Pumpkin Pie (Dairy Free, Soy Free, Gluten Free)
"I know. How can a diary/soy/gluten free pie taste good? It really does! The texture wasn't quite as firm though. The recipe comes from godairyfree.com and calls for a gluten free pie crust. I am adding in the almond meal crust I used, or you can use your own. It has coconut milk, but you can't taste the coconut. I also used 3 tsp pumpkin pie spice instead. I would recommend a larger pie tin for this, as I had to scoop some out into a custard cup to bake separately."

ingredients
- 118.29 ml brown sugar, firmly packed
- 59.14 ml white sugar
- 4.92 ml ground cinnamon
- 2.46 ml ground ginger
- 1.23 ml ground nutmeg or 1.23 ml allspice
- 1.23 ml ground cloves
- 2.46 ml salt
- 2 large eggs
- 425.24 g can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)
- 4.92 ml vanilla extract
- 236.59 ml regular coconut milk (not lite)
-
Crust
- 354.88 ml almond meal or 354.88 ml almond flour
- 44.37 ml Earth Balance margarine, melted
- 4.92 ml stevia or 44.37 ml sugar
directions
- Preheat your oven to 425ºF. (Unless using the recipe's pie crust - see pie crust directions.).
- Combine the sugars, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg or allspice, cloves and salt in a small bowl.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Beat in the sugar mixture, pumpkin, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in the coconut milk.
- Pour the filling into the pie crust and bake for 15 minutes.
- Reduce the temperature to 350ºF and continue to bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a knife inserted comes out clean. It may be a bit wobbly still, but it will firm-up as it cools.
- Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for 2 hours (Be patient! This is important). Serve or refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Pie Crust Directions:.
- Preheat oven to 350°F Melt margarine and mix all ingredients directly in the pie pan. Pat into place with your fingertips.
- Bake for about 10 minutes (I baked mine about 20 and it never browned), until the crust is beginning to brown. Once it starts to brown it will burn quickly, so keep an eye on it.

Unbelievable! The best pumpkin pie I have ever eaten. I did use a dairy free/gluten free premade pie crust and I used the lite coconut milk. My family could not believe it was dairy and gluten free. Excellent!! Thank you for such a great recipe! -
Absolutely delicious. My regular diet folks say this beats regular Pumpkin pie. The crust was especially good. I'm going to use the crust for an apple pie! -
I should have written a review years ago - this has been my go-to pie recipe for the holiday for a few years now. It is delicious, and the rest of my family without the dairy/gluten issues like I have eat it too, and don't miss "regular" pumpkin pie, in fact, they like it better, and so do I. The hint of coconut flavor adds another dimension that I would miss if it wasn't there. I made a gluten free graham cracker crust instead of almond flour. YUM -
can you use rice flour in place of almond flour, this sounds good! -
I wasn't sure what you meant by using a larger pie tin for this recipe, but since I almost always make pies in a 12" deep dish pie plate (except when using purchased, premade crusts), I didn't think that would be a problem, & it wasn't! I did, however, use half again as much of the crust ingredients as called for, & that, too, worked well & it did take the full 60 minutes to bake at the 350 degree temp! With all the 'free' ingredients that are included, I was impressed with this pie's taste! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

I am a Christian wife and mother of 3 kids. Since my DH's high cholesterol, we've been eating better. I never used to like cooking. Since eating better, I've liked learning and preparing new recipes. My kids haven't reconciled themselves to the new eating yet. I grind my own grain and make all my own breads.?Working 2 hours a day in the local high school lunch room.??I am homeschooling my high schooler.? ?Also found out 1 child has multiple food allergies (wheat, dairy, tomato, chocolate, etc) and another is gluten sensitive. So, we just started (July 09) eating gluten and dairy free. I've been busy with getting our house market ready, even though it's not the best time for that.?
