Equipment

Ingredients

Pie Crust Topping

  • 1 sheet puff pastry or pie dough (premade)
  • 1 tbsp dairy free butter melted
  • 1 tbsp turbinado sugar

Pumpkin Pie Matcha

  • 7 oz milk
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin purée
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp pumpkin spice (ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Dairy Free Cream Top

  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp dairy free whipping cream

Matcha

  • 1/4 cup water heated to 175F
  • 1-2 tsp ceremonial grade matcha powder

Instructions

Pie Crust Topping

  • Preheat oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
  • Cut your pastry dough into thin strips, about 1/2" in width and then form a lattice pattern by weaving your strips of dough over and under (see video for reference).
  • Use the glass you plan to serve the drink in to cut a circle out of the lattice dough, then transfer to the baking sheet. Brush with melted vegan butter and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  • Bake in the oven for about 8 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. Let cool completely and set aside while you prepare the rest of the drink.

Dairy Free Cream Top

  • Whip together maple syrup and vegan heavy cream using an electric frother until thick and creamy. Adjust to taste with more or less sweetener, as desired.

Pumpkin Pie Matcha

  • In a glass, combine pumpkin puree, milk, spices and vanilla. Use a milk frother to evenly combine all the ingredients.
  • Heat water to 175F then sift matcha through a fine sieve into a matcha bowl, using a small spoon to push through. Add the water to the bowl and use a bamboo whisk to whisk vigorously in a back and forth "M" shaped motion for about 30 seconds, or until no clumps remain and a fine layer of froth has formed at the top of the bowl.
  • To assemble, add a generous amount of ice to a glass, followed by the pumpkin pie milk, prepared matcha and cream top. Finish it off by gently placing the pie crust topping on top. Enjoy immediately!
