Because regular pumpkin pie was getting a little too basic, we went rogue and gave it a much-needed caffeine intervention. Yes, girlfriend. This one’s for every multitasking queen who’s ever whispered, “Pie, but make it espresso.” We’ve blended the cozy nostalgia of fall spices with that life-giving morning ritual—coffee. The result? A bold, rich, sweet-and-sassy dessert that basically screams autumn goddess. Plus, it’s vegan, because dairy just doesn’t deserve a spot in this masterpiece. Now let’s whip out our mixers, preheat that oven, and make the PSL of pies—without the latte part. Let’s bake, darling.
