    Wholly Wholesome Dairy-Free Frozen Pies are Good in a Pinch

    3
    By Alisa Fleming on December 4, 2012 Dairy-Free Cake & Pie Reviews, Product Reviews

    Never in a million years did I think I would be able to walk into a store and simply buy a dairy-free pie. But there they were … boxes upon boxes of frozen apple, cherry, and even dairy-free pumpkin pies from Wholly Wholesome at Whole Foods!

    I first heard of Wholly Wholesome Frozen Pies a few years ago. Their organic and whole grain products piqued my interest, but I was a bit timid? Would whole wheat pies fly with my white flour-loving husband? Would they be good enough to bring to a friend’s house for the holidays? Despite my hesitations, I eventually decided to put their apple pie to the test.

    Wholly Wholesome Frozen Apple Pie

    Wholly Wholesome Dairy-Free Frozen Pies are Good in a Pinch

    Every year I bake my own pumpkin pie, but this year we were going to be skiing all day and then heading straight to friends for a casual Thanksgiving. There wasn’t going to be time for baking and properly transporting a fresh pie, so into our day pack went an Apple Pie from Wholly Wholesome.

    Apple Pie

    The Apple pie was quite easy to prepare – keep frozen until ready to bake. After the main event was finished, we popped it in the oven. Silly me didn’t read the instructions completely, which recommended an egg or water wash to help with browning, so our apple pie did not brown at all. Not one little bit in fact. It looked exactly the same baked as unbaked. Fortunately, this didn’t effect the taste.

    Everyone liked the Apple Pie, which definitely held its own without ice cream, as it was quite sweet! The crust had a whole grain taste and texture, but this seemed to work. When I asked if our guests would like to keep the leftovers, they jumped at the chance.

    Dairy-Free Pumpkin Pie

    We had issues with the pumpkin pie, but Wholly Wholesome reformulated it. I haven’t tried the new version, but Sarah did. She said all of the prior flavor and texture issues were resolved, and left her own review and star rating below.

    But use caution when purchasing, as Wholly Wholesome also has a frozen pumpkin pie with dairy. Be sure to look for the one that is specifically labeled as “dairy-free.” This information is for their dairy-free pumpkin pie specifically.

    Worst so-called pumpkin pie I've ever experienced.

    Just tried a small slice of Wholly Wholesome, or should I say loathsome, naturally Wholiscious Bake At Home Pumpkin Pie.

    It was so bad, even a generous helping of whip cream couldn’t save it. Ate half of a small slice & threw rest away & ate some Rocky Road ice cream to get taste of worst pumpkin I’ve ever had, out of my mouth.

    We were very disappointed in the lack of flavor and paste-like texture. No one in our house will be buying it again. Thankfully it is a small pie so my son (who doesn’t believe in food waste) is going to try to eat the rest of it. Maybe the one with dairy is getting the high reviews but this was a waste of $10. (The crust was acceptable but nothing to get excited about either.)

    My family and I tried their pumpkin pie, and we were pleasantly surprised. It’s a not-too-sweet, not-too-soft, perfectly-seasoned pumpkin pie. While we usually bake our own pumpkin pie, we enjoyed this one very much. My children even liked the healthy crust! It is the perfect item to bring to a holiday gathering. Especially if you are a relative of someone who can’t eat dairy and you want to provide an easy, safe dessert.

    My husband, the resident pie fanatic, gave this pie two thumbs up. He said not quite like homemade, but still delicious. I liked it too, but found it just a little too sweet. We skipped the dairy-free a la mode, because that would have been too sweet.

      I have loved your dairy free pumpkin pie the past 2 Thanksgiving but this year it tastes funny 🙁 it has like a strange aftertaste. …like a weird şpice maybe? I just have to be honest. …… we don’t think it’s improved. It wasn’t broke. …why fix it?

        I hate it when that happens with a brand Kristin! One of my favorite brands “improved” their product and I hated the change. Thanks for letting us know – hopefully Wholly Wholesome will read your note here!
