Gluten-free and Vegan Pumpkin Pie

November 15, 2012 by Cara

 

For the past several birthdays, it has become a tradition that I always ask for a pumpkin pie to celebrate instead of the traditional birthday cake just because it’s that time of year to get them…and I love me some pumpkin pie.

So today is no different.

I bring to you a Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie that is gluten, egg and dairy-free…but for me, this is my birthday cake. Happy 34th to me 🙂

Mini Pumpkin Pie Recipe

Gluten, egg, soy, and dairy-free

Makes 4 individual pies

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 can pumpkin
  • ½ c. cashews (soaked 1 hour)
  • ½ c. rice milk (plus more for blending)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch nutmeg
  • 3 Tb brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • My gf crust (use ½ batch)

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat the oven at 350 degrees.
  2. Prepare gluten-free crust as recipe suggests.
  3. Line 4 individual mini pie pans with crust. If the crust begins to tear, no worries, it is easy to press back together with your hands.
  4. In a blender, mix cashews and milk until smooth.
  5. Add pumpkin, sugar, cornstarch, and spices and blend. If you are having troubles getting it to blend, use more non-dairy milk by the tablespoon-full just until it begins to nicely blend.
  6. Pour filling into each pie pan.
  7. Bake for 25-30 min.

    I can’t believe I missed your birthday! I’m such a ratbag! If it makes you feel any better, your still one year younger than I am! Happy Birthday girlfriend! I think I love pumpkin pie as much as you do! Oh, and I finally made “Cara’s gluten free flour mix” It’s the BOMB! I made a gluten free chocolate cake for a friend with celiac, no one could tell it was GF!! Woot!

      Better late than never, is my motto. And I am usually late myself so it’s all good 🙂 Thank you!
      And I am sooooo thrilled to hear that the GF mix worked wonderfully. Makes me all giddy!

    Happy belated birthday! If my birthday was in the Fall, I would totally ask for pumpkin pie instead of cake too! Both the crust and filling of this one look so good – that leaf looks like a shortbread cookie..mmm

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I love that you have pie for your birthday! I will have to try your pie pastry because I have been having a hard time finding a GF one that is not tough as nails! If you want, check out the pie crust I made for my vegan, GF pumpkin pie…it was dangerously good. I hope you have an awesome birthday and are feeling better! Have a great party!
