Crustless Pumpkin Pie (Dairy-Free)

I tried this recipe from Chocolate Covered Katie's blog because I needed a dairy-free pumpkin pie. My sister LOVED it, so it's been added to the  rotation!  I modified the recipe a bit, and it works great for us like this.  You could make it gluten-free by using a gluten-free flour, but it's recommended not to use coconut flour.

  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice 
  • 2 tsp cinnamon 
  • 1/2 tsp salt 
  • 2 tsp baking powder 
  • 1/3 cup flour 
  • 1/3 cup plus 2 T brown sugar 
  • 1 (15-oz) can pumpkin puree 
  • 1 cup milk (of your choice, I usually use almond) 
  • 1 tsp corn starch 
  • 2 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract 
Preheat oven to 400 F, and grease a 10-inch round pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine first 7 ingredients, and stir very well. Add wet ingredients into dry, stir to combine, then pour into the pan and bake 35 minutes. (It’ll still be gooey after baking, but that’s ok.) Allow to cool completely before transferring uncovered to the fridge to “set” for at least 6 hours before trying to slice.

Crustless Cranberry Pie

One of my sister's favorites!  A staple during the holidays in our house.

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups cranberries
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
Directions: 
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease one 9 inch pie pan.
  2. Combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Stir in the cranberries and the walnuts, and toss to coat. Stir in the butter, beaten eggs, and almond extract. If you are using frozen cranberries, the mixture will be very thick. Spread the batter into the prepared pan.
  3. Bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean.
