These sweet and savory vegan pies are a great way to showcase whole-food ingredients, especially fresh fruits and vegetables (though of course you can use canned or frozen). Crusts and toppings perfectly complement tender fillings, and as these yummy pies prove, they don’t need to be loaded with fat, dairy, or processed sugar to be irresistible. Perfect for special occasions or as a sure-to-please family meal, the plant-based pie is every home cook’s friend.

Chocolate Mousse Pie

Made with squash, this stunning dessert has all the dark-chocolate scrumptiousness you expect in a chocolate mousse, but you won’t leave the table feeling like you’ve gone up a dress size. The nutty-earthy oat and cashew base offers an exquisite contrast in flavor and texture, and the garnish of raspberries adds a pop of color and tartness.
