Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust
- 1 plant-based pie crust (9-inch), prepared
Pumpkin Filling
- 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
- 1 cup plant-based cream
- 3/4 cup brown sugar (natural)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (freshly ground)
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (freshly ground)
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare Your Crust: Gently roll out your plant-based pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to help it hold its shape during baking.
- Mix the Pumpkin Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, plant-based cream, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and the natural gelling agent until smooth and evenly combined.
- Pour Filling into Crust: Carefully pour the well-mixed filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly and smoothing the top for an inviting, polished look.
- Bake Until Set: Place the pie on the center rack of a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 50-60 minutes. Check consistency by gently shaking the pie; it should be mostly set but have a slight jiggle in the middle.
- Cool Completely: Let the pumpkin pie cool at room temperature for at least two hours to allow the filling to fully firm up and develop its rich flavor. For best results, refrigerate afterward.
Notes
- Use freshly ground spices to maximize flavor intensity in your pie.
- Do not overmix; stir gently to avoid too much air, which can cause cracks.
- Blind bake your crust to prevent soggy bottoms and ensure crispness.
- Use room temperature ingredients for seamless blending and even baking.
- Test for doneness: the center should have a slight wobble but appear mostly firm when done baking.
