Really Yummy Frosting Recipes

I've been baking gluten free cupcakes and I really want a homemade from scratch frosting recipe. The problem is I tried the kind that asks for shortening, vanilla, confectioner's sugar, etc. It just has a fake taste to me. I really have been trying not to eat dairy so it kind of limits what I can put in it (ie: butter). Does anyone know of a frosting recipe that is both tasty and dairy-free and also not premade or from a mix?

I will look around this weekend and see if I can find something. I have an allergy cookbook that has various recipes and how to alter them.

Have you experimented with coconut oil or milk yet? If you are doing chocolate you can make a fake 'ganache' with gluten free choc. chips and some sort of liquid... I always just suck it up and do confectioner's sugar :lol: . (shortening makes me gag) so I like to use maple syrup or honey depending on what I am eating. I did a rum-maple glaze once for a pumpkin spice cake and it was yum! I use honey on applesauce cakes and that is really delicious.

I wonder what would happen if you tried whipping coconut milk with eggwhites. Adding some natural flavors and sweetener to that.

How about White Mountain Frosting or Seven Minute Frosting? I'd make it with cream of tartar and substitute vanilla beans for the extract.

recipezaar#300324 has a recipe for vegan chocolate frosting. You might be able to get creative and make different flavors with it like vanilla or peanut butter.

I used to make a frosting with 1 cup milk, 1 sm. box instant (any flavor)pudding and 8oz. coolwhip... but I don't know if that will suit your needs. Whisk milk & pudding, fold in topping. Store in fridge.

I am reading a bunch of good recipes from Open Original Shared Link

She has some frosted cake recipes that sound good. Maybe you can make them dairy free.

Have fun experimenting!!! :P

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By PlanetJanet · Posted

      After looking at Google images, the spleen is on the upper left abdomen, too!  An organ, part of the lymphatic system for immune function.  A filter.  Wonder how this relates to gluten sensitivity?

      Hello, everyone, This upper left side pain is interesting to me.  I have this same pain almost all the time.  Started 2009 when I got diverticulitis for the first time.  Then had left ovarian cyst removed and a diagnosis of endometriosis all over inside.  Been attempting gluten-free since 2018.  It's not perfect, but still have that left sided pain.  Like up under the rib cage.  I believe the pancreas head is on that side, so I often wonder if I have a tumor or something there.  But it could also be an endometriosis adhesion in my belly.  I never got scraped.

      Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?

      By DMCeliac · Posted

      One of my biggest issues is when a brand chooses to label one item gluten free, but not another. Why is Hunt's diced tomatoes labeled gluten free, but not the paste or sauce? I would have assumed they were all gluten-free, but why label one and not the others? It makes me suspicious.

      Most of these items would be naturally gluten-free, with very little chance of cross contamination, thus they don't typically label them as gluten-free. If wheat is a potential allergen large companies disclose this in the ingredients as "Allergens: wheat."
