Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made vegan pie crust
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring the rack is positioned in the center of the oven.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt until well combined and free of lumps.
- Gradually pour in coconut milk and almond milk, continuously whisking to create a smooth mixture.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent mixture from sticking or burning.
- Cook the mixture, stirring continuously, until it begins to thicken and bubble, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to incorporate.
- Carefully pour the creamy filling into the pre-made vegan pie crust, ensuring even distribution.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely at room temperature for about 2 hours.
- Refrigerate for an additional 2-3 hours to allow the pie to set fully before serving.
- Slice into 8 equal portions and serve chilled. Optional: Garnish with vegan whipped cream or coconut flakes.
Tips
- Whisk Thoroughly: When combining the dry ingredients, take extra time to eliminate any cornstarch lumps for a perfectly smooth filling.
- Constant Stirring is Key: While cooking the filling, never stop stirring to prevent burning and ensure a consistent texture.
- Oven Placement Matters: Use the center rack to guarantee even baking and prevent burning.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature, then chill for at least 2-3 hours to achieve the perfect set.
- Optional Enhancements: Experiment with garnishes like vegan whipped cream, coconut flakes, or a light dusting of cinnamon to elevate the presentation.
- Make Ahead: This pie actually tastes better the next day, so it's perfect for preparing in advance for gatherings or special occasions.
