20+ Best Recipes for Dairy Free Thanksgiving Desserts
Finding tasty, dairy free Thanksgiving desserts can be a challenge. Pretty well everyone knows someone who is either lactose intolerant, vegan or has some sort of dairy sensitivity, so having options for meals – especially some awesome Thanksgiving desserts – is just plain smart. Here, we’re sharing twenty of the best dairy-free Thanksgiving desserts sure to satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth. From classic pumpkin pies to apple-pear desserts and more – we’ve got your Thanksgiving dinner covered!
We promise even the most hardcore diary lover won’t miss the milk.
We have several lactose-intolerant family members and it feels less than welcoming to just say, “Oh, guys, hope you brought your Lactaid! Sorry!” It’s tough because we love our cheese, butter, cream… basically dairy-based everything. This shouldn’t mean our whole menu ends up with milk of some form in it. We need to do better by our people, especially when it’s a meal like Thanksgiving dinner and the whole family is gathered.
And you know what? Some of these are so awesome that you might just want to add them to your table, even if you aren’t a dairy-free household. After all, what kind of host doesn’t test all the dishes you’re planning on serving ahead of time? No spiced, baked pears or sweet potato blondies are going un-sampled on your watch!
Also, here are 20+ Gluten Free Holiday Desserts that Look and Taste Amazing

So don’t let dietary restrictions stop you from making everyone feel included and enjoying desserts this Thanksgiving. With these twenty delicious dairy-free desserts, you will surely find something everyone around your table can enjoy. So, make your holiday extra special with one of these sweet treats!
As for us – that Pumpkin Spice Tiramisu and Mini-Apple Pies with Caramel aren’t going to test-bake themselves, so I need to get to the kitchen and get busy! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
