    Dairy-Free Pies: Over 75 Recipes for the Holidays

    32
    By Alisa Fleming on November 10, 2022 Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes, In The News

    Updated for 2022! If you’re wondering what dairy-free dessert to serve for the holidays, you’ve come to the right place. Every year, I update this listing of dairy-free pies with even more incredible recipes for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and beyond. It includes delicious holiday pie recipes with options for vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, refined sugar-free, paleo, and more. Plus, I’ve rounded out the post with additional dairy-free crust recipes and tips for toppings. And to make navigating even easier, I’ve added these jump links. Just click on the section you want to jump straight to it:

    • Pumpkin Pies
    • Pecan Pies
    • Apple Pies and Crisps
    • Sweet Potato Pies
    • More Unique Holiday Pies
    • Pie Crusts
    • Whipped Topping & Ice Cream

    Dairy-Free Pies: Over 75 Recipes for the Holidays with vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, soy-free, raw, and paleo options.

    Over 75 Dairy-Free Pies for the Holidays

    Of course, all of the following pie recipes are dairy-free (lactose-free, casein-free, whey-free, milk-free, etc.). Plus, the recipes are gluten-free as noted, as long as you use a gluten-free pie crust. See the crust recipes near the end of this article for some great options. Also, for the dairy-free pies labeled as soy-free or optionally soy-free, use a soy-free butter alternative when needed. We’ve tested Country Crock, Melt Organic, or Earth Balance Soy-Free sticks. They each bake up beautifully. Miyoko’s also works great for pie crust, but it is pricier! Here is the free-from label key for this guide:

    • v = vegan or vegan option (also egg-free)
    • gf = gluten-free or gluten-free option
    • nf = nut-free or nut-free option
    • sf = soy-free or soy-free option

    Now, onto those holiday recipes for dairy-free pies. I’ve highlighted some my personal favorites. But you can also find recipes for more of my favorite dairy-free pies in Go Dairy Free: The Guide and Cookbook!

      Wow! I’m not a huge pie fan, only because I don’t care for pie crust, but this list left me speechless. I have a feeling I could eat a few slices this year if these were at my Thanksgiving table.

        I’m the same way! Not a big pie crust fan. But recently I’ve made a couple that I like 🙂 It’s still all about the filling though!

      Hi Alisa. Can you recommend your favorite brand of canned coconut milk to use in the Alisa’s pumpkin pie recipe? Thanks!

      Reply
      • Alisa Fleming on November 5, 2018 7:12 am

        This is a dilemma right now, as so many of the full fat coconut milks on the market right now are very watered down and don’t set up. I found Native Forest Regular (not their Simple one) was very rich and thick. I shake the can in store, and if it sounds watery, it probably won’t set up nicely. If you use the eggs in the recipe, it should be okay even if your coconut milk isn’t quite thick, but I like the richness of thicker ones.

      Was the Oreo pie crust recipe link updated lately? When I click, it seems to take me to a vegan apple pie recipe on The Spruce’s website. I’d love to use this to help make my popular peanut butter pie into something my dairy- and soy-free child can eat! Thanks so much!

      I am just noticing that some of the links say that the recipe is nut free, but the recipe includes nuts. I just wanted to let you know!

      Reply
      • Alisa Fleming on October 8, 2015 1:46 pm

        Hi Bethany, I just double checked a large selection of them labeled was nut-free and none contained nuts (aside from one where nuts were an optional garnish). If there are any specific errors that you noted, please do let me know! I assume that you aren’t labeling nutmeg and coconut as allergenic concerns for those with tree nut allergies specifically.

          Your ingredients listed nutmeg but the recipe is labeled nut free

          • Alisa Fleming on September 25, 2018 8:02 pm

            You are in luck, it is nut free! Nutmeg is not a tree nut. You can learn more from FARE -> https://www.foodallergy.org/about-fare/blog/is-nutmeg-a-nut-and-other-holiday-cooking-questions

      Love love love … and only because you asked “did I miss anything”

      1) Any ideas for a dairy-free fudge recipe …

      2) Any ideas for a dairy-free melted white chocolate like to cover pretzel rods or use in candy molds

      Keep on rocking you are the queen of the dairy free universe 🙂

        Hi Melanie, do you have Go Dairy Free? There is a dairy-free white chocolate recipe in there (and I’m working on another!) and for fudge, we have a few here on the site, like this one: http://www.godairyfree.org/news/nutrition-headlines/the-best-holiday-fudge-ever-and-it-just-happens-to-be-vegan

        I’m hoping to have time to make another fudge recipe soon.
