How to Make a Vegan Pumpkin Pie

How to Make a Vegan Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin pie is yummy, but because of the eggs is a 'vegan no-no'. Here is a recipe that even a vegan can enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces pureed pumpkin (or one can)
  • ½ cup syrup, Xylitol (natural sweetener) or 3/4 cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger (or 1 tsp. fresh ginger, minced)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice, optional
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, optional
  • 1 package (10-12 ounces) firm silken tofu
  • 1 unbaked vegan pie shell

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 425 F.
  2. Puree tofu and spices in food processor until stiff and creamy; you can add two tablespoons of soy or rice milk for the best consistency.
  3. Blend in the pumpkin and sugar.
  4. Pour mixture into pie shell or go crust free.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes.
  6. Lower heat to 350 F and bake for another 60 minutes.
  7. Chill and serve.

Tips

  • Don't use the low fat tofu, then the pie tastes like it was made with tofu.
  • You can top it with non-dairy topping to finalize the pumpkin pie dish. Most people will not know that you used tofu!
  • Preparation time: about 1 hour + chilling time

Things You'll Need

  • Oven
  • Food processor

An Alternative To Gelatin For Vegetarians Author: Jesus Smay Gelatin serves both nutritional and culinary roles in nonvegetarian diets; however, a lot of vegetarians and all vegans do not consume gelatin in its many forms because it is often created out of boiled pig skins and dissolved veal cartilage and bones. This leaves vegetarians with a gap in cooking functionality when a recipe calls for a gel or thickening agent. It also leaves vegetarians with fewer options if they need a source of gelatin to increase bone and cartilage health. If you are a vegetarian and you are looking for something to replace gelatin, do not despair. Here are some alternative options for you: Use a rice starch alternative. A&B Ingredients recently developed a rice starch alternative to gelatins that mimics the cooking functionality of gelatins closely. Use a soy-based alternative. Soyfoods USA developed NuSoy Gel, a gelatin alternative which was created entirely out of of soy isoflavones a...
