Dairy Free Mini Pumpkin Chiffon Pies
Can we talk about holiday desserts? I think I am not alone when I say this is a favorite part of the meal! The problem I have is because I love to eat, I don’t always save room for dessert! But I always make room for my Dairy Free Mini Pumpkin Chiffon Pies!
One of our favorite desserts is the traditional Pumpkin Pie. I love to bake, so I prefer to make my own pie rather than serve a store bought pie. I wanted to find a dairy free recipe for my guests who are lactose intolerant.
A Favorite Recipe From Mom
I found that I could use one of my mom’s pumpkin pie recipes and make it more tummy friendly. She always served her Pumpkin Chiffon Pie recipe and it was something we looked forward to. One thing mom found was to not make them too far in advance because of the “Great Pie Incident” of 1970.
Pie War!!!
Mom had made her Pumpkin Chiffon Pie recipe, but made them into bite size pies. My two older brothers found them and decided to go to war. The pies they didn’t eat, they there at each other through the kitchen door. It was a huge mess and mom was not happy!
So this year, I decided to take mom’s Pumpkin Chiffon Pie recipe and tweak it a bit. I came up with my Dairy Free Mini Pumpkin Chiffon Pies and they are delicious!

These tasty pies are always a big hit at our holiday meals. What is great is because they are so flavorful, no one knows they are dairy free! For some reason when people hear dairy free, they think they won’t be delicious!

November 1, 2016 at 6:16 pmDairy upsets my stomach as well. I am glad to see a dairy free recipe that looks tasty. Maybe then I could avoid the Immodium.
