Updated for 2019! Who says that just because you follow a special diet, you can’t have your pie and eat it too? If you’re wondering what dairy-free dessert to serve for the holidays, you’ve come to the right place! Every year, I update this listing of dairy-free pies with even more incredible recipes for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and beyond. It includes delicious holiday pie recipes to suit a variety of free-from needs plus additional crust recipes and tips for toppings. Vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, refined sugar-free, paleo, raw, or just dairy-free pies, we have a recipe or three for you to bake, and for your entire family to enjoy.

Every year I check the links on this post (let me know if you get a bad one that I missed!), and I add some new recipes for dairy-free pies. And to make navigating even easier, I’m adding these jump links. Just click on the section you want to jump straight to it:

Over 75 Dairy-Free Pies for the Holidays

Of course, all of the following pie recipes are dairy-free (lactose-free, casein-free, whey-free, milk-free, etc.). Plus, the recipes are gluten-free as noted, as long as you use a gluten-free pie crust. See the crust recipes near the end of this article for some great options. Also, for the dairy-free pies labeled as soy-free or optionally soy-free, where margarine is called for, use Melt Organic or Earth Balance Soy-Free for a good dairy-free and soy-free margarine option that bakes up beautifully.

Now, onto those holiday recipes for dairy-free pies. I’ve highlighted some my personal favorites! And you can find recipes for more of my favorite dairy-free pies in Go Dairy Free: The Guide and Cookbook – the new 2nd edition!

Dairy-Free Whipped Topping & Ice Cream

Don’t forget the topping! Truly dairy-free whipped topping is still a bit elusive, but it’s getting easier to locate in stores. Plus, it is surprisingly easy to make your own vegan whipped “cream” (or should I say crème?) at home. For full details on both store-bought and homemade options, see my detailed post on How to Find or Make Dairy-Free and Vegan Whipped Cream. And you can easily make my Foolproof Dairy-Free Whipped Cream Recipe (it’s foolproof if you follow the directions and tips!).

As for dairy-free ice cream, you can get a wonderful array of dairy-free, vegan, and gluten-free frozen desserts at most major grocers these days. I highly recommend any So Delicious Cashew Milk Frozen Dessert (AMAZING!), Coconut Milk Frozen Dessert (for nut-free & vanilla flavors), Nadamoo Coconut Milk Ice Cream, or my Purely Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe in Go Dairy Free: The Guide and Cookbook.
