    Dreamy No-Bake PB Pumpkin Pie

    Nov 17, 2014 • Festive/Holidays, Sweets

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

     Vegan and Gluten-Free 'Dreamy No-Bake Peanut Butter Pumpkin Pie' aka HEAVEN! It's everything you could ever want in a not-so-typical pumpkin pie. Creamy, buttery, and absolutely delicious. A must-have recipe for Thanksgiving! From The Glowing Fridge

     

    I’m still on cloud nine from Friday and the release of The Glow Effect Guide! Let’s just say I was finally able to breathe/sleep/relax/watch tv and do nothing in pajamas alllll weekend 🙂 which I haven’t been able to do in a while. I kinda stopped taking care of myself towards the end and didn’t make time to workout or put myself together so I can’t wait to get back into it and do things like yoga, my nails and just have some me time! There is no better feeling than finishing a huge project that you’ve been working on for months right?! Thank you all for your support!!! I’m already onto thinking about my next project!

    In the midst of the craziness with last minute recipe testing last week (aka procrastination), I managed to create a to-die-for vegan and gluten-free ‘Dreamy No-Bake Peanut Butter Pumpkin Pie’. It’s heavenly, fluffy, creamy, buttery and everything you could ever want in a not-so-typical pumpkin pie. I have no idea why I thought to add peanut butter into the blender when I was making the filling – but I’m pretty sure it was the best idea ever. 

    This is a no-bake pie, but I did purchase a pre-baked gluten-free crust from Whole Foods. This pie can go two ways. After pouring the filling into the crust, I froze the pumpkin pie for about 2 hours and it came out like the picture above; creamy and fluffy-like… kinda messy – but in a good way! After snapping the pictures, I placed the pie back in the freezer overnight and the next day, obviously it was pretty frozen and turned into more of an ice-cream like texture. I prefer the creamy, fluffy-like texture but it’s up to you. Keep that in mind if you want to serve this on Thanksgiving or for a dinner party! Both ways are absolutely delicious and would be even more delicious with coconut whipped cream. It’s easier and cleaner to cut the pie when it’s more frozen, but its whatever you prefer. Sometimes the messier the better, right?!

    Peanut butter and pumpkin are like a match made in heaven. You really can’t mess this one up. I also thought about using a graham cracker crust but I couldn’t find a vegan one.. any recommendations? I could make my own I suppose.

    Pin Recipe

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 15 oz. can pumpkin purée (not the pumpkin pie filling)
    • 1 container (1 pound) organic silken tofu
    • 1/2 cup brown sugar

    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

    Instructions

    2. Meanwhile, in a blender, combine all the ingredients and blend until smooth and creamy. Pour pie filling mixture into the pie and spread out evenly. Top with crushed pecans.
    3. Place in the freezer for 2 hours to get the creamy, fluffy-like texture or for 4-8 hours to get the more frozen ice-cream like texture.
    4. Store leftovers in the freezer.
    5. Enjoy!

      Shannon,

      This looks DELECTABLE!!! I absolutely adore your page and all of your recipes. Do you think I could leave out the almond butter if I just wanted a pumpkin pie? Or would I have to increase the tofu/pumpkin. Lt me know! I can’t wait to try this seasonal treat! 🙂

      This looks great! I’m not a vegan or vegetarian but totally know how getting favorite things/new versions adapted to new eating styles goes. I recently changed to LCHF. I would love to adapt this to something I can eat. Can you provide the amount of tufo and pumpkin you used? Some brands have different sizes. Also, for my cheesecake recipe, I use a alternative to graham cracker crust. It calls for 1 1/2 c almond flour, 3 Tbsp butter and 3 Tbsp sugar. I’m guessing there’s probably a great vegan butter sub that could work.

        Hi Mo,

        Thank you for reminding me to add in the specific amounts for the pumpkin and tofu!! I used a 15 oz. can of pumpkin and 1 pound of organic silken tofu. That’s a great idea for an alternative crust as well! I’ll have to try it 🙂 hope you enjoy!

    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
