VEGAN PUMPKIN PIE AND CRUST
I got this recipe from vegan.org and I altered the ingredients slightly. I was nervous about the crust because I never work with dough, but my friends said that the crust was actually their favorite part of the pie because it had such a nice, crumbly texture and a delicious, light taste. The filling was awesome. Exactly how I remember "real" pumpkin pie tasting. The freshly ground cinnamon and nutmeg really make the difference, so don't use any pre-ground stuff!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F Set aside a 9" pie plate. In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour and salt. Cut in the oil, drizzling bit by bit and stirring with a fork until all of the oil is added and the flour resembles a coarse meal. Sprinkle the soy milk over the flour, 2 tablespoons at a time, and mix with your hands until you form a solid dough. Be careful not to overwork the dough or to add too much liquid. It should have a drier texture, not moist or soggy.
- Form the dough into a ball and set on a piece of wax or parchment paper. Place another piece of paper on top and roll out the dough into a circle 1-2 inches wider than the pie plate. Remove the top paper and carefully transfer the crust to the plate. Smooth out the sides, trim off extra dough, and crimp the edges of the crust. Poke all over with a fork before placing in the oven. Cook for 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown. Let cool before pouring in the filling.
- To make filling, empty the silken tofu into a food processor and blend until smooth. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until everything is well combined. Pour into the crust and smooth out the top. Bake in a 375F oven for one hour, or until a toothpick comes out almost clean. Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.

VEGAN PUMPKIN PIE
We use a few vegan-friendly stand-ins for this can't-believe-it's-vegan pie. Unrefined coconut oil provides a flaky, buttery texture for the crust, and silken tofu lends creaminess to the filling.

Steps:
- For the crust: Put the flour, sugar, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor, and pulse to combine. Add the coconut oil in small spoonfuls, and pulse until the largest pieces are pea-sized. Add 4 tablespoons ice water, and pulse until evenly combined. Squeeze a handful of the dough together; it should just hold its shape. If the mixture is too powdery, pulse in an additional 1 to 2 tablespoons ice water. Turn the dough out onto a large piece of plastic wrap, pat into a 1/2-inch-thick disc and chill for at least 1 hour up to overnight.
- To make rolling easier, let the dough soften up a bit-it should be slightly soft when pressed-at room temperature (this may take anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes depending on the temperature of your kitchen). Roll the disc into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface or between two pieces of floured parchment paper. If the dough gets too warm, refrigerate it to firm it up. Ease the crust into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold the overhanging dough under itself, and crimp the edge as desired. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line the chilled pie crust with a large coffee filter or foil, and fill with pie weights. Bake until the edges are lightly golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the coffee filter or foil and weights, and continue baking until the crust is lightly golden all over, 15 to 20 minutes more. Transfer to a rack, and let cool completely.
- For the filling: Process the pumpkin puree, tofu, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor until completely smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Pour the filling into the parbaked pie shell, and bake until firm and set, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely on a rack. Chill for at least 2 hours up to overnight. Slice and serve.

Steps:
- In a food processor, mix flour, sugar and salt; pulse in coconut oil until crumbly. Gradually add ice water, pulsing until dough holds together when pressed. Shape into a disk; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 30 minutes or up to 2 hours. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to 9-in. pie plate. Trim crust to ½ in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425°. Line crust with a double thickness of foil. Fill with pie weights, dried beans or uncooked rice. Bake on a lower oven rack until crust is set, about 5 minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake until crust just starts to brown, about 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°. In a blender, combine filling ingredients. Puree until smooth. Pour filling into crust. Bake 45 to 50 minutes, or until center is set and filling is beginning to crack (cover edges with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary). Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate overnight or until set.

Tips:
- Use the right pumpkin. Look for a sugar pumpkin or pie pumpkin, which are smaller and sweeter than other varieties.
- Roast the pumpkin yourself. This gives you more control over the flavor and texture of the pie filling.
- Make sure the pumpkin puree is smooth. Use a food processor or blender to puree the pumpkin until it is completely smooth.
- Don't overmix the pie crust. Overmixing will make the crust tough.
- Chill the pie crust before baking. This will help prevent the crust from shrinking.
- Bake the pie until the filling is set. The pie is done when a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop.
Conclusion:
This vegan pumpkin pie is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for Thanksgiving or any other special occasion. The pie is made with a flaky homemade crust and a creamy, flavorful pumpkin filling. It is also easy to make, so even beginner bakers can enjoy this classic fall treat.
