Vegan Pumpkin Pie with Caramel Sauce - ilovevegan.com

Classic veganized pumpkin pie. This is throwback to one of the first recipes I created for I Love Vegan, waaay back in 2012. You can peep the original on my tumblr. Look, it’s the same plate!

(Left) Uncooked pastry crust. (Right) Uncooked pastry crust with filling.

The original recipe’s crust was made with whole wheat flour and coconut oil. This one uses good ol’ all-purpose and vegan butter. Do yourself a favour and stick with the white flour/faux butter combo, it’s going to make your life much easier and your guests (or you know, just you) really happy. This crust is bang on, it’s flakey, it’s flavourful, and it’s pretty easy too!

Coconut oil certainly works for pie crust, but because it’s so sensitive to temperature, it’s difficult to work with. Chilled coconut oil is hard as rock (well nearly…) and warm coconut oil is straight liquid. Vegan butter on the other hand? Super easy to work with and so much more flavourful. Use our trusty ol’ pie crust tutorial for step-by-step pictures.

If you’d prefer a non-pastry crust, we’ve got a recipe for Rustic Oat Crisp Pumpkin Pie. That crust is totally foolproof! If you’re looking for a no-bake option, try our Pumpkin Pie Parfaits.

Coconut whip and I aren’t on speaking terms at the moment so we’re topping this classic pie with a simple caramel walnut sauce. Feel free to use coconut whip if you’d like!

Description

Delicious, flakey, flavourful vegan pie crust. For best results, use vegan butter instead of coconut oil or shortening.


Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup vegan butter, chilled (you can substitute vegetable shortening or coconut oil but the crust will be less flavourful – add 1/2 tsp salt)
  • ¼ cup ice water

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine flour and salt (if using coconut oil or vegetable shortening.)
  2. Cut the chilled vegan butter into the flour using your hands or a pastry blender The fat should be cut into very small pieces, resembling coarse corn meal.
  3. Slowly add ice water (just a little bit at a time, you may not need a full ¼ cup), stirring with a fork until the dough is crumbly and just holds together. The dough should not be sticky or wet.
  4. Wrap dough tightly in plastic wrap to form a disk. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow to moisture to distribute evenly throughout the dough.
  5. After chilling, unwrap dough and place onto a well floured work surface. Start rolling from the center of the dough to the outside. Roll in different directions to keep a circular shape.
  6. After every few passes with the rolling pin, release the dough from your work surface using a long spatula to keep the dough from tearing.
  7. Roll the dough until it is about an 1 or 2 inches larger than your pie plate. Gently pick up you dough and transfer into your pie plate. Cut off the excess and use a fork to decorate the lip of your dough. Using your fork, prick the bottom of your dough several times.

Notes

Substituting coconut oil for vegan butter will make this crust harder to work with.

Description

This pourable vegan caramel sauce is great for pumpkin pie, hot drinks, and desserts all year round!


Scale

Ingredients

  • ½ cup sugar
  • 50 ml water
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp margarine
  • ¼ cup + 1 tbsp soy milk, divided
  • 1/3 –½ cup chopped walnuts (or pecans)
  • large ice water bath (large enough to hold your saucepan)

Instructions

  1. Gather all supplies and measure all ingredients before beginning. Keep everything within arm’s reach.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring sugar and water to a full boil. Prevent sugar granules from collecting on the sides. Avoid stirring.
  3. Once the entire surface of the sugar is boiling, add the lemon juice. Do no stir.
  4. Allow to boil for 3 minutes – until the sugar goes from clear to lightly golden (not brown!)
  5. Leave the burner on, remove the sauce pan from the heat and whisk in 1 tbsp of margarine.
  6. Put back onto the heat, allow to boil and whisk constantly for 3 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and gradually whisk in ¼ cup of soy milk. Be careful! The sugar could splatter a little bit.
  8. Put back on the heat, whisking constantly, and add an additional 1 tbsp of soy milk.
  9. Whisk for 1 minute and add chopped walnuts.
  10. Transfer pot to an ice water bath. Whisk vigorously – you’re trying to incorporate a little bit of air while cooling down the caramel.
  11. As the caramel cools it will thicken up, if it starts to get too thick add 1 tbsp of soy milk and continue to whisk. Add more soy milk and whisk if needed.
  12. Serve over pumpkin pie.

    what type of sugar do you think would be best for this recipe?

      Any granulated sugar will work! I used regular white sugar but you can use evaporated cane sugar or coconut sugar.

      I haven’t tried the recipe with almond milk but it would probably work quite well. I’d imagine there would be a slight difference though.

    • (#ad) Vegan Pot Pies topped with a flaky pastry crust (or biscuits!) Pot pies are the ultimate comfort food, and this vegan recipe is full of familiar flavours. The flaky top crust hides a filling of vegan cream sauce, vegetables, and seasoned tofu. Serve them as a plant-based holiday main or bring a serving to enjoy at those not so vegan-friendly holiday get-togethers. Made with @LittlePotatoCo’s Terrific Trio Creamer potatoes.⠀

    • #ad 🎃 What’s scarier than Halloween and horror movies? The spooky single-use plastic that haunts our homes, sneaking in along with even the most virtuous of vegan pantry staples. Even more bone-chilling is how that terrifying trash never sleeps, trying to creep in all year long 😱 ⠀

You won’t just find great deals at Bulk Barn. They have reusable straws/shopping bags/bulk food bags/containers to help you say RIP to single-use plastic! 💀 Happy Halloween! ⠀
    • #ad  Fresh restock of my spice/herb rack with the help of @BulkBarnFoods and their Reusable Container Program! You can buy as little or as much as you want, and bring in your own reusable containers to shop waste-free!

    • 💄🌱I’m testing out the Vegancuts makeup box! This theme is minimalism and features daily use products like eyeliner, neutral shadow, a brush, contour kit, and setting spray. ⠀
Overall, I really enjoyed this box! 4/5 of the products fit perfectly into my typical makeup routine, and the one that doesn't is repurposed for everyday use too! Use code “ilovevegan” for $5 off your first box!⠀
⠀
💄100% Pure Creamy Long Lasting Eyeliner - $25USD ($35CAD)⠀
I’ve been using this daily since I received it. Super creamy and blendable.⠀
⠀
💄RMS Beauty Swift Shadow - $20USD ($26 CAD)⠀
I haven’t used this yet because I’ve been using the 100% Pure eyeliner in brown, and the shadow I received is a silver/grey. Swatches look super pretty though!⠀
⠀
💄la beaut Soi Blending Brush - $3USD (does not ship to Canada)⠀
I’ve been using this daily! I’d repurchase more of these but they don’t ship to Canada.⠀
⠀
💄Aesthetica Powder Contour Kit - $40USD / 53 CAD⠀
I prefer cream face products over powder ones so I’ve been using this as setting powder/eyeshado.⠀
⠀
💄Pacifica Cherry Matte Setting Spray - $10USD ($13 CAD)⠀
I’ve been using this daily. Gorgeous packaging, lovely fragrance, and a nice fine mist. More like a dewy setting spray.⠀
⠀
Vegancuts value - $100 USD / $131 CAD⠀
Vegancuts cost - $39.95 USD / $62 CAD⠀
⠀
🔥Pros:⠀
It ships to Canada!⠀
I love being surprised by a package in the mail filled with fun beauty stuff.⠀
I enjoy trying some higher end vegan products at a more affordable price.⠀
I really like trying products that are hard to get in Canada.⠀
⠀
⠀
🚫Cons:⠀
This is a luxury service. Outside of the US, it’s really expensive! None of the products blew my usual drugstore products out of the water. With $62 CAD, I could buy a lot of vegan and cruelty-free makeup!⠀
⠀
The boxes have been gifted to me, but this post is not sponsored. I try to keep the actual cost of these boxes in mind. Would I be satisfied if I’d paid for them? For that reason I’ll be including prices in Canadian $. Use code “ilovevegan” for 5$ off your first box (if you use it I’ll get a small commission from that sale.)⠀
