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!

- Optionally, top with a dollop of whipped coconut cream before serving. Enjoy!
I plan on using your Sorghum flour pie crust recipe. Does it require a pre bake or is it just as good without? Also, what do you think about black strap molasses to sweeten the pie? Thank you for your beautiful recipes!
It’s just as good without! I think molasses would be delicious. 🙂 I hope you enjoy!
Hi, I really want to try this recipe and was wondering if maple syrup can be substituted with honey or any other sweetener that you could recommend? Asking because maple syrup is hard to come by where I live and when I do it’s a horribly expensive.
Hi! Yes, most definitely. You can use honey, golden syrup, etc. or any granulated sugar of choice. I hope this helps! 🙂
I had to go dairy free because of breastfeeding and this is satisfying all of my pumpkin pie cravings! Thank you!
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing. 🙂
WOW this pie looks amazing! That dollop of whipped coconut cream on top is droolworthy!!
Thank you!!
I am always nervous about baking pies but your simple and easy to follow instructions are making me confident that I can make this work.
I had a can of pumpkin puree to use up… so I made this! It was such a delicious pumpkin pie! Will definitely make it again soon.
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing. 🙂
This is the best recipe ever, so easy and delicious. Thank you so much.
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing!
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.
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
This sure looks tasty! Love how allergy-friendly it is.
I need this pie in my life now! I’m not waiting until Thanksgiving!
It’s genuinely one of my fave recipes! I had trouble not eating the whole thing before sharing with my family haha. 🙂
I love that everyone can enjoy this pie. I do believe I will be putting a big dollop of whipped coconut cream on mine.
I’m so ready for pumpkin pie season! Not that I wouldn’t eat it year-round, of course…
I’ve never understood people not LOVING pumpkin pie and this one looks amazing…with loads of benefits!
Thank you, Jules!
I can’t believe we’re already heading into pumpkin pie season! Brilliant to set up the pie like you would a pudding pie – it looks perfect.
Thank you, Alisa!
