Pecan Pie Pudding Cups - Dairy-Free

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This healthy twist on pecan pie is an elegant dessert to serve for the holidays. I decided to make this into a rich, custardy pudding because an almond flour crust paired with a dessert already filled with pecans is nut overkill in my opinion. Baking in individual serving size ramekins makes this dessert ready to serve with no cutting and there’s less clean-up.

What do you need to make dairy-free pecan pie pudding?

The key ingredient to this decadent dessert is homemade sweetened condensed coconut milk. The condensed milk is easy to make and delicious on its own. It adds a rich sweetness and smooth texture to this pudding. The only other ingredients you’ll need are eggs, cinnamon, honey, vanilla, and pecans of course!

For equipment you’ll need a saucepan, mixing spoon, mixing bowls, whisk, 9×13″ baking dish, and ramekins.

Do the pecan pie pudding cups need to be chilled?

The texture will be best if the pudding cups are chilled for at least two hours before serving. This will allow the custard to firm up and develop the smooth texture we want for pecan pie. Any leftovers should be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator. They’re best if eaten within three to four days.
