Vegan Pecan Pie

VEGAN PECAN PIE

I’m actually really terrible at baking anything other than cookies and cake. Pies, breads, pastries…or anything that I need to knead or roll, I’m just terrible at it. I know it just takes practice, but I can never get the perfectly even and beautifully crimped pie crusts. Or that perfect, super flaky and melt-in-your-mouth pie crust? Not my forte. I’m more of a throw-it-in-a-bowl-give-it-a-stir-then-divide-between-cupcake-liners kind of girl. That’s my jam.

VEGAN PECAN PIE Pie Crust

But you know what? I’m way more of a pie person than I am a cake person. Back when I was in high school, I played Maplestory [YEAH THAT’S RIGHT],Β and the GMs divided everyone into Team Cake or Team Pie. HOW DO YOU CHOOSE? CAKE OR PIE?! I got sorted into Team Pie and I was devastated.
Toasting Pecans with Cinnamon-wI longed to have the little cute cake sign float over my head. I thought the pink frosting and red cherry on top were so pretty and way nicer than pie. Plus I was a firm believer that cake was way better. How could you go wrong with frosting?

VEGAN PECAN PIE

But I was naive. Pie, oh pie. I apologize for any flack I gave you. You are clearly the superior choice. The perfectly flaky crust, the sweet and gooey filling… ranging from sweet, to creamy, to fluffy and light as a dream. But cake? Cake is always sponge plus frosting. Sometimes sponge plus ganache and frosting. But fresh fruit, spices, and pie crust and fillings galore. That’s the way to be.

The Maplestory Gods knew I was really Team Pie all along.

VEGAN PECAN PIE

To celebrate EPIC PI DAY (3.14.15!!!), obviously I made a pie. I was determined to make a good, vegan pecan pie with no corn syrup or tofu, but was still thick and gooey with caramelized deliciousness. I based my recipe loosely on Hell Yeah, It’s Vegan! and Vegetarian Snob. I was so intrigued that HYIV’s recipe used salted crackers! I thought, oh my god, that’s such a good idea. It acts as a filler and adds body to the recipe while contributing an undertone of saltiness. My friends had no idea there were crackers in it, either. Just try it, it’ll be good. PROMISE.

Anyway, my other blogger friends made Pi Day recipes too. Go check em out! They’re not vegan, but they’re pretty nonetheless. I will love unconditionally anyone who makes me a vegan lemon meringue pie.

Vegan Pecan Pie

Vegan Pecan Pie
Prep Time 2 hours
Cook Time 55 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 55 minutes

Ingredients

For the pie crust:

  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) vegan buttery sticks, cold and cut into cubes
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) vegan shortening), cold and cut into cubes
  • 3 cups all purpose flour + flour for rolling
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp white sugar
  • 10 tbsp (150 mL) ice water
  • OR
  • Try my new, favourite fool-proof pie crust recipe

For the filling

  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup pecan halves
  • 1 cup pecans pieces (Or you can have all halves, toast together and then separate later to chop)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter
  • 2 tbsp flax meal + 6 tbsp warm water
  • 10 salted top crackers, crushed
  • 1 heaping tbsp flour
  • 1 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

For the pie crust:

  1. In a food processor (or if you don't have one of those, a large mixing bowl and a pastry knife), blitz butter, shortening, sugar, flour, and salt until the butter and shortening is about pea sized. Pour in ice water and mix until just combined. Transfer to a clean countertop and divide into two equal pieces. Shape into discs and wrap with plastic wrap. Let chill in the fridge for at least an hour.*
  2. Once chilled, remove from fridge and roll out until 1/4 inch thick and it fits your pie pan. Wrap your rolling pin with the pie crust to easily roll it out over the pie pan.
  3. Gently shape the pie crust to meet the crevices of the pie pan. Use a knife to trim the edges of the pie crust, then crimp the sides or leave as is. Use a fork to poke holes all along the bottom to prevent bubbles. Cover the edges of the crust with aluminum foil to prevent burning the edges. Bake at 325ºF for about 10 minutes. The crust will shrink a little bit, depending on your pan, so give it about 1/2 inch to an inch to shrink down to. Remove from oven and set aside.

To make the filling:

  1. Preheat oven to 325ºF.
  2. In a skillet, melt coconut oil over medium heat. Toss pecans into the pan and stir until lightly coated in oil. Sprinkle cinnamon on top and continue stirring until pecans are fragrant and lightly toasted (about 3-4 minutes). Watch carefully and stir constantly because they burn really quickly. Remove from pan and set aside to cool. Roughly chop pecans once cooled. You can reserve about 1/2 cup of them whole to leave on top for decoration.
  3. In a small bowl, mix flax meal and warm water and let sit until thickened and gelled (about 5 minutes).
  4. In a small pot, combine white sugar, maple syrup, butter, flax mixture, crackers, flour, and pecan pieces and stir over medium low heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture is fairly thick (about 5 minutes). Turn off heat, stir in vanilla extract, and transfer to par-baked pie shell. Arrange pecan halves on top as desired. If you can, submerge them in the sugar syrup a little bit so that the pecan halves are protected from burning. I didn't do it when I shot this photo, so obviously its fine if you don't, but I prefer the taste of them when they're not darkened like this XD
  5. Keep edge of pie protected with aluminum foil, and bake for about 30-40 minutes. Remove aluminum foil from edges and continue to bake until edges are golden and the pie filling is mostly set but a little jiggly in the middle when you gently shake the pie—about another 10-15 minutes.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack. It's best to let it sit until slightly warmed or completely cool before serving. Cut and enjoy!

Notes

*This recipe makes two pie crusts (or a top and a bottom), so you have another pie crust for later, or you can double the filling recipe and make two pecan pies.

    I am definitely right alongside you on Team Pie. Cake is fine, but I am rarely blown away by cake. For all of the reasons you mention, pie wins, hands down. Your pecan pie sounds terrific! I could definitely go for a slice of that.

      Hi Jeffrey,

      The salted crackers kind of act like a binding agent and add a little salt content. You can leave them out, but I don’t know how it would work in a large pie form. I didn’t use them in my adapted version of these butter tarts.

    Can you use premade frozen crusts? I would love to try this – I haven’t had pecan pie since becoming vegan over 30 years ago! But, I HATE MAKING CRUSTS! Please help! Looking forward to something other than pumpkin and blueberry pies this year!

      I totally get you with the crust thing. This can for sure be made with a frozen crust, I think you just need to prebake it as written in the instructions on the package. But if you ever feel like making an easy, vegan crust and you have a food processor, try my new favourite pie crust recipe.

    We will DEFINITELY be using this for Thanksgiving this year!! Also, I read your blurb about a vegan lemon meringue pie. You may want to try using aquafaba (the water from a can of chickpeas!!) to make your meringue. It also makes a fabulous chocolate mousse! :)

    Hi Lisa!
    I am so excited to try out this recipe today! However when I got home I realized I forgot to get flax meal ? I know it is used as an egg replacement in this, and I’m trying to find an alternative so that I dont have to go back to the store. I’ve found a couple of options but do you have any thoughts? Is the flax meal in this mostly a binder? Thank you much!

    Your directions don’t state specifically when to put the pecan halves on top. Do you do that before you put it in the oven or part way through baking? I’ve been slowing making the switch to cleaner eating so I am needing a healthier version of my extremely unheathy pecan pie that everyone expects at Thanksgiving and this one sounds delish!

    Reply
    • Lisa Le says

      November 7, 2016 at 12:39 AM

      I put them in just before putting them in the oven, but in retrospect, I would have poured the filling on top of them because they got a little toasty since they were unprotected on top. I hope you like this recipe!

    I made this pie this weekend for a friend’s request for their birthday dessert, and it was amazing! My very first attempt at making pie, which has made me hesitant for years, but was relieved at how easy this was. I did use the crust recipe with the pie, and it wasn’t soggy at all, it was nice and flaky, and browned up nicely – all parties loved it.

    Thank you so much! :)

    Is it possible to cook the filling ahead of time to bake a few hours later? Or does everything have to be done all at once? I had a huge spill in my oven from dinner, and a plume of smoke came out when I preheated it. So now, my oven is unusable, and was hoping ti use my mom’s in the morning.

    Wow, I can’t tell you how incredibly impressed I am with the recipe! Coming from queen of bad at baking vegan deserts, this came out sooooo good! I made it today for thanksgiving as a last minute request of my boyfriends daughter. I had little to no faith in myself but this recipe was virtually effortless. I did use pre-made pie crust (accidentally vegan). So it was super duper easy. AND my bf’s non vegan daughter absolutely loved it and ate two slices! She ate two bites of the rest of the vegan feast I made, so eating two whole slices of my pie was literally a huge win.

    Also, p.s. I’m mega obsessed with your content!

[AD] Tis the season for finger food and delicious bites! So many vegan charcuteries tend to be nut-heavy, but for those who are allergic to many things like me, you might enjoy this pizza snack board I created for @whollyveggie with some marinated mushrooms (recipe on the blog), fresh veggies, and olives, and vegan salami to snack on, with pizza sauce to dunk in!
πŸ•
I used the Classic Cheese, Margherita pizzas, and Naked Cauliflower Crust that are frozen and delicious for a snack board. I honestly kind of forgot that they were gluten-free because I love a nice, crisp thin crust and this was tender enough to yield a nice, chewy bite while being golden and crisp!
πŸ•
Find the recipe on my blog, deets on your closest Wholly Veggy retailer on their website, and please tag me and @whollyveggie in your homemade pizza snack boards! I'd love to see how you customize yours :)

Feeling like I got my mojo back! Also coincidentally my cycle ended, so maybe that had something to do with this week of super low energy and negativity πŸ˜‚β£οΈπŸ˜­Today I cleaned out the fridge, treated myself to a schnickers square from @covenhamilton and made some Instant Pot phở because Eddie's been missing @saigonlotustoronto and we haven't been able to go all year (for obvious reasons).You can find the recipe on the blog. I'll put a swipe up link since the link in bio sometimes take a second to populate, or you can use the search bar at the top of my blog!

A lot of you are celebrating Thanksgiving today, and while this Instant Pot red curry lentil and potato stew is not a Thanksgiving recipe, I wish you all the best this weekend and kindly remind you that Thanksgiving has a lot of colonial, traumatic and genocidal origins of Indigenous peoples across North America.
πŸ‚
Eddie loves Thanksgiving food (I mostly like stuffing/dressing and mashed potatoes haha) so I understand that nostalgia and love for Thanksgiving fare, but I hope you also take this time to continue your education in Indigenous history, culture and how the exploitation and trauma still affects Indigenous cultures and peoples today.
πŸ‚
I always worry I'm being like a bummer to remind you of this year after year, but I'm on my own journey of education and unlearning the history we were erroneously taught and all the convenient gaps that didn't tell the whole story. We are all unlearning together.
πŸ‚
And while it is important to learn about the heavy history, I also implore you to appreciate and support Indigenous art and cultures. I recently finished reading Son of a Trickster by Eden Robinson and I have many more books by Indigenous authors on my to-read list!
πŸ‚
Enjoy the time with your loved ones (hopefully very safely, and hopefully you've quarantined before seeing each other). It can be hard to deny our families who have varying levels of concern, but know that the precautions you take now show the people you love and the communities we're in how much you care. Virtual celebrations aren't quite the same but are a nice stand-in for being alone.

I feel like it's no suprise to anyone that my favourite colour is green and that this green ramen is an herbaceous, vibrant way to eat your greens!
πŸ’š
PLUS I use peas in the sauce to add some lean, green protein so you don't feel hungry again in 20 minutes like you would if you just ate a pack of instant noodles πŸ˜‚

Recipe is linked in the bio, although it might take a sec to repopulate but it's also in my Asian recipe highlight (although it's not really Asian... it's just green saucy noods but my regular recipe highlight is getting too long πŸ˜…)

Inari pockets with vegan crab salad from my last hiking vlog πŸ±πŸŒ³πŸ‚ some of y'all might remember that this package of tofu pockets was similar to the package I have bought before and I realized too late that they had clam and oyster extract in the seasoning.
🍁
Because I was going on a hike with a few omnis, I figured it was worth just using it anyway to feed them so it didn't go to waste, and that way Eddie and I didn't have to eat it all on our own. This dilemma can be controversial, and I've had people (well, one persistent person) hate on me for drinking a can of Arizona Iced Tea after I bought it and realized too late that it had honey in it.
🍁
Y'all, being vegan is point blank a privilege. Choosing what to eat, being informed enough to want to choose vegan, having access to fruits and vegetables that don't cost $$$$, having time to cook, having the time to LEARN how to cook, it is all overlapping privileges that enable any of us to eat vegan. Throwing food away because of a mistake you made even though it is perfectly edible is not helping the animals (and it is so wasteful!)
πŸ‚
Obviously in this case, it was just extract and not actually pieces of meat, dairy, or egg, so it was easier for me to eat it without trying to think about it. And honestly, I'm unsure if I would be able to eat anything non-vegan without getting sick (because I got hives after eating the tofu pockets πŸ™ƒ), but it's nuanced and eating a non-vegan product you bought by accident doesn't make you a bad person. It doesn't discount your veganism. You simply learn from it and keep trucking on.
🍁
Anyway, I explain this in the video but have a watch it you want to see how I made the inari and the beautiful trees on the hike 😁#thevietvegan #thevietveganrecipes https://youtu.be/aBY97WhZCw4 #inarisushi #whatveganseat

I've been eating this nearly every day for the past four days πŸ˜‚ bΓ‘nh hỏi thα»‹t nΖ°α»›ng chay! I've been meaning to develop a nem nΖ°α»›ng chay recipe to go along with this but this week was not the week haha.
πŸ₯—
Did anyone else grow up eating platters upon platters of bΓ‘nh hỏi at long weekend parties and family gatherings? I swear these take up less space in my body than actual noodles because I can always eat an alarming amount πŸ˜‚

Check out the new video on YT and the recipe on my blog, swipe up links in my stories!
