Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups coconut cream
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 pre-made dairy-free pie crust
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Allow the pre-made dairy-free pie crust to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine coconut cream, almond milk, maple syrup, and pumpkin puree. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Add vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt to the pumpkin mixture. Stir until all spices are evenly distributed and the filling has a consistent color and texture.
- Carefully pour the filling into the pre-made dairy-free pie crust, ensuring an even distribution and leaving about 1/4 inch of space from the top to prevent overflow during baking.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. The filling should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center when gently shaken.
- Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature for approximately 2 hours. This helps the filling set and enhances the flavor.
- Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to achieve the best texture and flavor profile.
- Optional: Garnish with dairy-free whipped topping or a sprinkle of additional cinnamon before serving.
Tips
- Always use room temperature ingredients to ensure a smooth, well-incorporated filling.
- Don't overmix the filling - just whisk until ingredients are combined to prevent a tough texture.
- Use a high-quality, pre-made dairy-free pie crust for convenience and consistent results.
- Check the pie at 40 minutes - every oven is slightly different, so watch for that perfect set-but-slightly-jiggly texture.
- Allow ample cooling time to help the filling set properly and develop deep, rich flavors.
- For an extra-impressive presentation, create a decorative edge on your pie crust or garnish with dairy-free whipped topping.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days to maintain the best texture and taste.
