This delicious Chocolate Vegan Pumpkin Pie is delicious, healthier pie for your Thanksgiving table. It is made with silken tofu instead of eggs for a silky smooth dessert. Your guests will love it! You know what it's like, right? You make something super delicious but it has something in it that your friends might think is weird, so you just don't tell them. That's what I was going to do, but I've changed my mind.
Ingredients
The Toasted Oatmeal Crust1 ⅓ cups rolled oats
⅔ cup pecans
¼ cup coconut sugar, can sub brown sugar
⅓ cup coconut oil melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ teaspoon sea salt
The Chocolate Pumpkin Filling15 ounce canned pumpkin
1 ½ cups silken tofu
¼ cup coconut sugar, can sub brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon allspice
¼ teaspoon sea salt
½ – 1 cup dark chocolate chips, melted (1 cup makes a very chocolaty pie)
Method
* Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
* Place the oats and the pecans on a baking sheet and toast them in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, mixing halfway. Remove them from the oven and let them cool.
* While the oats and nuts are cooling, prepare the chocolate vegan pumpkin pie filling. Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend on high until smooth.
* Once the oats and nuts have cooled slightly put them in a food processor and pulse a few times till they are coarsely ground.
* If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the oats and nuts by hand. Pour the ground oats and pecans into a large bowl, add the remaining crust ingredients and mix well
* Pour the oats into a 9-inch pie pan and press them firmly into the pan. Pour the chocolate vegan pumpkin filling into the pan and smooth out the top.
* Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
* Let the pie cool for at least an hour before serving it. It will set as it cools.
