No-Bake Vegan Pumpkin Pie {GF VG DF SF NF Paleo}

No-Bake Vegan Pumpkin Pie

Good lord this a good pie.

Like insanely must not eat all the filling with a spoon before putting it in the crust good. And crazy text my mother and sister-in-law as I’m licking said spoon to tell them how good it is and that they need to make it for Thanksgiving good. And why on earth didn’t I do this ages ago good.

I have no idea why this recipe took me so long to piece together. To use the principals of my Key Lime Pie and Lemon Custard and apply them to the cooked-custard Vegan Pumpkin Pie from a few years back.

No-Bake Vegan Pumpkin Pie

Now I’m not calling this a raw Pumpkin Pie because the pumpkin is cooked — however if you are a raw-food convert and have a blender capable of pureeing raw pumpkin, go for your life.

While we’re on the topic of pumpkin, yes you can use the one from the can but once you make your own roasted pumpkin for pie you’ll never touch the tasteless canned stuff again. Really.

No-Bake Vegan Pumpkin Pie

You see, when I first moved to Australia there was no canned pumpkin here, and unless you stumble upon stuff imported from the US there still isn’t (thank goodness). As such, my foray into roasting pumpkin started on my first Thanksgiving in Sydney, because I had to have pie.

So why no canned pumpkin back then? Well if Australians wanted pumpkin they steamed or baked it and served it for dinner — pumpkin sweets were simply unheard of.

Now however, thanks to Australians’ obsession with American food combined with the total takeover of the internet by bloggers and magazines sharing pumpkin desserts for the entire second half of the year (not that there’s anything wrong with that), Pumpkin Pie has crept into the collective Australian consciousness and menus everywhere.

Given, at an average of $10 – $15 a slice, you’re about a thousand times better off making it at home anyway. Not even kidding.

No-Bake Vegan Pumpkin Pie

Anyway, what was my point? Oh, right — since that first roasted pumpkin pie I’ve never looked back. The method at the end of the recipe below is my favourite no-fail way to create sweet, caramelised roasted pumpkin puree with minimal effort. It makes a world of difference and I’d highly recommend giving it a go.

Ok, you’ve waited long enough so lets get to the recipe, and while I know pretty much everyone already has their Thursday pie-plans solidified this one is quite possibly worth making next week (or Saturday…) just because, and definitely for Christmas.

To everyone over in America-land have a wonderful Thanksgiving and an extra serving of stuffing with cranberry sauce for me. I’ll be eating pie.

No-Bake Vegan Pumpkin Pie

No-Bake Vegan Pumpkin PieI have no idea why this recipe took me so long to create, it is blindingly obvious and insanely delicious and barely made it into the crust as all I wanted to do was eat it with a spoon. If you can, go the extra step and roast your own pumpkin — it makes a world of difference.

Makes 1 standard pie (approx 3 c filling)

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 c roast pumpkin, mashed
  • ½ c milk-type liquid of your choice (see note)
  • ¼ c syrup (see note)
  • ½ c coconut oil, melted
  • 1 ½ tsp cinnamon + 1 tsp ginger + ½ tsp allspice + ¼ tsp nutmeg + a pinch of ground cloves
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 1 Tbsp bourbon, optional but recommended, because bourbon
  • 1 Pecan Oat No-Bake Raw Pie Crust or any other crust you wish
  • Whipped Coconut Cream to serve

METHOD

Prepare pie crust — pressing a raw crust into a standard pie pan or pre-baking a baked crust — and refrigerate until needed.

Blend pumpkin and milk-type liquid until very smooth. Add remaining ingredients and blend again until well combined.

Pour into prepared crust and refrigerate, for at least 4 hours or overnight, before cutting. Serve with Whipped Coconut Cream if you please.

COOK’S NOTES

  • Milk-type liquid: I used almond milk but oat/rice/hemp/coconut or even dairy would work fine depending on your pantry and food avoidances. You could even use juice or water but milk adds a nice creaminess.
  • Sweetener: you may need more or less depending on the sweetness of your pumpkin. Maple is sweetest, rice syrup less so, honey would probably overpower the pumpkin, I don’t use agave. In a pinch dissolve ¼ c rapadura or raw sugar in 2 Tbsp hot water to make a syrup.

How to Roast Pumpkin for Pie
Roasting more pumpkin, because pie.

Slice a Jap (Australia), Kabocha (US), Pie Pumpkin (US) or Butternut into wedges and remove seeds. Rub cut sides with a bit of coconut oil and arrange, skin side down, in a lined roasting pan.

Cover with foil and bake at 180°C / 350°F for 45 mins. Remove foil and bake a further 15 mins or until crazy tender when wide part of a wedge is pierced with a knife.

Cool and scoop from skin and don’t worry about the darker bits on the tips of the wedges, there shouldn’t be too many. Pumpkin can be roasted a day or two in advance and stored in the fridge until needed.

      It’s optional so you don’t have to use it.

I took this video on Jan 1. I even wrote a caption I took this video on Jan 1. I even wrote a caption and everything. And I intended to post it that day as a reflection moving into a new year. But instead, mom and I went out for pizza and wine, and then it was Jan 2, and so on and so on. 
🌀
So instead you’re getting it on Feb 1. A new day and another new month (but what is a new month or a new year, other than a societal convention really). 
☀️
Because, each day, each sunrise, we have the opportunity to start anew - no matter how big or little that start may be. A chance to take another step forward - no matter how many steps back you feel you’re fighting against. 
🌀
Whether this past year brought blinding joy or paralysing grief (and in whatever measure of balance or imbalance), I hope each new day sees the landscape of your life look one step closer to what you imagine it to be. And that when the waves roll in and change that landscape, you can roll with it and see the beauty and possibility on the other side.
🌊
If you’ve made it this far, congratulations, have a cookie 🍪 And I’ll leave you with the rolling waves and blue sky of a California beach in January. I truly hope this year sees us all grow stronger and move forward with each new day. Going backwards is simply not an option.

When the middle little insisted on buying quail eggs over Christmas, but due to allll the other food we never cooked them, I simply couldn’t let the little guys go to waste. 
🥚
Could I have made one dish? Of course. Did I instead prepare quail eggs four ways, bake mini loaves of brioche, make mini waffles, dig through the prop closet for the smallest dishes, and set up an entire table? Of course I did.

Swipe to the end for reference on the size of the eggs and loaf.

My go-to pizza topping combo 🍕 Made on that dou My go-to pizza topping combo 🍕 Made on that dough from a couple weeks ago and voiced by the middle little (who is about as different from her younger sister as you can get!) 💥.
🍕
Sometimes this combo gets prawns too 🍤. Most of the time I don’t bother mixing the ingredients in a bowl and just layer them on top. The cheese is a hard goat cheese (because I can’t do 🐄). The ‘spices’ 🌱 is Sicilian oregano. The measurements are random at best - a handful of this, a splash of that. 
🍕
If you have a fave veggie or seafood pizza combo I’d love to hear it. Because as Ms.S says, voila, yummy yummy pizza!
