Is premade pie crust vegan?
Not typically. In fact, most are not vegetarian because they contain lard. I have an easy pie crust recipe I use when making pies. But if time has got the best of you, this brand is vegan!
What is pumpkin pie spice?
It’s a spice blend of all the warm, aromatic flavors that are in a pumpkin pie! Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and cloves are the primary ingredients. I usually buy pumpkin pie spice in the store, but you can make your own spice blend too by following a recipe.
How to make vegan pumpkin pie
- Start by adding all the ingredients for the pumpkin pie filling into a high-speed blender or food processor
- Pour into a pre-baked pie crust
- Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 55-60 minutes
- Let cool for at least 4 hours (I prefer overnight) to let the pumpkin filling settle
How to make vegan gluten-free pumpkin pie
My pie crust recipe works great with Bob’s Red Mill 1-1 GF flour. Instead of cornstarch in the filling, you can use arrowroot flour.
With these small adjustments, this recipe is 100% GF!
Make-ahead tips for pumpkin pie
Pie is the perfect recipe to make-ahead! It’s best to make pumpkin pie the day before that way it can settle. The last thing you want is to cut into a pumpkin pie and have the filling go everywhere!
Once the pumpkin pie is done baking let cool on the counter for about an hour. Then, cover it with some plastic wrap and place in the fridge overnight.
Really make-ahead method:
You can actually make pumpkin pie about a month in advance! Bake the pie, let it cool for about an hour at room temperature then cover with plastic wrap and foil and place in the fridge. The day you want to serve the pie, take it out of the freezer and let it thaw in the fridge for 10-12 hours. You don’t want to thaw at room temperature because you risk having a soggy crust!
Storing leftover tips for pumpkin pie
Pumpkin pie is one of those foods that really keeps well. You can keep leftovers in the fridge for about 1 week or you can even freeze cooked pumpkin pie for about 1 month.
