⦁ Ingredients
The ingredients that go into this recipe are very easily available in any household. All you need is a three-forth cup of almond milk, which is a vegan substitute for cow’s milk, half a teaspoon of salt, one teaspoon vanilla extract, three teaspoons of cornstarch for thickening the filling, one and a half teaspoon of the pumpkin pie spice, one-third cup of brown sugar, one-fourth cup of maple syrup and the most important and the key ingredient of the recipe, two and a half cups of pumpkin puree.
You can take the canned puree or make it fresh from the pumpkin, but the only difference that will be there will be in color. The canned puree is darker and more orange in color, while the fresh puree will be lighter in color. Although, there will not be any significant change in the taste of the whole filling by the end.
⦁ Steps of making the vegan pumpkin pie
⦁ The first step would be very obvious, to pre-heat the oven at about 350 degrees F. In case you do not have an oven, then do not worry, for you can bake it in a pressure cooker as well. All you have to do is remove the whistle of the cooker and pre-heat it a little bit, and the rest of the procedure will remain the same.⦁ Till when your oven or pressure cooker is getting pre-heated, you have to make the filling for the pie. For this, once you have taken all the above-mentioned ingredients, you can either whisk it or blend it. The only difference in whisking and blending would be that the blended one will be a lot smoother than the whisked one. Also, the blending process saves you time, but if you want to do it all by yourself, then you can use a whisker and take your time to make the batter all smooth.⦁ Once you have obtained a smooth paste, you can pour our filling into the crust. Baking the crust a little bit before this step is your choice, but for now, we are no baking the crust before filling it with the filling. After pouring the whole filling, you should spread it to make it even using a spoon, knife, or spatula.⦁ After completing the previous step, your pie is ready to be baked. You have to put it inside the oven or the pressure cooker for about fifty-five to sixty minutes until the pie filling is firm and the crust becomes light brown. If the crust starts to turn dark brown, what you can do is cover the visible edges or the crust with a foil, or you can also use a pie protector for this purpose. ⦁ Once the pie is baked properly, take it out carefully. Make sure to wear gloves so you do not get yourself burned while taking it out and let it cool to room temperature. If you do not have much time, then you can let it sit on the kitchen counter for a while and then keep it in the refrigerator for cooling it faster. As it gets properly cooled, it is ready to be served.⦁ You can serve the pie as it is, or you can top it with some whipped coconut cream, which tastes delicious and complements the flavors of the pumpkin pie very well.
After you are done with all the steps properly, there is nothing more to do. All you should be caring about is enjoying the pumpkin pie with your friends and family and let them praise you for the delicious pie that you have just served them. The reason we did not pre-bake the crust in this recipe is that the time it takes for the pie to bake is enough for the crust to get hard and crunchy enough and be the best crust ever!
