Ingredients
- 2 cups silken tofu
- 2 cups cooked pumpkin
- 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 7 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp dried ginger
- 1 tsp ground cloves
- 1 tsp allspice
- 2 tsp nutmeg
- 2 vegan pie crusts
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Heat oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Blend Tofu: In a food processor or blender, blend the silken tofu until smooth and creamy, which may take about three to four minutes. Make sure to stop the machine occasionally to scrape down any large pieces of tofu sticking to the sides.
-
Add Pumpkin: Add two heaping cups of cooked pumpkin to the tofu and blend until well combined. Again, stop the machine as needed to scrape down the mixture.
-
Combine Ingredients: Transfer the blended mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add brown sugar, salt, and spices. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined, resulting in a smooth, light orange-colored paste with no lumps of tofu.
-
Fill Pie Crusts: Spoon the pumpkin mixture into two vegan pie crusts, evenly distributing the filling. If desired, top the pies with small bits of crust cut into decorative shapes.
-
Bake: Place the pies in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the crusts are dark brown but not burned. Keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time to ensure they don’t overcook.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove the pies from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy this delicious vegan pumpkin pie as a delightful dessert for any occasion!
