Ingredients

pretzel crust

  • 3 cups mini pretzels gluten free if necessary
  • 3 tbsp coconut sugar or granulated sweetener of choice
  • ⅓ cup vegan butter melted

pumpkin pie filling

  • 1 7 oz can sweetened condensed coconut milk Let's Do Organic
  • 1 15 oz can pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup coconut sugar or granulated sweetener
  • ¼ cup tapioca flour (starch) or arrowroot flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ tsp sea salt

topping

  • vegan whipped topping optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Place the pretzels and sugar into a food processor or high performing blender and blend until fine crumbles form. Add in the melted butter and pulse just until combined. Press the pretzel crust into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Place the pan on a piece of tin foil and fold the tin foil over so that it just covers the crust.
  • Rinse the food processor or blender and then add the filling ingredients. Blend until smooth. You may need to stop and scrape the sides as needed.
  • Pour the filling into the crust and use a spatula to smooth the filling to the edges. Bake the pie for 40-50 minutes. The center will still fill jiggily but will set as it cools. Once the pie has cooled, chill it for at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes

This pie is best if served within 48 hours. Store in an air-tight container or gently wrapped in plastic wrap.
