Total Time: 50 minutes
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 1 prepared vegan pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
For the filling:
- 1 1/2 cups full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 3/4 cup organic cane sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 2 tbsp vegan butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- First, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish.
- Next, whisk the filling: In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, almond milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt until smooth.
- Then, cook gently: Place the pan over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture thickens into a custard-like consistency.
- After that, remove from heat and stir in vegan butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Now, pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and smooth the top evenly.
- Bake the pie for 30–35 minutes until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
- Finally, cool completely: Let the pie cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.
Tips for Perfect Vegan Sugar Cream Pie

- If needed, chill overnight to achieve cleaner slices.
Variations
- Chocolate version: Add 2 tablespoons cocoa powder to the filling.
- Vanilla bean: Use vanilla bean paste instead of extract for deeper flavor.
- Gluten-free: Use a certified gluten-free vegan pie crust.
