Looking for a dairy-free pumpkin pie filling? This pumpkin pie with coconut milk is perfect for those who are dairy-free or who just don’t have condensed milk in the pantry!
I am a huge pumpkin pie fan. Like I’ll do just about anything for a slice. It’s my favorite pie and I look forward to Fall every year because of the fact that pumpkin pie is everywhere. But sadly I have never actually made a pumpkin pie. Let alone a pumpkin pie recipe with coconut milk.
So I decided to rectify that right away and this year tackled making a pumpkin pie. Except when I went in my cupboard to get the ingredients I realized I had no evaporated milk. Then when googling alternatives for evaporated milk I realized I could sub coconut milk in and it’d be even healthier! Win win for everyone once I got the perfect recipe figured out.
So now I just need to figure out a gluten-free, dairy-free crust that’ll work for this gluten-free, dairy free pumpkin pie filling. Got any ideas?
Oh, and by the way? This pie? To die for! You can’t taste the coconut milk at all. Just rich, creamy pumpkin pie filling. And it’s even better with a dollop of whipped cream. If you prefer to go all organic and natural try your hand at pumpkin puree. It’s super easy to make and is great in a lot of different dishes.

We love pumpkin pie! I’m intrigued now to try it with coconut milk. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
This looks really good. Love that you incorporated one of our family’s favorite ingredients, coconut milk. I love pecan pie the best.
I am CRAVING Pumpkin Pie now! Love the idea of coconut milk. Do you get a hint of coconut?
oh, yum!! dairy free pumpkin pie??? My son thanks you!!!
I think if there was a way to make pumpkin pie even more delicious, you have found it with using coconut milk. YUM!
How much pumpkin puree??? Looks delicious!
Sorry! 2 cups. I forgot to go back and double check the packaging. If you have canned pumpkin (love the organic stuff from Trader Joe’s) you can use one 15 ounce can. I used the Pacific Foods organic pumpkin puree in the Tetra Pac that’s 16 ounces. That extra ounce is fine!
i’d like to try it with coconut milk. sounds great!
You know when you first open the can of coconut milk, and there’s that creamy stuff on top? Mmmmmm! And now with pumpkin… Gotta try your recipe!
