Ingredients for this dairy free, gluten free, sugar free pumpkin pie recipe
There are a lot of different ways to go about creating a pumpkin pie recipe without gluten, dairy or sugar, but the biggest challenge is how to recreate the firmness of a classic pumpkin pie without heavy cream, milk or sugar, especially when you don’t have a pie shell to hold it all together on the bottom.
In order to try and add firmness, I opted for coconut cream in the hopes that it would achieve a level of firmness enough to be able to serve a slice of pie like you do with a traditional version. In lieu of artificial sweetener, I used a stevia and erythritol combination, but you can use any number of different types including Splenda sweeteners, monk fruit or other sugar substitute.
- canned pumpkin (or homemade pumpkin puree)
- canned coconut cream
- zero calorie sweetener
- eggs
- pumpkin pie spice
- vanilla extract
- sea salt
The sweetener I used is shown in the image below. If you click on it, it will take you to Amazon.com so you can see more information.

Step-by-step instructions for making the sugar free pumpkin pie recipe
​This is a pretty simple process to pull together the ingredients and get them ready to pour into a pie pan.
- preheat oven
- add all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl
- combine with a hand mixer until pumpkin mixture is blended
- spray a pie pan with non-stick spray
- pour pumpkin pie filling mixture into pie plate
- bake and enjoy
Tips for achieving the perfect texture and flavor
​The flavor of this sugar free pumpkin pie recipe was hands down perfect, so if you make it as described, I don’t think you will be disappointed. It tasted fresh and real and the spices popped against the pumpkin perfectly. But texture could be an issue depending on how patient you are. This isn’t going to be as firm as a slice of traditional pumpkin pie which makes it somewhat of a challenge to cut and serve from a pie pan. It did work, but I had to be very slow and careful to maintain the pie shape for each of the slices.
If you don’t care about serving this sugar free pumpkin pie recipe the same way as regular pumpkin pie, serving it in ramekins would make it a lot easier.

Variations and substitutions for the recipe
If you aren’t looking for a low carb pumpkin pie recipe, you could use a gluten-free pie crust and pour the creamy pumpkin filling into that. It will help the serving process, and while the pie filling still won’t be as firm as traditional pumpkin pie, the crust will help give it more structure.
Some people use unsweetened almond milk, unsweetened coconut milk or other non dairy milks in lieu of the coconut cream. But I think many of those recipes call for cornstarch or some other thickener to try and make the filling firmer.
We would love to hear any suggestions that you have for making our original recipe even better!
Serving suggestions and additional toppings
​This healthy pumpkin pie recipe can be cut into 6 or 8 slices depending on how many people you are looking to serve. As mentioned, you can also use ramekins to bake individual servings, and that will depend on the size of your ramekins. Personally, this pie is so good, I vote for 6 servings.
Of course, pumpkin pie just isn’t pumpkin pie without whipped cream and thankfully you can buy non dairy whipped topping in the freezer section of many grocery stores.
Frequently asked questions about sugar-free baking
- Can I use different sugar alternatives in this sugar free pumpkin pie recipe?
- Absolutely! Feel free to use your preferred sugar substitute like stevia, monk fruit extract, erythritol or xylitol. You will have to read the different packages to figure out if it will be a one-to-one replacement with the one we used.
- Is this pie gluten-free?
- Yes, this recipe is naturally gluten-free as it doesn’t contain any grains, flour or crust. However, always double-check the labels of the ingredients you use to ensure they are certified gluten-free if you have an allergy.
- Can I add additional spices or flavors to the pie filling?
- Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different spices like ginger, allspice, or even a hint of maple extract to customize the flavor profile to your liking. I don’t know how additional liquids will impact the firmness, so keep that in mind when substituting or adding ingredients.
- Can I make individual servings of this pie?
- Yes, you can as I mentioned above! Simply divide the pie filling among individual ramekins or muffin tins and adjust the baking time accordingly. Keep an eye on them while baking to ensure they don’t overcook, the cook time will be different than the time to cook it as a single pie.
