    This super easy classic vegan pumpkin pie only uses 10 ingredients; everything is thrown into a blender, blended, poured into a pie dish, and on its way to baking. This is truly the easiest, best vegan pumpkin pie.

    One of my favorite post-Thanksgiving treats is having a cold piece of vegan pumpkin pie and a big dollop of vegan whipped cream on Black Friday.

    It’s a special treat that signifies the holidays are in full swing. If you're looking for delicious vegan holiday pies, check out this Apple Crumble Vegan Pie, Vegan Chocolate Cream pie, or Pumpkin Pie Vegan Bars.

    I have tried many vegan pumpkin pies; some are winners, and some aren’t. I love it when you can make something in a vegan version that tastes just like the best pumpkin pie recipe you are used to, and this is that.

    • Amazing Vegan Classic Pumpkin Pie

    What I love about this recipe...

    • And not only is it tasty, but it’s an easy vegan pumpkin pie recipe.
    • This classic vegan pumpkin pie filling is made in a blender! Yup, throw everything in that bad boy and let it blend until smooth. It’s pure magic.
    • It tastes just like a regular pumpkin pie.
    • It uses no egg replacement.
    • It's the perfect Thanksgiving dessert.

    Ingredients and Substitutions

    Vegan pumpkin pie ingredients in small bowls with black writing.
    • 15 oz can pure pumpkin (Not pumpkin pie filling!!)- I prefer canned pumpkin puree only because it's easier. But if you want to make your own homemade pumpkin puree, go for it. Sometimes, homemade pumpkin can be a bit runnier, so your pie may take a little more time to cook.
    • Coconut milk, CANNED (full-fat coconut milk)- This is a must, and there is no other substitution. The pumpkin pie will not be set up if you don't use the full-fat canned variety.
    • Brown sugar and White sugar- these sugars pair perfectly with each other to make the best vegan pumpkin pie.
    • Corn starch- I've never tried any other starch like arrowroot with this pie. The cornstarch is needed to help the pie set up properly since it has no eggs in it.
    • Cinnamon- Ginger-Nutmeg- these are all crucial to the recipe since you're not using a pre-made pumpkin pie spice. You could use one, but I'm not totally sure what the ratio would be.
    • Salt- Don't leave this out it helps the flavors pop.
    • Vanilla extract- I would keep this in it helps bring all the flavors full circle.
    • Vegan Pie crust- You can make your favorite homemade pie crust, a store-bought pie crust, or mine, which is super easy and delicious.

    Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for full ingredient and quantity information.

    How to make it the best vegan pumpkin pie recipe

    If you don't have a crust, make this homemade crust. You will start with making your easy vegan pie crust with simple ingredients.

    A glass pie plate empty on a marble background.

    Step 1- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a pie dish.

    Ice water in a small white bowl on a marble background.

    Step 2- Put some water and ice in a small bowl.

    Vegan pie crust dry ingredients in a glass pyrex bowl.

    Step 3- Now, take a bowl and mix your all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar until combined.

    Step 4- Take your oil and 4 TB ice cold water and pour it into your flour mixture *This will look messy and like it won’t come together*

    Step 5-Mix with a wooden spoon until it’s combined and a dough ball. Don't over-mix it, or you won't have the perfect flaky pie crust. It shouldn’t be overly sticky.

    Step 6- Get your rolling pin. I like to roll my pie dough out on a Silpat or parchment paper with a thing of plastic wrap on top to prevent any sticking. Flour the surface lightly. When rolling, make sure to add even pressure so you don’t end up with thin spots. Roll it out to about 2 inches bigger than your pie pan.

    Step 7- Carefully place the dough in your pie plate and cut the remaining dough that’s hanging over.  Do not pre-bake this; it will burn the crust. Set this aside while you make your filling.

    Step 8- Take all your pumpkin pie filling ingredients and add them into a blender. I use a Blendtec.

    Step 9- Blend until smooth, then pour into the unbaked pie crust.

    Step 10- Bake pie in a preheated oven for 55-60 minutes until it’s not overly jiggly in the middle.

    Step 11- Let this come to room temperature on a cooling rack, then put it in the fridge when it's cooled completely and cover it until, preferably, the next day.

    Expert Tips and Tricks

    1. If you don't have a blender, you could also use a food processor.
    2. This pie, as well as all pumpkin pies, is always better the next day. It gives time for the flavors to blend, and it really needs time to develop. Never eat a pumpkin pie warm fresh out of the oven; it’s just not good.
    3. Make sure only to use full-fat canned coconut milk, or this recipe won't turn out.
    4. If you need this to be gluten-free, use a gluten-free pie crust.

    Recipe Q&A

    How do I store this vegan homemade pumpkin pie?

    Once it’s completely cooled, store it in the fridge with saran wrap loosely over it. Or in an airtight container. This will store for up to 5 days or so.

    Does this dairy-free pumpkin pie taste like coconut?

    I don’t think it has a strong coconut flavor at all. It does have a very slight hint, but no one has ever mentioned it; they’ve only mentioned how delicious it is.

    Can I use coconut milk in a carton or almond milk?

    No, this is really the secret ingredient to this recipe, and it won't turn out. You need the thickness and fat in the full-fat canned coconut milk to get the best texture and that creamy pumpkin filling you're used to.

    How do I make sure the crust edges don't burn?

    I typically make little tents with aluminum foil to protect the edges of the crust that sticks out. You can also make the crust below the line; you don't have to worry about that. Or you could buy a pie crust shield that is usually made of silicon and protects the edges while baking.

    What should I serve with the pumpkin pie?

    You can serve it as is or with vegan whipping cream, vegan ice cream, sweetened coconut cream, coconut whipped cream, vegan caramel sauce, or whatever you love with traditional pumpkin pie. This vegan pumpkin pie would taste SO good in a blender with some vegan vanilla ice cream as a pumpkin pie milkshake.

    Ingredients

    Pie filling

    • 1 15 oz can pure pumpkin
    • 1 13.5 oz can coconut milk Canned FULL FAT
    • ½ cup brown sugar
    • ½ cup white sugar
    • ⅓ cup cornstarch
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    • ½ teaspoon ginger ground
    • ½ teaspoon nutmeg ground
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 1.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Pie Crust

    • 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 2 TB white sugar
    • ½ cup neutral oil
    • 4 TB ice water

    Instructions

    • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a pie dish.
    • You're going to start with making your crust. Get a small bowl and put some water and ice in it.
    • Now take a bowl and mix your flour, salt, and sugar together until combined.  Take your oil and 4 TB ice water and pour it into your flour mixture *this will look messy and like it won't come together* Mix with a wooden spoon until it's combined and a dough ball.  It shouldn't be overly sticky. 
    • I like to roll mine out on a Silpat with a thing of saran wrap on top to prevent any sticking.  When rolling, make sure to add even pressure so you don't end up with thin spots. Roll it out to about 2 inches bigger than your pie pan. Carefully place the dough in your pie dish and cut the remaining dough that's hanging over.  Set this aside while you make your filling.
    • Take all your pumpkin pie ingredients and throw them into a blender. I use a Blendtec. Blend until smooth, then pour into the pie crust.
    • Cook in a preheated oven for 55-60 minutes until it's not overly jiggly in the middle. This will take a few hours to fully set up. It shouldn't be soupy at all, it should be cooked well on the edges and most of the jiggle out. This is best if it can be left on the counter to cool and finish cooking for a few hours then placed in the fridge for at the very least 6 hours.

      I made this pie this morning and baked it for 55 minutes. I had an appointment so let it cool while I was gone. When I returned it went in the refrigerator. It set up beautifully. The only thing I will change is the amount of sugar, I’ll use a little less as it is quite sweet. Otherwise the flavor is great.

      It did set up better, but it needed about 24 hours in the fridge. It tastes AMAZING. I will definitely be remaking this. Maybe I messed something up along the way.

      It’s in the oven right now! My grandson is allergic to dairy, eggs, and peanuts so I’m trying out recipes to use for Thanksgiving! My fingers are crossed that this works as it tasted wonderful! Assuming it does, can it be frozen for the big day?

      Thanks for the recipes!

        Rita, I just checked with her. She didn't end up freezing it. From what I read online you can freeze it, but I haven't ever done it. You can also make it a couple of days in advance and store it in the fridge. I hope that helps! ❤

          I just tried the first piece! DELICIOUS! I let it bake an extra 20 minutes, let it sit on the counter for about 3 hours, and then put it in the fridge, and the texture is PERFECT! I’m not going to tell anyone it’s vegan and we’ll see if they notice! Thanks for all the great recipes!

      This was a great recipe! I love the ease of blending all the ingredients in my Vitamix. This made it feel really simple. I checked it after the specified time and it still jiggled so I left it for ten more minutes and took it out. My husband prefers cold pumpkin pie so it sat in the fridge overnight and he said it was AMAZING! “Better than store bought.” Which saying a lot coming from him.

        Sue, I am SO sorry this happened to you. I remade the recipe after reading your comment and I did not have this problem. What size pumpkin did you use? Did you use full-fat canned coconut milk or one from a box? I again apologize, nothing is worse than throwing out a recipe! I am not sure what went wrong. I have adjusted the cooking time a bit. Let me know if any of the above was different. ❤❤❤

      It tastes great, but didn’t solidify very well. I baked it muuuuch longer than the recipe stated. Maybe I used too much pumpkin? What size can do you call for?

        Hey Jamie, I am sorry to hear it didn't solidify well. I haven't had that happen. I used a 15 oz can of pumpkin, I need to add that to the recipe. Thanks for trying it! It may set up more overnight as well.
