Gluten Free Dairy Free Refined Sugar Free Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin Pie Recipe – Gluten, Dairy, and Refined Sugar Free

What would Thanksgiving be without pumpkin pie? For me, the thought is just too horrific to bear.

In my house, no pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving would cause an uproar. The “villagers” would line up with torches burning and pitchforks in hand, determined to find and destroy the evil that brought about such a catastrophe.

This year however, I can’t rely on my old standby recipe, the one I have made for more years than I care to admit in writing. This year I need to make a pumpkin pie that is not just gluten free but dairy and refined sugar free as well.

The reason is this little guy:

Harper Wes

Meet Wes, the newest addition to our family. He is sweet and adorable and utterly delicious and we just can’t get enough of him. And as it turns out, unable to have gluten, dairy, and refined sugar. Which means Mommy can’t have gluten, dairy, or refined sugar. Which means I need a new recipe for pumpkin pie this year.

Since my family can detect even the slightest change in our Thanksgiving Day menu, and protest such change loudly and with much drama, I need the recipe to be undetectable from my old standby recipe. So off to the kitchen I went for a little experimenting and here is the result.

I am confident the “villagers” will be pleased and leave their pitchforks at home. In fact the only forks I expect to see are the ones putting bites of this pie into their mouths.

Recipe Notes: Need a good pie crust recipe? Check out my step by step recipe for perfect gluten free pie crust. To make dairy and refined sugar free use coconut palm sugar in place of the sugar called for in the recipe and in place of the butter (used in the pie crust recipe) use either dairy free buttery sticks (such as from Earth Balance) or shortening sticks – I find these work better than the dairy free buttery spreads. For the coconut milk, use canned, not the coconut milk beverage sold in the refrigerated section.

    Thank you so much for this recipe!! My family is gluten free and I have gone dairy free while nursing our son, so Thanksgiving this year was looking a little pathetic in the dessert department. I am so excited to try this version!! We were all feeling pretty sad about not being able to have pumpkin pie and were debating what our alternative would be. So I can’t wait to tell them about this! I enjoy your recipes very much! Thank you for all your work on making yummy choices for people with food allergies/sensitivities!

    Hi, just a quick question about your recipe. You mention substituting shortening or earth balance for the butter to make it dairy free. However, I don’t see in the recipe that it calls for either of these? Thanks for clarifying. Love all your recipes. Keep ’em coming.

    What a sweet pair of babes Carol! I had no idea you had a new grandbabe, that’s so exciting. I had to eliminate dairy for Callum and wish I’d eliminated gluten too! If I knew then what I know now! It’s so sweet of you to make your Grandson’s Mama a pie she can enjoy. Happy holidays xoxo

    Hi, I tried the pumpkin pie recipe and it it was horrible because of the canned coconut milk. It tasted like soap! Any ideas? Thanks. Connie

      Hi Connie, I’ve personally never had coconut milk that tasted like soap, however you can substitute it using dairy free evaporated milk as in this recipe: http://www.godairyfree.org/recipes/milk-subs/evaporated-milk-for-recipes-i
      I hop ethat helps. xo, Carol

    Hi! I am in the process of making this right now – it’s in the oven. It’s been in there the 15 minutes at 425 and now almost an hour later it’s still not cooked in the middle – totally liquid. Was I supposed to put the whole can of coconut milk in (which is what I did) or just the thick cream part? I can’t think of a reason other than maybe I shouldn’t have added water – that it isn’t cooking.

      Angeles,
      Yes, you were supposed to use the whole can of coconut milk. I don’t know if your oven temperature is correct … Did it ever get cooked all the way through?

        Hi,

        I made the pumpkin pie and had the same problem. I baked it at 425 for 15 minutes and then reduced the temp to 350 for 45 minutes. It was very “toothpick” wet, so I kept baking it until it was overcooked and it still was not toothpick set. It was good but the outer edges were dry.

        Our oven seems to a bit hot so I was surprised the pie didn’t bake up well. What should the results for a “done” toothpick or knife test look like?

        Thanks,
        Debbie

          Hi Debbie,
          Pumpkin pie is more like custard so the toothpick thing isn’t a good way to test. It should look set and drier around the edges than in the middle and as it cools and chills it becomes more firm.

    Your gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free pumpkin pie was a huge hit this Thanksgiving 2015. The pie was awesome. My husband asked me to make another one the day after Thanksgiving because it was gone within the first 30 minutes! More gf, df, rsf recipes please.

    Do you use Xanthum gum at all?

      yes, there’s xanthan gum in the flour used in the pie crust recipe.

      Desma, I like your idea of using maple syrup instead of sugar. Did you reduce any other liquids in the recipe? I would like to try using the syrup, so wanted to make sure that there were no other modifications. Thank you :)
