Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, maple syrup, cornstarch, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until well combined and smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture into the vegan pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula, ensuring even distribution.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before serving to allow the filling to firm up.
- Serve slices of the vegan pumpkin pie with a generous dollop of coconut whipped cream on top for a delightful finish.
Tips
- For a spicier pie, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or increase the pumpkin pie spice.
- If you prefer a firmer filling, increase the cornstarch to 1/3 cup.
- You can also experiment with different sweeteners, such as agave syrup or brown sugar, to suit your taste.
