This Vegan Pecan Pie tastes just like the
traditional pie momma-used-to-make, except this pie has a secret ingredient:
cold brew coffee! The cold brew is added to the crust to provide a subtle richness
and coffeehouse aroma that can’t be found in a traditional crust. The sweet pecan filling
is warm, flavorful, and rich. A cup of coffee and a slice of pie and you
have yourself a winning combination that will satisfy any guest at your holiday
table.
Hello, friends.
When I think of
the holidays back home, I think of my families old-as-dirt Christmas tree that
Father had when he was a kid, its flimsy branches holding up the lights and
various handmade ornaments. The wonky treestand at the base holding all of
it together. I think of the whole family coming together, lounging in the living room to watch a Charlie
Brown Christmas, attending candlelight church service on Christmas Eve, and opening
gifts on Christmas morning. The holidays to me are a time where I can get back
in the kitchen with Momma Crawford and bake whatever my little food blogging
heart desires. Her at the stove and me rolling out crust on the counter. We
talk, laugh, sing along to Christmas music, and simply enjoy each other’s
company. For this post, I’m inspired by family tradition once again. In my family,
we always had a pecan pie for dessert after the Christmas dinner. So I’m back
at it again this week with both a vegan AND cold brew coffee inspired recipe,
and this time things are about to get nuts (get
it…nuts…pecans…never mind). I’ve done one other vegan recipe on the blog and I really enjoyed it. That’s why I’m working
with Califia Farms again to develop
this recipe that you wouldn’t even know was vegan.
