Dairy free Pumpkin Pie recipe?

[cruelshoes]

I get to make the pumpkin pie for my in-laws T-day dinner this year. I have a SIL who is lactose intollerant. Anyone ever made a dairy free pumpkin pie? I have a crust recipe already, but I need a recipe for the filling - all my recipes have either condensed or evaporated milk.

Thanks!

Hi Colleen,

Several have had good luck with using coconut milk. I'd have to look up a recipe...

Ditto x 2 on the coconut milk suggestion. Another option would be rice or soy milk.

Duh! I forgot about the lactose free milk. They sell it in quart size containers or larger. Because my grandmother is lactose intollerant, I normally buy a container for holidays and use it for baked goods and other cooked items(mashed potatoes, etc) that need milk. Whatever is leftover I send home with my grandmother.

I have been going through allergy diet sites, and here is a replacement for evaporated milk; 1 c. light cream alternative or dairy free coffee creamer (carefully check ingredients, many do have milk proteins)
1 c. rice or soy concentrate, undiluted
soy, rice, or non-dairy powder mixed double strength to equal 1 c.
this is the recipe I am going to try; 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1/3 c water
2/3 c dairy free milk substitute
2 c (1 can) pumpkin
1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 c sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp. salt
