I'm searching for something that tastes like pumpkin pie. My mother usually makes crust-less pumpkin pie (weight-watchers recipe, and fabulous), but because it contains evaporated milk--and I'm recently dairy free--I won't be able to enjoy it. Does anyone know any good recipes for something that tastes like pumpkin pie. Oh, and did I mention it needs to be really low in fat?

I'm sorry if this sounds really demanding. This thanksgiving just seems like it's going to be depressing, and something even a little traditional--and pumpkin tasting--would be wonderful. Thank you SO much if you can help me out--I appreciate it so much.

You're all fabulous.

Here's a vegan, dairy free recipie I picked up a while back. It comes from the folks at Small Planet Tofu. I haven't tried it yet. If you do report back.

Tofu Pumpkin Pie

1 1/2 lbs. firm tofu, mashed

3 c. mashed baked pumpkin or winter squash(from my experience with other recipies, butternut squash makes an excellent pie)

1/2 tsp. each ground nutmeg and ginger

1/4 tsp. each allspice and cloves

1 c. maple syrup

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

3/4 tsp. salt

2-3 Tbs. water(optional)

2 unbaked pie crusts(preferrabley Nut Pie Pastry)

Combine pumpkin, tofu, maple syrup spices and salt in a food processor or blender, use water only if the mixture seems very thick. Pour filling into crusts and smooth out. bake in a pre-heated oven @375 for 30 min. Set on a rack to cool, at least 2 hrs., before serving.

They sell Soytoo whipped cream in a spray can in some healthfood and Whole Foods. It is dairy free I believe and yummy I know!

This isn't technically pumpkin pie, but it's a pumpkin treat -- Namaste blondies with a can of pumkin. Don't adjust the recipe at all, just add the pumpkin. They're GREAT!

I make "traditional" pumpkin pie dairy free by substituting vanilla almond milk for the evaporated. Works great.

This is my recipe:)

Pumpkin Polenta Custard with Maple Whipped Cream

2 large organic eggs

3/4 c light brown sugar

pinch salt

1 ts ground cinnamon

1/2 ts ground ginga

pinch nutmeg

1 ts rum extract

1 ts vanilla extract

1 can pumpkin puree

1 can evaporated milk (or substitute as your diet requires)

3/4 c bob's red mill polenta

1 1/2 c water

heavy cream

maple syrup

Preheat oven to 425F.

Cook off polenta first, then set aside to cool. Keep lid on pan.

In a large mixing bowl (or your kitchenaid) add eggs, vanilla & rum extracts, spices, brown sugar and evaporated milk. Whisk together well. Gradually whisk in pumpkin puree. Whisk until well blended. Grab polenta and stir in. Be careful to break apart any lumps.

Spray your favorite baking dish, I used my corning ware 2.5 qt. I used light olive oil nonstick spray you can use butter if you prefer. Pour pumpkin-polenta mixture into baking dish, then bake @ 425F for 15 minutes. Then turn heat down to 350F and continue baking for 45-55 additional minutes or until the center is set.

I think this should be served warm. With maple whipped cream.:) MMM

There are a number of recipes using pumpkin that I've put on Open Original Shared Link.

But making a low-fat pumpkin pie gluten and casein free is pretty easy. Basically, you stick with a regular recipe, with some substitutions. I make pumpkin bread, and turn it into a crumb crust by 'dehydrating' it in the oven after I make it, but you can use cookies or muffins or whatever. Then I use egg whites instead of whole eggs, and reduce down almond milk instead of condensed milk (this can take a while, but works well).

Carla,

Do you buy just plain pumpkin? Because I bought pumpkin puree from Trader Joe's and added some spices to it because it was spice-less and put it in Namaste Muffin mix and it was BLEH!!!!!! It was SO GROSS!!! Although their muffin mix I think is sugar free, so maybe that's why.

I'd guess because it's sugar free, the blondies probably have a much different flavor.

I made muffins yesterday using Namaste muffin mix (the regular one, not the sugar-free). I added 1/2 can pumpkin, 1 tbsp pumpkin spice mix, a handful of dried cranberries and some chopped walnuts. They were yummy :D I think if you were using the sugar-free mix, you would need to add some Stevia, or fruit or something to sweeten it up a bit.

(Thanks for the idea Carla :))

This sounds great Mango, I'm glad you had success with it.

I tried what Carla suggested, adding the can of pumpkin to the Namaste Blondies, and it came out a little rubbery. I don't know if I need to adjust it (i.e. less oil) because I am at hight altitude?

Also, what brand of pumpkin did you use??

I used...gosh I don't know :blink:. I remember it said "organic pumpkin" and it was from Wild Oats. Sorry that doesn't really help. :rolleyes:

My muffins were a little doughy, but I don't think I baked them long enough. Really good though, despite that little glitch :lol:. Oh, and I used walnut oil. I don't know if walnut oil is meant for baking, but the flavor is good.

Thanks Mango, I only seem to find one brand of organic canned pumpkin available in the health food stores here, and I think sometimes it does make a difference what brand you use.

Yeah, the flavor is there just not the consistency, I guess is what you would call it.

Walnut oil sounds interesting to try.

Have you tried evaporated goat milk? I'm severly lactose intolerent and can't handle a speck of milk, but I do drink and use goat milk. The molecules are smaller so it's easier to digest! It makes like a whole lot easier when gluten-free and df because I can still have cheese, ice cream (i make it myself), caramel sauce (i have a yummy recipe for that), and have milk and butter. If you're feeling brave try it! You might be surprised :)

This isn't pumpkin pie-like, but it's pumpkin!

I used the Namaste Spice Cake Mix and added in a generous cup of plain canned pumpkin puree to the batter and then baked according to directions in a 9 x 13 pan, it came out great!

Tasted just like pumpkin spice bars.

For the dairy eaters top with cream cheese frosting, to die for!

Carla, help! I did exactly what you said, and it's awful. It's like gooey gelatin in the middle, but it's completely baked, not underbaked at all, it just lookes really strange and tastes wierder and is very dense. What gives!?!?!? I wanted pumpkin blondies.... waaahhhhhh........

Maybe people have been using too much pumpkin - I'll try it this weekend and report back...

I think the spice cake thing would work, although I haven't tried it, it's the blondies thing that didn't work AT ALL. I got a perfect crust with the strangest middle (that looked like orange jello and was completely solid) I've ever seen. Wah.

Sorry, I haven't looked back at this thread until I got a PM ...

I used Wild Oats pumpkin, it was pre-seasoned for pie. I haven't made them this year, but they were great the few times I made them last year!

      A Future Beyond the Gluten-Free Diet? Scientists Test a New Cell Therapy for Celiac Disease (+Video)

      This is very exciting news. The research lends itself to preventing the immune system in other autoimmune disorders from getting out of sorts. As someone with a compendium of autoimmune disorders I feel a bit of hope.

Dietary supplements like Lugol's Solution and Liquid Iodine are 50 micrograms per drop.  It takes 20 drops to reach the safe upper limit. In the US the Safe upper limit is 1100 mcg.  In Europe 600 mcg and in Japan 3000 mcg ( 3 mg).

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JudyLou! There are a couple of things you might consider to help you in your decision that would not require you to do a gluten challenge. The first, that is if you have not had this test run already, is to request a "total IGA" test to be run. One of the reasons that celiac blood antibody tests can be negative, apart from not having celiac disease, that is, is because of IGA deficiency. If a person is IGA deficient, they will not respond accurately to the celiac disease blood antibody tests (such as the commonly run TTG-IGA). The total IGA test is designed to check for IGA deficiency. The total IGA test is not a celiac antibody test so I wouldn't think that a gluten challenge is necessary. The second is to have genetic testing done to determine if you have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease. About 30-40% of  the general population have the genetic potential but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out. Those who don't have the genetic potential but still have reaction to gluten would not be diagnosed with celiac disease but with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).  Another possibility is that you do have celiac disease but are in remission. We do see this but often it doesn't last.

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful). I have a history of breaking out in a horrible, burning/itchy somewhat blistering rash about every 8 years. This started when I was in my early 30’s and at that point it started at the ankles and went about to my knees. Every time I had the rash it would cover more of my body, so my arms and part of my torso were impacted as well, and it was always symmetrical. First I was told it was an allergic reaction to a bug bite. Next I was told it was eczema (after a biopsy of the lesion - not the skin near the lesion) and given a steroid injection (didn’t help). I took myself off of gluten about 3 weeks before seeing an allergist, just to see if it would help (it didn’t in that time period). He thought the rash looked like dermatitis herpetiformis and told me to eat some bread the night before my blood tests, which I did, and the tests came back negative. I’ve since learned from this forum that I needed to be eating gluten daily for at least a month in order to get an accurate test result. I’m grateful to the allergist as he found that 5 mg of doxepin daily will eliminate the rash within about 10 days (previously it lasted for months whether I was eating gluten or not). I have been gluten free for about 25 years as a precaution and recommendation from my doctor, and the pattern of breaking out every 8 years or so remains the same except once I broke out after just one year (was not glutened as far as I know), and now it’s been over 9 years. What’s confusing to me, is that there have been 3 times in the past 2 years when I’ve accidentally eaten gluten, and I haven’t had any reaction at all. Once someone made pancakes (they said they were gluten-free, they were not) and I ate several. I need to decide whether to do a gluten challenge and get another blood test. If I do, are these tests really accurate? I’m also concerned that I could damage my gut in that process if I do have celiac disease. My brother and cousin both had lymphoma so that’s a concern regarding a challenge as well, though there is a lot of cancer in various forms in my family so there may be no gluten connection there. Sorry for the ramble, I’m just doubting the need to remain gluten free if I don’t have any reaction to eating it and haven’t had a positive test (other than testing positive for one of the genes, though it sounds like that’s pretty common). I’d appreciate any thoughts or advice!

Im STILL healing with my skin, eye, and now ms or meningioma ( will know in April  which)and dealing with this limbo nightmare. I did write my name, address ect on the reclamation but im not tech savvy and not sure if went through properly. I called my city representative in Stanislaus County and asked if theres a physical paper i can sign for proclamation for celiac and she had no clue about what I was saying, so I just said I'll go back on website.

      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.
