Measure out 1.5 cups of plain flour into a glass bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon of caster sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the flour.

Cut and measure the vegan butter into the flour mixture.

Rub the vegan butter into the flour until the mixture resembles a crumble.

Gradually add cold water and mix until the dough comes together.

Roll out the pastry to fit the pie dish, patching up any edges as needed.

Cut out decorative leaves from leftover pastry to place on top of the pie.

Prick the pastry base with a fork to prevent bubbling during baking.

Pre-bake the pie crust in the oven at 160 degrees Celsius for about 20 minutes.

Prepare the pumpkin pie filling by measuring 1 cup of coconut milk into a mixing bowl.

Add 1 cup of light brown sugar to the coconut milk.

Incorporate 1 whole can of pumpkin puree into the mixture.

Measure and add 3 tablespoons of corn flour to the filling.

Add 1 teaspoon of ground ginger and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon to the filling.

Grate whole nutmeg into the mixture to taste.

Blend the filling until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary.

Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust.

Add the decorative pastry leaves on top of the filling before baking.

Bake the pie in the oven at 160 degrees Celsius for 2 hours.

Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
