Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients and prepare your baking equipment.
  2. Combine the vegan graham cracker crumbs, melted vegan butter or coconut oil, and maple syrup in a medium bowl. Mix until it resembles wet sand and press firmly into the pie dish.
  3. Bake the crust for 10 minutes until lightly golden. Let it cool completely.
  4. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the brewed espresso, full-fat coconut milk, almond milk, brown sugar, cornstarch, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook for 8-10 minutes until thickened, then remove from heat.
  6. Pour the warm custard into the cooled pie crust and spread evenly with a spatula.
  7. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set and chilled.
  8. Slice and serve cold, optionally with vegan whipped cream or shaved chocolate.
