Dairy Free Pumpkin Pie

Sharing is caring!

This easy Dairy Free Pumpkin Pie is a delicious way to enjoy pumpkin pie if you are lactose intolerant!

My Mom had a very special birthday on the 1st of November. I can’t tell you what that special birthday was, because she would kill me if I divulged her age!! Lol! 😂 😂

Since she is gluten intolerant and severely lactose intolerant, I had to come up with a different, seasonal dessert for her to enjoy!

I have to say that I have not found a fantastic gluten and dairy free pie crust! I have had gluten free pie crusts that I thought were good, but let’s face it, pie crusts need butter!! I’m not even crazy about the vintage Crisco Pie crust! The butter flavor is essential, in my book!

The dairy free pumpin pie filling, on the other hand, is very good! You really can’t tell the difference! How did I manage that?

Well, did you know that evaporated milk was simply milk? Yes, my friends, milk that has been cooked down and some of the water content evaporated out of it! (hence the name, evaporated milk! 😉 )

To make dairy free pumpkin pie, all you need is dairy free evaporated milk! With all of the new nut milks out there, that is easily accomplished, now-a-days!

This is how you make Dairy Free Evaporated Milk! (You can also buy it in a can from Carnation, but where is the fun in that? And.. it’s expensive!!!) Luckily, it is super easy to make at home! I’m going to make dairy free sweetened condensed milk for a few special holiday baking projects!

How to Make Dairy Free Pumpkin Pie

1. Place canned or fresh, cooked pumpkin in a large bowl with sugar.
2. Add Pumpkin Pie Spice, recipe here.
3. Add eggs.
4. Lastly, add evaporated milk.
5. Whisk together until very smooth.

Carefully fill pie crust. Do not overfill, the pie will leak all over your oven!

Are you making pies for Thanksgiving? I usually feel obligated, because of tradition. But, let’s face it, after eating the turkey and the umpteen side dishes that we all make, who wants to eat dessert! I, myself, wait until the breakast the next morning! (breakfast of champions!) 🙂

This is a very traditional Pumpkin Pie Recipe that has been rendered gluten and lactose free! But… It tastes just like Grandma used to make!
