This Coffee Caramel Pecan Pie is basically what happens when dessert gets a promotion and starts drinking espresso. It’s sweet, sticky, crunchy, bold, and dramatic—just like you on a Monday morning with good mascara. We infused bold brew into luscious caramel, tossed in crunchy pecans, and said goodbye to dairy like it ghosted us. It’s indulgent, rich, and a little extra, but hey, so are we. This pie slaps harder than your ex’s excuses and brings flavor that doesn’t ask for approval. Vegan, fabulous, and buzzed on caffeine—just how dessert should live. Slice it, flaunt it, serve some sass.
Coffee Caramel Pecan Pie
A rich, gooey, coffee-kissed caramel pecan pie with a flaky crust, sweet crunch, and zero dairy drama. Perfect for any celebration—or breakdown.
Ingredients
Crust (homemade or store-bought):
- 1 vegan pie crust 9-inch, unbaked
Filling:
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- ¾ cup full-fat coconut cream
- ½ cup brewed strong coffee cooled and caffeinated
- ⅔ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Channel your inner pastry goddess.
- Toast pecans in a dry skillet for 4–5 minutes until fragrant. Don’t walk away—they’re drama queens.
- In a saucepan, whisk coconut cream, coffee, brown sugar, maple syrup, coconut oil, cornstarch, vanilla, and salt over medium heat.
- Stir constantly until it thickens into caramel—like, slaps a spoon thick. Takes around 6–8 minutes.
- Remove from heat, fold in the toasted pecans, and whisper sweet things to your future pie.
- Pour the mixture into your crust and smooth the top like a confident selfie angle.
- Bake for 40 minutes. The top should look golden and glossy, like it just got back from a tropical vacation.
- Cool on the counter for an hour, then chill in the fridge for 3 more. Patience, beauty.
- Slice with flair, serve with style, and let your guests worship your pie skills.
