Vegan - Gluten Free Pumpkin Pie THE BEST Pumpkin Pie that requires just 10 ingredients and is both vegan and gluten-free! Crisp crust, flavourful pumpkin center — the perfect pumpkin pie for your holiday meals. CRUST INGREDIENTS: 1¼ cup Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 Gluten-Free Flour* ¼ teaspoon salt 6 tablespoons cold vegan butter 4-6 tablespoons ice cold water FILLING INGREDIENTS: 2 ¾ cups pumpkin puree (1 ½ 15-ounce cans yield 2 ¾ cups) ¼ cup cup maple syrup ¼ cup cup brown sugar 1/3 cup unsweetened plain almond milk 1 tablespoon olive oil (or melted coconut oil) 2 ½ Tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot powder 1 ¾ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or sub mix of ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg & cloves) ¼ teaspoon sea salt FOR SERVING (OPTIONAL): Coconut Whipped Cream Vegan Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream PREPARATION: To prepare crust, add gluten-free flour and salt to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Slice or dollop the cold butter in and work gently with a fork or pastry cutter to cut it in. Don’t overwork, just get it incorporated. Next add ice cold water a little at a time and use a wooden spoon to stir. Only add as much water as you need to help it come together (don't add more than 6 tablespoons). Once a crumbly dough is formed, transfer to a piece of plastic wrap (or parchment paper) and work gently with your hands to form a 1/2-inch-thick disc. Wrap firmly and refrigerate for a minimum 30 minutes, up to 2 days. Just let it warm back up a little before using. You don’t want it too warm, or it can get too soft to handle. Once your dough is chilled, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and prepare pie filling. Add all pie filling ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth, scraping down sides as needed. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Set aside. To roll out the crust, unwrap the disc and place it between two sizable layers of parchment or wax paper (plastic wrap will work OK, but is a little more difficult to work with). Use a rolling pin to gently roll it into the shape of your pie pan (we recommend a standard 9-inch pan). If it cracks, don’t stress – you can reform it with your hands once you get it in the pan. But try and be gentle. To transfer the crust, remove the top layer of wax paper and gently lay the pie dish face down on top of the crust and use the support of the wax paper to invert it quickly but carefully. Don’t overthink it – just do it. Once you get the crust inverted, gently use your hands to form it into the pan, working the crust up along the sides. It can be a little tricky, but it bakes beautifully, so it’s worth the effort! Just try not to overwork the dough in the process – it shouldn’t take more than a few minutes to perfect the shape. Any holes or cracks can be mended with a little excess dough and the heat of your hand. TIP: I would advise against trying to be fancy and do any elaborate design with the crust, so just get the crust in, get a flat edge and go. Pour filling into pie crust and bake for 58-65 minutes. The crust should be light golden brown, and the filling will still be just a bit jiggly and have some cracks on the top. Remove from oven and let cool completely before loosely covering and transferring to the refrigerator to fully set for 4-6 hours, preferably overnight. Slice and serve with coconut whipped cream and an additional sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, and/or pumpkin pie spice (optional). This would also be amazing with my Vegan Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream and Brown Sugar Pecans.
