PUMPKIN PECAN PIE

10 October 2019 by Lisette Kreischer Leave a Comment

This cake holds the middle between pumpkin pie, cheese cake and pecan pie. Super-duper tasty. Serve with vegan whipped cream and maple-butter sauce for extra indulgence.

INGREDIENTS

Pumpkin pecan pie
300 g graham crackers or digestive biscuits
125 g plant based butter for baking
450 g pumpkin (hokkaido or butternut), peeled and cubed
21 cm Ø pie mold with high edge or a ‘normal’ 24 cm Ø pie mold – use one with a loose bottom
250 ml vegan whipping cream (very important that you use vegan whipping cream that can form stiff peaks)
150 g sugar
juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tsp vanilla extract
85 g cornstarch or vegan custard powder
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp pumpkin spice or mixed cookie spices
1 cup coconut, soy or oat milk
50 g coconut oil, melted
100 g pecans

Sauce
50 ml maple syrup
50 g plant based butter (take the most buttery one you can find!)

Whipped cream
250 ml whipping cream
2 tsp lemon juice
zest of 1/2 lemon
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS

Pumpkin pecan pie
Preheat oven to 165 C / 330 F.

Cook or steam pumpkin until soft ca. 15 minutes. Drain and cool down a bit.
In the meantime crumble cookies into fine crumbs with the aid of a roller pin, glass, or food processor. Melt butter and mix with crumbs. Press into a pie a mold and make sure you also press the cookies onto the edges of the mold. Keep in fridge until you’re ready to fill up.

Prepare the whipped cream. Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to whisk the cream and whisk it with 50 g sugar, lemon juice and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

Puree pumpkin and add rest of the sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, spice mix, coconut milk and coconut oil until a smooth consistency. Fold in the whipped cream. Put mixture in the prepared cookie crust. Arrange pecans on top. Bake for ca. 1 hour. Let cool down.

Sauce
On low heat, melt butter into maple syrup while constantly whisking, until it’s just melted and combined. If you’re doing it right the sauce will emulsify.

Whipped cream
Put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix with a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.

To serve
Remove the pie from the mold. When using a loose bottom you don’t have to remove this part. Cut into pieces. Serve a piece with maple caramel sauce and whipped cream.


POMPOEN & PECAN TAART

Deze taart houdt het midden tussen pumpkin pie, cheese cake en pecan pie. Mega lekker. Serveer m decadent met ahorn-karamelsaus en vegan slagroom.

INGREDIENTEN

Pompoen & pecan taart
300 g digestive koekjes
125 g plantaardige bakboter
450 g pompoen (hokkaido of flespompoen), geschild en in blokjes
taartvorm met losse bodem van 21 cm Ø  met hoge rand of een ‘normale’ van 24 cm Ø
250 ml vegan slagroom (beste werkt Alpro, een van de weinige vegan slagrooms die echt stijve pieken kan vormen wat belangrijk is in dit recept)
150 g suiker
sap van 1/2 citroen
1 zakje bourbon vanillesuiker
85 g maizena of custardpoeder
1/2 tl bakpoeder
1 tl speculaaskruiden
250 ml kokos- haver- of sojamelk
50 g kokosolie, gesmolten
100 g pecannoten

Saus
50 ml ahornsiroop
50 g plantaardige boter (neem de lekkerste boterigste vegan boter die je kunt vinden!)

Slagroom
250 ml slagroom
2 tl citroensap
zest van 1/2 citroen
1 el suiker
1 zakje bourbon vanillesuiker

BEREIDINGSWIJZE

Pompoen & pecan taart
Verwarm de oven op 165 graden C.
Kook of stoom pompoen gaar in ongeveer 15 minuten. Laat uitlekken en wat afkoelen.

Maal ondertussen koekjes fijn. Smelt boter en voeg aan de koekjes toe. Druk het mengsel in taarvorm en zet tot gebruik in koelkast.

Klop vervolgens slagroom stijf met 50 g suiker, citroensap en vanillesuiker.

Pureer de pompoen en voeg maizena, bakpoeder, speculaaskruiden, kokosmelk en -olie toe. Zorg dat er mooi glad beslag ontstaat. Spatel de slagroom door het pompoenmengsel, probeer daarbij zoveel mogelijk luchtigheid te bewaren. Giet het mengsel over de koekjes bodem en schik de pecans erop. Bak ca. 1 uur. Haal uit de oven en laat afkoelen.

Saus
Smelt boter in ahornsiroop op zeer laag vuur, onder voortdurend kloppen met een garde. Als je het goed doet ontstaat er een mooie emulsie.

Slagroom
Doe alle ingrediënten in een kom en klop op tot stijve pieken.

Om te serveren
Verwijder de taart uit de vorm. Wanneer je een losse bodem hebt, hoef je de bodem niet te verwijderen. Snijd de taart in punten. Serveer een stuk taart met de ahorn-karamel saus en slagroom.

Presenting a killer kitchen for which NO ONE has to be killed and EVERYONE gains!

We have a new cookbook 🔥 Written for Sam and he We have a new cookbook 🔥
Written for Sam and her pig companions @mymomsam. Because with the arrival of spring, we can almost smell the roasted coals again and what mostly lies on the grill above; the creatures that wanted so much to live. And that lights the fire in our hearts and gets us going. So Maartje pulled out her knives and Lisette her camera to fill the pages of... VLAM IN DE PLANT (Veg on fire). A happy book with an activist touch rich with delicious plant based recipes, a beautiful foreword by @karensoeters and an ode to dear Sam.

We discovered the cuisine of plants years ago and have been vegan for the animals for more than 38 years combined. It was a wonderful bonus that this way of life also turned out to be a lot better for the earth and ourselves. What we did not immediately expect was that this cuisine brought us huge taste explosions! We became big and strong on the power of plants and seduced and enticed by those wonderful flavours and textures. Meanwhile, we feel it is our mission to bring out the potential of this cuisine.

The popularity of BBQ has been skyrocketing for years and we felt it was time to once and for all say bye bye to the for many, boring image of veggies and take plants to great heights by putting them on fire. The plant based kitchen deserves the spotlight. And the BBQ is a great tool to make vegetables incredibly flavoursome. By cooking veg on the BBQ with the right spices, you enrich your kitchen with insane flavours and contribute to less suffering at the same time. So be tempted and seduced by the abundance of vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, mushrooms, weeds, fruits and herbs and fire up those plants.

Available to order now at all (online) bookstores in The Netherlands, via link in bio and @maartjeborst.

Vlam in de Plant could not have come about without Pig Sam, Karen Soeters, Stichting Melief, House of Animals, Diewertje van Wering and, of course, Kosmos Publishers. We are extremely grateful to all of them. ❤️🔥🙏🏼

FISH-FREE MEDITERRANEAN ORZO This delicious orzo FISH-FREE MEDITERRANEAN ORZO

This delicious orzo dish with roasted vegetables takes little time to make and is bursting with flavour. The tuna-like flavour of @goodcatchfoods Fish Free Tuna by our friend @dereksarno goes well with savoury flavour bombs like olives and capers, and the creamy orzo provides an excellent stage for this goodness.

Hungry already? Recipe now up on the blog (link in bio).

Ok ok, it might be raining tofu & beans here in Th Ok ok, it might be raining tofu & beans here in The Netherlands, so maybe it is not the best time to fire up that BBQ and start roasting the hell out of those veggies. But we pray for sunshine and when that sun starts shining tofu, seitan, tempeh and mushrooms will hit a bowl of marinade and will be roasted like there is no tomorrow.

The time we've all been waiting for is finally her The time we've all been waiting for is finally here. The summer family BBQ! The best time for a good toast under the sun, and a tasty roast too! Roasted tempeh and grilled tofu topped with tasty sauces are the perfect ingredients to set the summer vibes we’ve been looking forward to.

And yes, you read right. In the family summer BBQ we imagine, animals are more than welcome to attend as long as they are enjoying the moment with us, and not there as a sacrifice for us.

Sam and her family would be the first to say thanks for leaving meat behind this summer - and hopefully forever more! Sam is a mother of 251 piglets, of which only 9 are here today due to the industry. She became one of the lucky ones in February 2021 when she was rescued while pregnant with her little ones by @meliefanimalsanctuary. In wanting to show the spirit of those behind the isolated walls of the meat industry, House of Animals will be launching a documentary about Sam’s story and those of her piglets in 2022.

This summer and all days to come, let’s honor Sam and all the souls we’ve lost as a result of the industry by eating plant-based, succulent BBQs! Inspired by Sam’s story, House of Animals created a recipe book with the help of us, @maartjeborst and @lisettekreischer, which will make your summer glimmer with taste, rich flavors and joy. Download it for free on the website @mymomsam (link in our bio).

SUNNY SIDES UP Drum rolls, please! FAMILY.EAT.PL SUNNY SIDES UP

Drum rolls, please!

FAMILY.EAT.PLANT. has hit planet Earth and here is the first recipe to go online! And certainly not the least! Yes, we know, what you see here in the pic looks suspiciously like a sandwich with sunny-side-up eggs. But none of that!

What you see are peaches (or apricots) with a cheesy sauce. Maartje’s father used to make this recipe often on the weekend. Super easy, super yummy.

You can keep it plain and simple by just making the cheesy sauce, and prep the toast with the sauce and peaches, or you can go wild and throw some slices of vegan ham on there.

Recipe now up on the blog (link in bio).
