Df Cream Cheese Frosting

This is what I tried.

8 oz Toufutti Better the Cream Cheese

1/2c Earth Balance Butter repalcement

Vanilla

Powdered Sugar

I think because of the water content in both the cream cheese sub and the earth balance the sugar dissovled. The frosting did not thicken up at all no matter how much powdered sugar I put in. I even tried using more cream cheese but to no avail. In the end it had a good taste and I had lots of frosting but it was more of a thick glaze than a frosting.

Does anybody have any idea on how I can thicken the frosting up or can I no longer have cream cheese frosting :(

I feel sad that your strawberry cake and frosting are a "mess". :(

Maybe you could find a frosting on one of these links or some tips:

My dd doesn't like cream cheese so I just buy Pillsbury vanilla. What if you beat together Pillsbury vanilla (if you can have it) and the tofutti? You could try a sample.

Put some sliced fresh strawberries on your cake and frosting :)

Hi ChrissyB,

I'm not Dairy Free nor Vegan, but here's a couple of products that may help.

Using Earth Balance, Sheese, Mimic Creme and confectioners sugar

you should get the results you want.

The first thing that comes to mind is to add coconut flour, since it soaks up a lot of liquid. However, I think I'd also probably not add any margarine, as that will remain soft unless kept very cold. So I guess I'd try that first, and if it needs the extra stiffness, then add the coconut.

Thank you all so much for your help. As I have found out cooking dairy free and gluten free is a trail and error but it a has been fun for the most part. I just have to remember to laugh and not get upset when things don't work out.

I remembered where I found this recipe...in a Pillsbury cookbook I bought about 25 yrs ago.

So simple:

Beat together 1 can Pillsbury vanilla ready to spread frosting with 3 oz. softened cream cheese on low speed until smooth.

I don't know how it will work with a df sub.

Hope it works for you!

I make this recipe all the time for cookies/carrot cake. I also use Tofutti and Earth Balance subs. It's worked great every time. My gluten/dairy-eating relatives can't tell the difference.

Gluten Free Cream Cheese Frosting

(from the website www.eatingglutenfree.com)

8 oz. cream cheese

      What should I do with these test results?

      By trents · Posted

      I would agree. The tests do not indicate you have celiac disease. So, if you are convinced that when you eliminate gluten from your diet your symptoms improve, I would conclude you have NCGS.

      What should I do with these test results?

      By Jack Common · Posted

      My old results are: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 6.6 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.91 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) IgA Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) IgG Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 0.3 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 46.1 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal)   Then I didn't eat gluten for six months and after I started a gluten challenge. Before the challenge I did some tests as RMJ had suggested to do. My results: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 28 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   As trents suggested I ate 6 slices of wheat bread before the tests during the challenge. My results: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.31 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 2.13 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   As I can understand I don't have celiac disease.

      Global Food Gluten Free Certification

      So it sounds like Global Foods has adopted the FDA standard for "gluten free" advertising.

      Agreed, I am disappointed in the recent GFCO findings as well and definitely don't hold them in as high of a regard as I used to. I did find on the Global Foods website after posting that their required ppm limit is 20ppm, which isn't as low as I had hoped. I'll email and report back. Thx.

      Never heard of them. They give an email address so if I were you I would contact them and ask those questions. It would be wonderful if they had tighter requirements than GFCO in the sense of more frequent batch testing and even random testing. Recent news articles on this forum from back in this summer have revealed that GFCO is letting us down.
