Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted vegan butter, and maple syrup. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand, then press into a pie dish and bake for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  3. Whisk together brewed espresso, coconut milk, almond milk, brown sugar, cornstarch, maple syrup, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon in a saucepan.
  4. Place saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens to a custard-like consistency, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Pour the thickened custard into the cooled crust and spread it evenly.
  6. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the custard to set.
  7. Slice into wedges, serve chilled, and optionally garnish.
