Dairy Free Gluten Free Pudding


katiekay

Recommended Posts

Just had awesome chocolate pudding!! Dairy and gluten free!! Very thick... would not know it was dairy free or gluten free. (I used almond breeze unsweetened vanilla almond milk)

Ok so here is the recipe on my "Let's Do Organic Cornstarch" box for chocolate pudding:

Chocolate Pudding - makes about 2 cups

2 cups soymilk, rice milk, almond milk

3 T. cocoa powder

5 T. cornstarch

1/2 c. sugar

1 t. vanilla

combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Whisk until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until pudding is very thick. Pour into individual serving dishes and chill.

Serving suggestions: top with sliced banana, strawberries, other fruit, or shredded coconut.

So my question - I can not find a recipe for vanilla pudding. I tried to convert a recipe to dairy free but it definitely didn't work. Anyone have a recipe they use??? Would love one for butterscotch too... but vanilla is by far my favorite and my husband and I are not much into chocolate. I am sure there is a way to convert recipe above but I just don't know how to go about it... :) I am not an experienced cook and know it would be more than just taking out the cocoa powder. Hmmm... I wonder if I could make almond pudding by adding almond flavoring instead of vanilla.

Actually, simply removing the cocoa powder would do it. At least for the most part. Although you may want a stronger vanilla taste, depending on the strength of the flavoring you're using. Personally, I'd probably also add some coconut oil, but to each his/her own.

This sounds wonderful! Thank You for sharing. For vanilla maybe you can use some type of vanilla bean powder in place of the cocoa? I have no idea what brands are gluten free/dairy free but I know I have seen vanilla powder or vanilla sugar that is just like powdered sugar and ground vanilla beans. Maybe you can make your own? I'm not sure...Let us know if you come up with anything. I don't know what you could do for butterscotch flavor.

thank you guys!! :) I should just try it and see what happens. In my gluten free cook book she talked about how picky it was to convert recipes... had to have the correct amount of dry and wet... but probably with this it wont be a big deal.

I found this recipe for vanilla powder: Open Original Shared Link

Takes a few weeks to get the flavor but it might be worth it and if it doesn't work in this recipe you could use it for other things :)

what a great idea... I have never bought vanilla beans b4 but probably easy to find! Thank you for posting the recipe.

There's also trying banana for a non-chocolate flavor. mark bittmas has a silken tofu banana recipe in food matters that looks interesting.

For those who may not know, vanilla powder is not used like cocoa powder. It is used just like vanilla extract. That is, in small amounts, as flavoring only. Some recipes cannot tolerate the water or alcohol in the liquid extract, and there can be other factors such as color to consider.

While vanilla pudding doesn't require powdered or ground vanilla, using a high quality vanilla in recipes really can make a big difference.

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Hi Lily Ivy. Thanks for responding. Did you have withdrawal? If so, what was it like and for how long?

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.

      @Manaan2, have you considered the possibility that she might be cross reacting to some food or foods that technically don't contain gluten but whose proteins closely resemble gluten. Chief candidates might be dairy (casein), oats (avenin), soy, corn and eggs. One small study showed that 50% of celiacs react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) like they do gluten.
