into a large bowl. Discard or save the watery liquid underneath.
Add the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, salt, and cornstarch to the bowl with the coconut cream.
Whisk the mixture until it is completely smooth and creamy. Avoid over-mixing.
Pour the vegan pumpkin filling into the unbaked pie crust.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has only a slight jiggle when gently shaken.
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 3 hours before slicing. The filling will firm up as it cools.
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for an additional hour before serving for the best texture.
Notes
For a gluten-free option, use your favorite gluten-free vegan pie crust.
If you do not want to use coconut milk, you can substitute it with 1 cup of plain, unsweetened cashew cream.
You can prepare this pie one day ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator.
