Updated for 2025! 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 with options for vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, refined sugar-free, and paleo. I’ve also included crust recipes and topping tips to complete dairy-free dessert. You can scan the whole guide, or jump ahead with these links:

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, use a soy-free butter alternative when needed. We’ve tested Country Crock, Melt Organic, or Earth Balance Soy-Free sticks. They each bake up beautifully. Miyoko’s also works great for pie crust, but it is pricier! Here is the free-from label key for this guide:
- v = vegan or vegan option (also egg-free)
- gf = gluten-free or gluten-free option
- nf = nut-free or nut-free option
- sf = soy-free or soy-free option

Oh my goodness Alisa, there’s so many delicious choices! Where to start is the only question.
this list is A GIFT this time of year! I just sent it to my mom, since we are nearly done planning and are talking desserts, my favorite after appetizers! THANK YOU.
ooh, I’d love just an appetizer Thanksgiving – how fun would that be?!
Wow! I’m not a huge pie fan, only because I don’t care for pie crust, but this list left me speechless. I have a feeling I could eat a few slices this year if these were at my Thanksgiving table.
I’m the same way! Not a big pie crust fan. But recently I’ve made a couple that I like 🙂 It’s still all about the filling though!
Hi Alisa. Can you recommend your favorite brand of canned coconut milk to use in the Alisa’s pumpkin pie recipe? Thanks!
This is a dilemma right now, as so many of the full fat coconut milks on the market right now are very watered down and don’t set up. I found Native Forest Regular (not their Simple one) was very rich and thick. I shake the can in store, and if it sounds watery, it probably won’t set up nicely. If you use the eggs in the recipe, it should be okay even if your coconut milk isn’t quite thick, but I like the richness of thicker ones.
What an AMAZING roundup! You really have something for everyone here!!!
I aim to please!
Was the Oreo pie crust recipe link updated lately? When I click, it seems to take me to a vegan apple pie recipe on The Spruce’s website. I’d love to use this to help make my popular peanut butter pie into something my dairy- and soy-free child can eat! Thanks so much!
Oops, looks like their redirect went to the wrong place on their new site, and I missed it! Updated with the correct link. Thanks for pointing this out Abigail!
Thank you very much ?
Thank you so much for including me Alisa!! I SO want to eat my way through every single one of these. LOL!!

What a gorgeous pie round-up Alisa! So many I want to try….
Thanks Allie, I don’t want anyone to go without this holiday season, especially not without pie!
I am just noticing that some of the links say that the recipe is nut free, but the recipe includes nuts. I just wanted to let you know!
Hi Bethany, I just double checked a large selection of them labeled was nut-free and none contained nuts (aside from one where nuts were an optional garnish). If there are any specific errors that you noted, please do let me know! I assume that you aren’t labeling nutmeg and coconut as allergenic concerns for those with tree nut allergies specifically.
Your ingredients listed nutmeg but the recipe is labeled nut free
You are in luck, it is nut free! Nutmeg is not a tree nut. You can learn more from FARE -> https://www.foodallergy.org/about-fare/blog/is-nutmeg-a-nut-and-other-holiday-cooking-questions

Alisa:
Love love love … and only because you asked “did I miss anything”
1) Any ideas for a dairy-free fudge recipe …
2) Any ideas for a dairy-free melted white chocolate like to cover pretzel rods or use in candy molds
Keep on rocking you are the queen of the dairy free universe 🙂
Hi Melanie, do you have Go Dairy Free? There is a dairy-free white chocolate recipe in there (and I’m working on another!) and for fudge, we have a few here on the site, like this one: https://godairyfree.org/news/nutrition-headlines/the-best-holiday-fudge-ever-and-it-just-happens-to-be-vegan
I’m hoping to have time to make another fudge recipe soon.
What an incredible roundup, Alisa! This is such a great “go to” list for everyone! I’m honored to have my Chocolate Silk Pie Recipe indcluded. 🙂
Shirley
Monumental list, Alisa!! So many great choices, I may never need to create another pie recipe for the rest of my life! 😀 Thanks so much for including my Chocolate Pecan Pie and Black Bottom Almond Mousse Pies here. 🙂
