The Wholly Wholesome people sent us pie. Have you tried their vegan pumpkin number? You can get it in the freezer section at Whole Foods.
We brought one home last week. The hardest part was letting it cool. After waiting the minimum length of time we all had a slice and weren't crazy impressed. I mean it was super rad that this product existed, but it was a bit too sweet, not quite spicy enough, and I wished the filling were creamier. But then, pushed to the back of the fridge, I unearthed it for an afternoon snack a few days later and it was delicious. Much like homemade vegan pumpkin pie, the overnight chilling seems to be essential to both the texture and the balance of flavor.
So, if you're looking for the super easy solution to your Thanksgiving dessert, this is the way to go. And I saved a coupon for you. Just leave a comment for a chance to win, but let's make it festive. It's time for a virtual vegan Thanksgiving potluck. I'm bringing the brussels sprouts gratin I made last year - it's so creamy good. What are you bringing?
Let's do this quick so that you can get your pie before next Thursday. From those that bring a virtual vegan dish (links are awesome), I'll pick a comment at random this Thursday, November 17. With such a short contest, your odds of free pie are awfully good!
