For the Crust:
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup cold vegan butter, cubed
3–5 tablespoons ice water
For the Filling:
1 (15 oz) can pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
¾ cup full-fat coconut milk
¾ cup brown sugar, packed
¼ cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
â…› teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon salt
Make the Crust:Â In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the cold, cubed vegan butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
Form the Dough:Â Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of ice water over the mixture. Gently mix with a fork until the dough begins to clump together. If it’s too dry, add more water, one tablespoon at a time. Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Roll and Fit the Crust: On a floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges as desired. Prick the bottom with a fork. Place the crust in the freezer while you preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Par-Bake the Crust: Line the chilled crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes. Carefully remove the parchment and weights, then bake for another 5-7 minutes until the bottom looks dry. Remove and let it cool slightly. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
Make the Filling:Â In a blender, combine the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, all spices, and salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
Assemble and Bake:Â Pour the filling into the slightly cooled par-baked crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake to Perfection: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges of the filling are set and the center only has a slight jiggle.
Cool Completely:Â Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the filling to fully set.
