Intro: Vegan Pumpkin Pie

I've been looking for a tofu-free vegan pumpkin pie recipe, and when I came across this one by Bryanna Clark Grogan on www.vegsource.com, I knew I had to give it atry!

One thing she mentions is that it's important to make this pie the day before serving so that it has a chance to set really well.

My main complaint about this recipe is that it uses one and a half cans of pumpkin puree, so it really works better if you make two at once - or, preferably, use freshpumpkin!

Step 1: IngredientsPreheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Pie Crust

1 1/4c. all purpose cups flour1/3 c. non-hydrogenated vegetable shortening3 T. cold water

Pie Filling

2 c. solid-pack canned pumpkin (if you use home-cooked pumpkin, drain it forseveral hours hanging in a cloth bag, so it's thick like canned pumpkin)1 c. non-dairy milk (preferably a rich soymilk)3/4 c. brown sugar or Sucanat1/4 c. cornstarch1 T. molasses or blackstrap molasses1 tsp. ground cinnamon1 tsp. vanilla1/2 tsp. EACH ground ginger, nutmeg and salt1/4 tsp. ground allspice or cloves

Step 2: Make the crust

Using a food processor, pulse together flour and shortening until mixture resembles coarse pea-sized crumbs.

Add water one tablespoon at a time, pulsing after each addition, until dough creates one mass.

Roll out dough on lightly floured surface and place in pie plate. Do not pierce crust with fork.

Step 3: Make the filling

In a food processor, combine all filling ingredients and process until smooth.

After tasting the final pie, I would definitely suggest adding tofu or flour at this step, as the finished result was very similar to eating a can of pumpkin puree with no real body to it!

Step 4: Bake

Bake for 60 minutes, turning halfway through.

Cover the edges of the crust with foil if they start to brown too much.

Let cool and refrigerate overnight before serving.

Enjoy!

Ratatosk says: Nov 14, 2010. 8:31 AM REPInstead of soymilk, I'd suggest using a thick nut-milk. You can buy mimicreme, which is easy and pretty great (it's almonds and cashews, so there areallergen issues) or you can make it yourself. I like to make cashew milk and cook it until it gets really thick, almost a pudding consistency. I use cinnamonsticks and cardamom pods while its simmering. It should add some body and fat to the dish.

You can also try caramelizing the sugar before you put it in. It adds another layer of complexity to the flavor.

scoochmaroo says: Nov 14, 2010. 8:58 AM REPNow those are great suggestions! I was considering using soy creamer instead of soy milk, but it has a distinctive flavor to it that I wasn't sure I wanted.Mimicreme sounds awesome!

gadsden says: Nov 15, 2010. 6:14 AM REPYou could try cornstarch as a thickener. Other vegan thickeners are xanthan gum, guar gum or possibly one of the fiber powders used for "regularity" issues.Some of them get quite jelly-like if allowed to sit for a few minutes. Also, you could try pectin ( made from apples).

Also, try palm sugar if you can find it - usually in Asian food stores.

It's hard to eat anything that doesn't harm anyone, sad to say: Sugarcane cutters have a miserable life (humans are animals too) and sugarcane fields arewhat destroyed the Everglades, habitat of millions of animals; using honey is stealing from bees, etc. But I'm all for veganism.

Great recipe, btw! Go vegans!

(YOUR N says: Nov 25, 2010. 9:59 AM REPthis tastes yummy yum

the_burrito_master says: Nov 14, 2010. 9:00 PM REPIs it truly possible to be a vegan?

edsobo says: Nov 15, 2010. 1:34 PM REPSure is. The overwhelming majority of the items mentioned can be had without the inclusion of random bits of cow and the ones that can't aren't reallynecessary.

Being vegan does involve giving up some things, but to those who do it, it is quite worth the sacrifice.

the_burrito_master says: Nov 15, 2010. 5:30 PM REP"worth the sacrifice", I just ate a jalapeno burger at Applebees, it was delicious! what are you sacrificing to make something else better?

edsobo says: Nov 16, 2010. 6:17 AM REP

I give up the consumption of meat, eggs, milk, cheese and other things that contain animal products, many of which are tasty and convenient.That's the sacrifice.

Who benefits? My health is improved. I've lost weight. I save tons of money from eating out less and buying less processed/manufactured food. Ido more cooking at home, which grants me the opportunity to spend more time with my family. Nobody has to suffer or die for the sake of mymeal. The environment does not have to be damaged from the pollution and waste that go into the production of meat and related products.

In short, everyone, but honestly, I do it for myself. I've never felt better.

Obviously, we have different values, and that's okay. I'm not going to get in anyone's face and tell them what they should or shouldn't eat, just asI wouldn't want someone to do that to me. Just understand that your previous post asked a very direct question - "Is it truly possible to be avegan?" The answer to that question is yes. It's not easy and you can't always have all the things you want, but, as I said, those who do go veganconsider it to be worthwhile.

the_burrito_master says: Nov 16, 2010. 12:39 PM REPWell that's good that your more healthy I wouldn't say that meat is bad for you tho, it's a very good direct source of proteins. I wouldn't worrymuch about the pollution that is made when producing meats, I've been seeing very strange things, namely airplanes leaving behind Hugecontrails. but then seeing another plane go by that doesn't leave so much as a trace (at the same ore close altitude). It's said that thesecontrails are actually poison. you'd have to read about it.

octopuscabbage says: Nov 15, 2010. 2:33 PM REPHow does this taste in comparison?

scoochmaroo says: Nov 15, 2010. 3:23 PM REP

Like I mentioned in one step, I would definitely add some kind of thickener! Otherwise it tastes a lot like spiced pumpkin pudding in a pie shell - not thatthat's a bad thing either!

octopuscabbage says: Nov 15, 2010. 4:44 PM REPHmm, ok.

cowscankill says: Nov 13, 2010. 5:53 PM REPIs there some obsession with vegan foods on Instructables?Looks very tasty, getting me excited for Thanksgiving!

GameV8 says: Nov 14, 2010. 12:13 AM REPDidn't you know that being vegan gives you psychic powers?+10 to whoever gets that. ; )

MrPotatoHead says: Nov 14, 2010. 5:39 AM REPBe carefull, you only have 3 strikes!Scott Pilgrim rocks!

edsobo says: Nov 15, 2010. 1:35 PM REPMy wife and I just about died laughing when that part of the movie came up.

scoochmaroo says: Nov 13, 2010. 6:23 PM REPWe wanted to put together enough projects to produce a Vegan Thanksgiving Guide this year!

edsobo says: Nov 15, 2010. 1:37 PM REPSounds awesome! We're doing our second Vegan Thanksgiving this year. If you have any particular recipes you'd like to see, shoot me a messageand I'll see if I can show you what we do.

scoochmaroo says: Nov 15, 2010. 1:50 PM REPHeck, we wanna see everything you've got!

cowscankill says: Nov 14, 2010. 10:23 AM REPAwesome! I'll tell my vegetarian friends about it

SageMinto says: Nov 14, 2010. 6:36 AM REPThat is so awesome! I will definitely be looking into that as well as making this pumpkin pie. I am not a vegan but I do enjoy eating many vegandishes(especially desserts) because I cannot digest certain foods very well like I used to.Those instructables will be a lifesaver this thanksgiving!

scompton says: Nov 15, 2010. 8:12 AM REPWe make a few of vegan pumpkin pies every year. We usually don't have sugar around the house so we've used applesauce or mashed bananas instead ofsugar. It changes the flavor a bit, but if you're up for something different, banana pumpkin pie is very tasty.

The main reason we eat vegan dishes is because I'm allergic to casein.

Slugger00 says: Nov 14, 2010. 10:05 PM REPWhy did you use soy milk but insist on tofu-free? What's the difference?

Other than that, cheers for making a dairy and egg AND NUT free dish. When my BIL found out at age 11 that he was allergic to all three (well, he wasn'treally, but we thought he was for about six months), Thanksgiving suddenly became MUCH harder! Almost all vegan recipes rely on nuts.

scoochmaroo says: Nov 15, 2010. 7:57 AM REPYeah, I don't have anything against soy, but I just can't get myself to like tofu! (not entirely accurate - I do enjoy a good tofu ricotta in lasagna, but just notin desserts)

dlewisa says: Nov 14, 2010. 12:44 PM REPI don't know much about the vegan diet or philosophy. I understand it has a lot to do with not being cruel to animals and the environment. what I don'tunderstand is why eggs would be a bad thing. if a vegan happened to live in the country and raised chickens in free range cruelty free manner, then why noteat their eggs, the majority of which would probably go to waste anyway without being fertilized?

Planet Vegan says: Nov 14, 2010. 1:47 PM REPFirst off, what you're describing is not the reality for where over 99% eggs come from; they're actually from factory farms which are incredibly cruel and

horrific places. Secondly, even if you were getting eggs in the manner described above, you'd still be participating in non-consensual confinement(haven't seen a small family farm yet without fences), theft (those really aren't *your* eggs), and enslavement (no creature exists to serve us).

But even if the above were not so, It's relevant to note that there is absolutely NO way that you could supply all of the eggs to meet current marketdemand in the scenario you describe and, in fact, having a 'two-tiered' system of egg production creates a demand in those who can't afford/get thosetypes of eggs and actually fuels the factory farm system of cheaply produced eggs.

As for waste, it's well known that chickens will eat their own unfertilized eggs; it's actually good for them (and recommended in many animal sanctuaries)as it helps them to replenish all of the nutrients (think of the calcium alone!) lost in the production of their eggs.

All in all , multiple reasons why we should simply eschew the use of eggs altogether in favour of healthier, cruelty-free, and, in the end, more affordable(both from a pocketbook and planetary standpoint) plant based sources.

Slugger00 says: Nov 14, 2010. 10:25 PM REP1) Plant-based sources are not necessarily healthier for the environment. Factory farms are factory farms, no matter what they produce. Food thathas to be transported long distances is horribly environmentally destructive, no matter what the food is. You want healthy for the environment, goLOCAL. Localvore is healthier for you, the environment, and the economy than pretty much any other solution. And yes, I would be happy to back

that up with stats if you'd like.2) How is taking eggs theft but taking pumpkins not? Just because you can't see where the brain is housed means it is okay to kill the offspring in oneliving creature but not another?

3) I don't bleeding care where 99% of the eggs come from. If MY eggs come from the chickens on MY land who are fed by the grain grown on MYland (okay, okay, my neighbor's land, to be precise), then they are happy chickens. And trust me, the little rotters are VERY happy chickens. Yes,they are cooped at night - because I'm not terribly interested in feeding the local fox, coyote, and bear populations. Given that they are almost alwaysin their roosts and asleep before I shut the gate, I don't think they have a problem with it, either.

I'll quit there. Be kind to all living creatures, even the human ones. :)

Planet Vegan says: Nov 15, 2010. 5:51 AM REP1) Plant-based sources of food ARE better for the environment provided that you're not then taking them and feeding them to non-humyn animalsso that humyns can then eat them (or their eggs, milk, etc...). The environmental problem comes in when you look at the fact that over 80% ofcrops being grown today are used in the animal agriculture industry. This while millions of humyns starve to death, I might add. Locally producedis definitely better than imported food but, when that locally produced food is animal based AND you presume that you're going to try to feed

everyone within that local 'zone' with it, then the numbers quickly show how completely unworkable that is. This is why the animal factory farmingindustry exists.

2) This is such a silly argument to make and barely merits response but, here goes. Pumpkins do not have brains. They also lack central nervoussystems. Neither do they 'belong' to someone else. In fact, being a fruit, pumpkins (and all other fruits) evolved a system of seed propagationthat, for the most part, depends on other beings eating, and then excreting, their seeds. Chickens do not benefit in any way from having theireggs consumed. In fact, were it not for the reason of humyns wishing to consume both eggs and flesh of chickens, they would not have to sufferconfinement (as the very least of the indignities visited upon them).

3) In the southern U.S., prior to the civil war (and in various parts of the world still today), it was also the norm for humyn slaves (both field andhouse) to willingly make their way to their beds or "their roosts", so to speak, without any cajoling from their 'master'. And they weren't shut in byany gate either. Should we presume from their behaviour(s) that they didn't/don't "have a problem with it"?

"Be kind to all living creatures". I concur. That's why I'm vegan. :)))

monictard says: Nov 15, 2010. 12:51 AM REPThanks for the fantastic recipe! I am a fan of vegan dishes.

axegrrl says: Nov 14, 2010. 9:23 PM REPInstead of the thick pastry crust, we use just a dusting of graham cracker crumbs. First, grease the baking pan enough for the crumbs to stick. Then add afew tablespoons of crumbs to the pan. Tilt the pan until the bottom and sides are well-covered in crumbs. Pour the filling in on top of the crumbs and bake. Alot less work and a lot less fat and carbs!

shizumadrive says: Nov 14, 2010. 8:51 AM REPReplace the pumpkin with butternut squash for a much better pie.

And Id try a graham cracker crust it has a lot more vegan friendly items so you only need to replace the butter.* 1 1/2 cups finely ground graham cracker crumbs* 1/3 cup white sugar* 6 tablespoons butter, melted* 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

lazemaple says: Nov 14, 2010. 7:45 AM REPThe hallmark of an excellent pumpkin pie is the little bit of moisture on top near the center. Many older folk won't even consider eating a pumpkin pie that isdry on top so try using fresh pumkin WITHOUT draining it! I never do, nor is it necessary if you cook the pumpkin properly and use the small pumpkins grownespecially for pies.Usually cream is used in a traditional p pie so when using soy or rice milk I'd suggest adding a bit of fat somehow to the recipe as well for that extra rich silkysmooth texture.

Screamo says: Nov 14, 2010. 2:24 AM REPVegan's cant eat PUMPKIn?

MrPotatoHead says: Nov 14, 2010. 6:19 AM REPI believe its because in most pumpkin pie there's dairy (and they don't eat/drink anything related to an animal)...
