A Few Tips for Making Dairy Free Pumpkin Pie
-
Just Pumpkin!
Be certain to use straight pumpkin puree without any added ingredients for best results.
-
Chill it!
Your pumpkin pie should still be slightly wobbly when removed from the oven. Make sure you do not skip the refrigeration step, as this is what sets and fully the solidifies the pie!
-
Store it!
I doubt there will be anything left to store after you taste this pie, but if storage is needed simply store slices in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to one week. To serve, let sit for a few minutes to bring to room temperature before serving.
Common Recipe Questions
-
Can I replace the maple syrup?
Yes. But I only recommend replacing it with a liquid sweetener. You can replace the maple syrup with honey, agave syrup or coconut nectar. For a sugar-free pie, I recommend this sugar-free sweetener from Lakanto.
-
Can I replace the tapioca flour with another flour or starch?
Yes. Alternatively, you can use arrowroot starch.
-
Can I replace the coconut milk?
Yes. It will not be as creamy, but you can use other non-dairy milks such as cashew, oat or almond for similar results. You can also use coconut cream for super creamy results!

I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing!
Christine T. says
Can this be made ahead and frozen? I have to work when it's needed for Thanksgiving and don't want to leave it sit for two days before it is eaten.
Kristen Wood says
Hi Christine - it can be frozen! It just needs a fair amount of thawing time, so be certain to pull it out at least 6 hours before you need it. And, I will say that refrigerating it works out well, too, and would be another option if it's only for two days. I hope this helps! 🙂 -Kristen
