I don’t know about you, but I love a yummy Frozen Pumpkin Pie for a change of pace during the pumpkin season! I have a great Vegan recipe for one that I am sharing. Pillsbury redi-made pie crust is dairy free but not gluten free. I rely upon Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Pie Crust Mix for making my pie crusts. It works wonderfully and tastes great.
This recipe calls for whipped coconut cream. If you have never made it before, it is really easy. Refrigerate 3 cans of full fat coconut milk over night. When you are ready to make the coconut cream, open the cans and use only hardened white cream on top. Pour the clear coconut liquid in a bowl for later use sometime…it’s great in smoothies.
Then take the hardened cream from the 2 cans of coconut cream and whip it just like you would regular cream. I use a bit of vanilla. It is sweet enough that you do not need to add sugar, but you can taste it and sweeten it to your liking. Use this cream to mix with regular plain pumpkin puree. See the directions in the recipe that follows the photos below.

Thanks for the chuckle Amber!! Pumpkin pie can be very UNVegan!! Lots of cream and milk for the pumpkin custard. Then of course the eggs….
