Tofu Pumpkin Pie is a smooth, custardy, and completely dairy-free twist on the classic pumpkin dessert. Made with silken tofu, warm fall spices, and a flaky pre-baked crust, this vegan pumpkin pie is creamy, rich, and perfectly spiced — yet entirely egg-free and lactose-free. It’s wholesome, high in plant-based protein, and a must-have for your holiday table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (12 oz) block silken tofu, drained
  • 1 (15 oz) can pure pumpkin purée
  • ¾ cup (150g) brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon cloves
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot powder
  • 1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • Optional Toppings:
  • Coconut whipped cream
  • Toasted pecans or walnuts
  • Maple syrup drizzle or silken tofu frosting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Pre-bake your pie crust for 10 minutes if using store-bought to ensure crispness.
  2. Combine silken tofu, pumpkin purée, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, salt, and vanilla in a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour the blended mixture into the pre-baked crust, smoothing the top evenly with a spatula.
  4. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center still jiggles slightly. The pie will firm up as it cools.
  5. Let the pie cool for 1 hour at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before slicing.
  6. Garnish with coconut whipped cream, toasted nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup before serving.

Notes

  • Use silken tofu for the best creamy texture—avoid firm tofu.
  • Blend thoroughly to remove any lumps for a smooth custard finish.
  • Pre-bake the crust to prevent sogginess.
  • Chill completely before slicing for clean, firm pieces.
  • Try variations with chocolate, maple pecan topping, or coconut cream swirl.
