It’s time for sweet pie, Christmas is around the corner, and all I want on my Christmas dessert table is a gorgeous pie, like my Vegan Pecan Pie, Vegan Strawberry Pie, or Vegan Pumpkin Pie. So I decided to make give vegan twist to the classic blueberry pie. The classic blueberry pie is not vegan because its crust contains butter, and often the blueberry filling is also topped with dollops of butter. So let see how you can make a plant-based blueberry pie this winter.
Ingredients and Substitutions
All you need to make a pie is a pie crust. You can use one of each recipe below:
Vegan Pie Crust – you can use this recipe with a gluten-free flour blend. The crust is mainly using vegan butter. Use my recipe below for a coconut oil version. Vegan Gluten-free Pie Crust – this one doesn’t lattice as well, so I usually prefer my classic vegan pie crust for lattice pies.
For the blueberry filling, this is what you need:
Fresh or Frozen Blueberries – if your blueberries are frozen, thaw the blueberries before using them in the recipe, or they release too much water in the pie. Lemon Juice – or lime juice. Fresh or bottled work the same. Cinnamon – For flavor. Cornstarch or Cornflour – To improve the consistency of the filling. Coconut Sugar – Or any granulated sugar you love like brown sugar, white sugar, or erythritol for a sugar-free pie.
How To Make Vegan Blueberry Pie
It takes a little bit of time to make pies, and that’s why I usually make my vegan blueberry bars as a quick swap to this pie. But during the Christmas season, there’s nothing more beautiful and heart-warming than a sweet blueberry pie. So let’s bake this delicious dairy-free blueberry pie together and enjoy a treat this winter.
Serving
This vegan blueberry pie is better served from the pie dish. Unfortunately, it means you will not easily transfer the pie onto a serving dish. If you want to unmold this pie, use a removable bottom pie pan instead of a pie dish. Serve the pie plain or with some of the delicious vegan toppings below:
A scoop of plant-based vanilla ice cream. Coconut whipped cream or Vegan Whipped Cream Vegan vanilla frosting Vegan yogurt you love like coconut yogurt.
Storage
This vegan pie with blueberries stores very well in its own pie pan in the fridge. Wrap the top of the pan with plastic film wrap and keep up to 4 days. Otherwise, freeze the pie whole or in slices and thaw them in the fridge the day before.
