Recipe Description
Indulge in the sweet symphony of our Vegan Pecan Pie, a masterpiece of culinary art that perfectly encapsulates the essence of traditional comfort dessert with a compassionate twist. This pie boasts a golden, flaky crust that cradles a lusciously thick, caramel-like filling, generously studded with toasted pecans that offer a delightful crunch with every bite. Infused with the deep, rich flavors of maple syrup and vanilla, each slice is a harmonious blend of textures and tastes, making it an irresistible treat for any occasion. Whether you’re closing a festive meal or simply craving a slice of heaven, this vegan pecan pie promises a guilt-free indulgence that doesn’t compromise on flavor or texture.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (for gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4-6 tablespoons ice water For the Filling:
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups pecans, roughly chopped (plus whole pecans for decoration)
Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add solid coconut oil and use a pastry cutter or fork to blend into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a circle, then transfer to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges as desired.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together maple syrup, brown sugar, cornstarch, almond milk, and coconut oil. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy (about 5 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, salt, and chopped pecans. Pour the filling into the prepared crust, and arrange whole pecans on top for decoration. Bake:
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. If the edges of the crust begin to brown too quickly, cover them with foil.
- Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set before serving.
