Vegan Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie ~ 

Pumpkin pie – the iconic, quintessential pie of Thanksgiving.

Vegan Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie - The iconic, quintessential pie of Thanksgiving! Rich, creamy, and loaded with spices of the season. Easy & comforting - a family favorite year after year!

Rich, creamy, and loaded with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves; the classic spices of the season, this easy and comforting pie continues to be a family favorite year after year.

This post probably should have been titled something like, “Libby’s Pumpkin Pie Goes Vegan” because that’s really what’s going on here.

I made that pie for years and I think what I like about pumpkin pie, in addition to the taste, is that it’s not fussy like so many of the others on the Thanksgiving dessert table.

Pumpkin pie is not even trying to compete; it’s confident and humble at the same time. A classic.

I have had to make only two ingredient adjustments since going vegan almost 3 years ago.

I’ve swapped eggs for egg replacer and canned dairy-based evaporated milk for plant-based homemade.

That’s it.

Easy.

Vegan Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie - The iconic, quintessential pie of Thanksgiving! Rich, creamy, and loaded with spices of the season. Easy & comforting - a family favorite year after year!

Ingredients for Vegan Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie:

You will need:

  • deep-dish pie crust
  • granulated sugar
  • ground cinnamon
  • sea salt
  • ground ginger
  • ground cloves
  • vegan egg replacer – I use Bob’s Red Mill brand for this recipe.
  • evaporated milk – I make my own using unsweetened almond milk; find the recipe here.
  • canned pumpkin

How to Make Vegan Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie:

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

STEP TWO: Prepare the egg replacer according to package directions. Set aside.

STEP THREE: Mix together dry ingredients. Into a large mixing bowl, add sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger, and cloves. Stir to combine.

STEP FOUR: Add all wet ingredients except evaporated milk. Add pumpkin and egg replacer mixture.

STEP FIVE: Stir, or use a hand mixer set on low speed, just until combined.

STEP SIX: Add evaporated milk. Continue mixing and slowly add in evaporated milk.

STEP SEVEN: Stir or mix until fully incorporated.

STEP EIGHT: Pour into the pie shell. Bake for 15 minutes.

STEP NINE: Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F.

STEP TEN: Continue baking 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

STEP ELEVEN Place on a wire rack to cool completely. Transfer to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, and up to overnight to set.

STEP TWELVE: Garnish with dairy-free whipped cream and a sprinkling of nutmeg, if desired then serve.

Enjoy!

      Hi Shelly ~ While I have not tried this particular recipe with coconut evaporated milk, I think it should work fine. If you go with coconut evaporated milk, let me know how it turns out!

    Hello! So far I have made this twice and I am clearly doing something wrong. It looks nothing like the beautiful picture. The first time I made, the custard boiled. It nearly boiled out of the pie plate. The top texture was kind of rough. The taste was FABULOUS but it looked awful. My first try I used the evaporated milk recipe with homemade soy milk. For my second attempt, I used store bought oat milk. And again, the flavor is delicious but it looks…funny. It is not smooth like the picture of this recipe. Any tips or suggestions on what could be happening? I WANT to say I followed the recipe exactly but since I bombed twice, I suspect I am doing something wrong. It is more…pudding-like an doesn’t really set up. And again, there is a bit of a rim on the side and then the middle sinks down a little. Now, my kids and husband are loving my failed attempts because the recipe is so delicious. Hah, but now I would like to try and nail the presentation. Thank you for the delicious recipe and any tips you might be able to offer.

      Hi Kaitlin ~ I’m glad to hear the flavor is working but I’m not sure why the texture would be off… possibly over or under mixing? Try letting the pie cool down in the still-warm oven then, once it’s completely cooled, refrigerate – this should help with firming it up. I hope this is helpful!

    Thank you for the reply. I am currently making another batch of the evaporated milk to try again. The second attempt did set up quite a bit more after cooling. But, there was still a weird skin on the top of it. Is it possible I am doing something off with the egg replacement? I typically use flax eggs as replacements but got the Bob’s Red Mill because I didn’t want to deviate from the recipe at all.

      I’ve only used Bob’s Red Mill with this recipe which makes me think that’s not it. Could you be baking the pie too close too the oven’s heating element? Sometimes that can cause “skin” or sinking.

    Hello again! With the homemade evaporated milk–does it need to be chilled before using? I made this pie a third time and by lowering the oven rack, the texture was somewhat better. But the pie was very dark and still…just not quite right. BUT, I used the homemade evaporated milk straight off the stove–maybe it made the mixture too hot? Because when I was baking the pie, I saw that it was boiling in the over (350 degrees). My thought was that maybe the hot evaporated milk I made could be a problem.

      Yes! The milk needs to be completely cooled prior to use and the pie should be completely cooled to set properly.
