Ok so i want a vegan soy free pumpkin pie recipe and pecan recipe. Also a vegan soy free whipped topping recipe would be good too. I have tried the corn starch method in pumpkin pie 3 times now. 2 different methods and every time they boil in the oven, sometimes never set up and always have a horrible skin and the texture is not to my liking. Please, i am DONE with the corn starch pies. I was thinking i could use agar or flour, but i was wondering if anyone has already tried this so i can learn from your mistakes before i make my own and waste ingredients. With the pecan pie i would usually make the poor mans pie with pinto beans, but i am the only one in my family that doesn't really care for it, its blindingly sweet and the texture isn't the normal pecan pie texture. I was also thinking of using agar for the pie. And finaly the whipped topping. I have tried many different things with coconut milk. Yesterday i tried a recipe using corn starch, agar, agave and coconut milk and about 5 steps of cooking, blending, cooling, blending, and more blending. In the end, it had a powdery after taste and tasted overwhelmingly of coconut (Not what i like). I have also tried cashew creme where i take dates, water and cashews and blend in my blender. Its tasty, but tastes like cashews. So, does anyone have any recipes and experience with the agar, vegan soy free pecan pie, pumpkin pie and whipped topping?
