Thanksgiving might be my favorite Holiday and the pumpkin pie is one of the best parts of the meal (I mean, other than my mom’s famous stuffing) – so I am beyond excited to bring you this absolutely delicious Dairy-Free Pumpkin Pie that tastes just like traditional pumpkin pie! And, if you are loving this recipe you need to also try these Pumpkin Pie Bars (also dairy-free).
Quick Note on the Crust
You have a couple options when it comes to what crust you want to use. You can use:
- Store-bought: and I totally will not judge you! It is an easy step to eliminate! Here is a great round-up of the best store-bought pie crusts!
- Oil-Based Pastry Crust (Dairy-Free): This is my mom’s recipe that she has made about a million times. Easy and simple and is mix of flour, salt, oil and cold water.
- Gluten-Free Pie Crust: This is a great pie crust recipe that works beautifully in this recipe! This recipe is combo of vegan butter, gluten-free flour, salt, baking powder, xantham gum, egg whites and almond milk.
What You Will Need
- eggs: the egg is really what helps determine how thick or custard-like the cooked pumpkin pie filling becomes.
- pumpkin puree: I prefer to use store-bought pumpkin puree for this recipe, but I do have a homemade pumpkin puree on the site as well that is made with fresh pumpkin.
- dairy-free sweetened condensed coconut milk: I love this stuff! While a lot of dairy free pumpkin pies use almond milk or full-fat coconut milk we are keeping it simple by using this little product. I also use it in these Seven Layer Bars!
- vanilla extract: love the flavor this adds!
- real maple syrup: these adds a bit more sweetness – feel free to sub in some brown sugar instead if you prefer.
- pumpkin pie spice: use store-bought or we have a homemade pumpkin pie spice on the site too – love the taste of those classic flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger.
- crust/pie crust dough: again you can use one of the options on the site or simply grab one from the store! You can use frozen pie crust too!
Recipe FAQs + Tips
- Dairy-Free Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk: here what I used in this recipe.
- Make-Ahead: This is a great item to make ahead of time for Thanksgiving – make up to 3 days before – simply store in the refrigerator.
- Topping: Top with a dairy-free whipped “cream” like this one.
How to Make Dairy-Free Pumpkin Pie
Combine your dairy-free pumpkin pie filling ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
I used this dairy-free sweetened condensed milk and it works SO well!
Pour out your pie filling into your crust (no, you don’t need to pre-cook your crust!).
Spread evenly.
Bake and let cool! Love that golden brown color!
I love serving with dairy-free whipped cream.
So good!!!

Thanks, Robin!! And thank you for coming back to leave a review and rating – I so appreciate it!
Cassie says
This was a great and easy Thanksgiving pie, especially with my own homemade graham cracker crust. For me, it definitely needed the 2 tablespoons of maple syrup for sweetness. I also feel like it needed more pumpkin pie spice. I would probably try a full tablespoon next time overall it was my favorite pie that I made this Thanksgiving so thank you. And I loved trying that coconut condensed cream for the first time. Genius.

Made this last night for Christmas and it turned out really great! very simple, making the pie crust was harder. I used a different recipe for the crust (was out of vegetable oil!) so next time I’ll try using the recipe you list and hope it’ll be better.

Julia says
This was absolutely delicious! I was worried about not pre-cooking the crust but it worked out wonderfully! My only issue was with the coconut! I had to buy a different brand and this recipe required two of those cans(they are smaller), and one of my cans was very solidified and was difficult to mix up, leading to some small chunks in my pie! Not sure if I could’ve blended them away or what the issue was there, if only I could find the recommended brand! This pie was delicious and me and my dairy free sister will make it for years to come!
