- 1 to 2 tsp almond milk , if needed
For the Pumpkin filling:
- 1 1/2 cup canned full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup ground raw sugar , or brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 3 Tbsp starch like arrowroot or cornstarch, tapioca doesnt work as well. reduce starch by 1/2 tbsp for less gelatinousness.
- 2 Tbsp chickpea flour, or use unbleached white flour
- 1 1/4 cup Pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie mix
- 1.5 to 2 tsp pumpkin spice, or use 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp cloves, 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp oil , or vegan butter
- 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Gingerbread Crust, Recipe above
Instructions
For the Crust:
- Pulse the coconut with crystallized ginger in a blender, to break down the ginger and the coconut flakes to smaller flakes. Pulse a few times and transfer to a bowl.
- Add the rest of the flours, coconut sugar, spices. salt and mix well. Add oil, molasses and maple syrup and mix well. it will take half a minute for the mixture to start looking wet. Get your hands in there to warm up the molasses and mix well. Add a few tsp non dairy milk if needed to make a crumbly dough. Fill the pie pan with the dough and shape into a crust by pressing with your hands inside out.
For the Filling:
- Mix coconut milk and sugar, starch , chickpea flour in a pan at medium heat. Keep whisking so the sugar and starch dissolves well. Once the sugar has dissolved, add in the pumpkin puree, spices, oil and mix well. Keep stirring with a spatula and bring to somewhat boil. The mixture will keep thickening and some large bubbles will try to escape. 5 to 6 minutes total.
- Continue to stir and cook for another minute or 2. the mixture will visibly thicken and start to leave the pan at some places. You should be able to feel the stiffness in the mixture. Taste carefully and add sugar if needed. Mix in the vanilla and take off heat.
- Let it cool for a minute then pour into the prepared crust. Even it out using a spatula. Let cool for 10 minutes, then refrigerate for a few hours to overnight.
- Top with whipped coconut cream and serve.

This recipe is tasty but needs a couple clarifications- the crust recipe calls for oat flour or other flour, but most flours are not safe to eat raw. If you blend rolled oats into flour, it is safe because the rolling process heats them up enough to kill bacteria, but store bought oat flour is not made from rolled oats so it is not safe.
I baked the crust after pressing it in the pan, at 350 for 10 minutes, to ensure safety and also have a nice toasted flavor. After adding the filling and letting it rest in the fridge overnight it was delicious. (Also- for anyone else thinking of making it, the long rest is absolutely necessary. I did not like the texture of the filling at all when it was warm or even freshly cooled.)
Thank you I will add the flour information on the post
