I baked a tofu pumpkin pie the other day for Thanksgiving, and it turned out pretty awesome. I used the recipe from vegweb.com that I used one time before. I’ve only tried one other vegan pumpkin pie recipe, so I can’t compare it to any others, but this one just tastes really amazing- just like any regular pumpkin pie. You can’t even tell that there’s tofu in it, it’s quite incredible.
For the crust, I used this recipe from vegweb.com. The crust came out a bit harder than I wanted, but it was still pretty good. I have yet to find my perfect crust recipe- if anyone has a good recipe, lemme know~
I also tried making cashew cream for the very first time! I had some leftover raw cashews that I had brought with me from the US, so I soaked those overnight, whizzed them in a blender with some water, agave syrup, and vanilla extract. It was the perfect complement to the pie. Nom nom~

For pie crusts, I use the Cooks Illustrated vodka pie crust recipe. It is hands down the flakiest crust ever. I also flavor the water heavily with salt and sugar before I ice the water. It gives extra flavor and browning power.
