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.
I have tried many vegan pumpkin pies and some are winners and some just plain aren’t.
When I was coming up with this recipe I used the things that I liked about other recipes and trial and errored them until I came up with this.
And this is TASTY.
And not only is it tasty but it’s an easy vegan pumpkin pie recipe.
I do a ton of cooking for Thanksgiving so anything that is a quick slam dunk I am all in for easy recipes!

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.
If you don't have a blender you could use a food processor as well.
Let’s get the elephant in the room out of the way, the pie dough crust.
I feel like homemade pie crust is such a touchy subject, people are always worried about it.
Which I totally get, I used to be one of those worried about it.
It's stressful making sure you have a flaky crust.
But I have a recipe that is so stinking easy you don’t even need to worry.
Or if you just plain don’t want to make a crust, then don’t.
Go to the grocery store and buy one, that makes this even quicker.
You do whatever works for you.
I love when you can make something in a vegan version that tastes just like the best pumpkin pie recipe you are used to.
This pie as well as with 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.
I have, however, made this pie in the morning and we have eaten it in the evening.
It was still good, but not as good as it was the next day.

Recipe Q&A
Can you make this a vegan gluten free pumpkin pie?
Yes, the filling itself is already gluten-free. You would just need to make or buy a gluten-free pie crust.
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. 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.
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 whip cream, vegan caramel sauce, 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.
How do I make sure the edges of the crust don't burn?
I typically make little tents with aluminum foil to protect the crust that sticks out, you can also make the crust below the line, and then you don't have to worry about that. Or you could buy a pie crust shield which is usually made out of silicon and protects the edges while baking.
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.
Nowadays they have some vegan heavy creams on the market that may work to substitute the coconut milk if you can't have coconut, but I have never personally tried it. You really need the fat to make up for the eggs, etc in a traditional pumpkin pie.
Can I use fresh pumpkin?
Yes, if you want to make your own pumpkin homemade puree go for it. Sometimes homemade pumpkin can be a little bit runnier, so it may take a little more time for your pie to cook.
What do you need to make this classic vegan pumpkin pie?
Check out these simple ingredients;
- 15 oz can pure pumpkin (Not pumpkin pie filling!!)
- coconut milk, CANNED (full fat coconut milk)
- brown sugar
- white sugar
- corn starch
- cinnamon
- ginger
- nutmeg
- salt
- vanilla extract
- pie crust

How do you make it the best vegan pumpkin pie recipe?
Pie crust recipe-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a pie dish.
If you don't have a crust make this homemade crust.
You’re going to start with making your easy vegan pie crust made with basic ingredients.
Get a small bowl and put some water and ice in it.
Now take a bowl and mix your all purpose flour, salt, and sugar together until combined.

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*
Mix with a wooden spoon until it’s combined and a dough ball. Don't over mix it or else you won't have the perfect flaky pie crust .
It shouldn’t be overly sticky.
Get your rolling pin.
I like to roll mine 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.
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.

Take all your pumpkin pie filling ingredients- pumpkin puree, full-fat coconut milk, throw them into a blender. I use a Blendtec.
Blend until smooth, then pour into the unbaked pie crust.

Bake pie in a preheated oven for 55-60 minutes until it’s not overly jiggly in the middle.
Let this come to room temperature on a cooling rack then put it in the fridge when it's cooled completely and cover until preferably the next day.
I hope you enjoy this pumpkin pie that's perfect for your vegan Thanksgiving or whatever holiday season it may be for.
Who says pumpkin flavor can only be enjoyed for the holidays? That's right, no one around here!

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.
Courtneys Homestead says
Thanks so much Cheri for taking the time to make a comment! I appreciate it so much! I’m sorry it was too sweet for you, but I’m glad it was still tasty! Thanks again! ❤️
Jaime says
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.

Rita Miller says
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!
Courtneys Homestead says
Hi Rita! Thanks so much for trying it. I sure hope it turns out delicious for you! I have never frozen it before, but I think my mother in law has. Let me check with her and I'll let you know! ❤
Courtneys Homestead says
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! ❤
Rita Miller says
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!
Courtneys Homestead says
Thanks so much for coming back and letting me know! I am so glad you have something your grandson can enjoy as well! Thanks again for trying to Rita! I hope you have an amazing Thanksgiving! ❤❤
Lisa Fehlman says
Very tasty, but learned you have to use the full fat canned coconut milk or it won’t get firm. I visit your blog regularly great recipes. Thank you.
Courtneys Homestead says
Thanks so much for trying it, Lisa! Yes, you do have to use full fat canned or it won't set. Thanks again for trying it and visiting regularly! ❤❤

Melissa says
I love this recipe. I had to cook it for a little bit longer because my oven isn’t as hot as it should be. The pie tastes great!
Courtneys Homestead says
Thanks so much for trying it Melissa! I have adjusted the cook time on it, it seemed to need a bit longer. Thanks again! ❤❤
Amanda Black says
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 says
Never set up, cooked it for an extra 40 minutes 15 minutes at a time. Ended up having to throw the whole thing away
Courtneys Homestead says
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. ❤❤❤
Jaime says
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?
Courtneys Homestead says
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.
Jaime says

Courtneys Homestead says
Thanks for replying back Jamie. I am glad it still tasted good. I made a couple over Thanksgiving and they were tasty. Thanks again for trying it! ❤❤
