Dessert Idea Needed

GFreeMO

Recommended Posts

I have a huge sweet tooth. I however can't have dairy or soy and the mixes like Betty Crocker and stuff all need butter. I am also allergic to nuts so Pamelas baking mix etc. is out. What are some desserts that I can make other than just plain fruit which is good but I want something else too.

Thanks - i'm craving my old homemade cookies and muffins - this is sooooo hard for me and I am really getting depressed over it all. This time of year, I use to bake muffins and cookies and apple crisps and pies. I'm getting anxious about a Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie and a Christmas without cookies. :(

Also check out www.spunkycoconut.com. I made banana bread for my 3 1/2 year old last week and I liked it better than the gluten version, and my son asked for it for 3 days straight after it was gone. Also love the vanilla bean cake recipe with the chocolate frosting.

Most mixes can be substituted with oil (instead of butter), and water instead of milk.

You may want to try King Arthur gluten-free flour mix since it is free from soy, milk. Their recipes give hints on substitutions.

As for nuts, are you coconut-allergic too? Frozen whipped coconut milk is great, particularly flavored with cocoa.

How about flavored merangues? Egg whites, sugar, and a dash of cream of tartar for stabilization (or vinegar or nothing.) Then, add a dash of whatever you like: pumpkin pie spice, lemon, peppermint, or other flavor.

Pumpkin pie can totally be made without a crust. It is more like a custard. Ohhhh, but I really am not sure how to do this with no dairy.

Honestly, my sweet tooth lately is satisfied (sorta, I'm trying to convince myself) by Good Earth Original tea. LOVE IT!!! Add a splash of (insert choice milk here) and you have a creamy drink that takes time to consume (if you make it hot enough.)

Oh, final idea: freeze peeled bananas and dip them in some chocolate sauce. Delish!

I suggest the Allergen-Free Baker's handbook, How to Bake Without Gluten, Wheat, DAiry, Eggs, Soy, Peanuts, Tree nuts, and sesame by Cybele Pascal.

We love apple/fruit crisp here at our house! I just use my old topping recipe that calls for some oats and flour. I use a combo of Earthbalance and Spectrum shortening for texture and flavor, instead of the butter or marg. For the flour, I use a sorghum blend, no gum. That's it! Easy peasy.

I made and liked this pumpkin cake last year Open Original Shared Link

There are dairy-free pumpkin custard recipes out there.

Betty Crocker has dairy free recipes for all their gluten free mixes online. Google it...it uses veggie shortening instead.

I use the Betty Crocker gluten free mixes and use the Smart Balance Heart Right Light margarine that is dairy free. Make sure there is a U symbol with "Parve" under it on the right side of the name. That means it is absolutely, 100% dairy free. It works great in these mixes. I also add 1/4 cup of the So Delicious coconut dairy free Parve plain or vanilla yogurt. The yogurt just makes the mixes a little more moist. I make the recipe that uses the brownie mix and the chocolate chip cookie mix together in a large glass 9 X 13 glass pan. When it is cool, cut it up into squares, wrap each one individually and free them. Takes about 20 seconds in the microwave to warm up with a little extra margarine. Mmmmm.

actually, the "U" symbol on food products means that it is certified Kosher

In interpreting ancient dietary laws and adapting them to modern technology, different rabbis have different views about what exactly passes as kosher. The OU symbol, belonging to the Orthodox Union, is one of the strictest kosher standards on the market today.

The OU has been certifying kosher products for over 80 years. Their first kosher certification went to Heinz. In 1923 Heinz Vegetarian Beans became the first American product to display the OU kosher symbol.

In addition, the OU is the world's largest kosher certifying agency. Some of the famous companies that carry the OU symbol include Coca-Cola, General Mills, Heinz, Kraft Foods, Nabisco Biscuit Co., Pillsbury, Procter & Gamble, and Veryfine Products. The OU certifies over 2300 companies with 4500 plants in 70 countries with a total of over 300,000 labels.

Macaroons! They're just egg white and sugar and nuts or coconut. Best part - you can easily buy them pre-made.

I use Earth Balance soy,dairy free butter substitute in the red and yellow container for all my baking....especially good when used with Betty Crocker and King Arthur mixes...has never failed me. I also use Spectrum dairy,soy free shortening for baking. Spectrum now has a butter flavor shortening, I have purchased it but have not used it yet.I use So Delicious Coconut milk as a milk substitute, and also use Vance's Dari Free. I don't care for rice milk....it is too watery. I'm lactose intolerant and also allergic to milk, so Lactaid milk is out for me also. I made King Arthur blueberry muffins using coconut milk and Earth Balance and they were superb....gluten eating hubby and gluten eating neighbors requested more,more,more.

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By trents · Posted

      The NIH article you link actually supports what I have been trying to explain to you: "Celiac disease (celiac disease) is an autoimmune-mediated enteropathy triggered by dietary gluten in genetically prone individuals. The current treatment for celiac disease is a strict lifelong gluten-free diet. However, in some celiac disease patients following a strict gluten-free diet, the symptoms do not remit. These cases may be refractory celiac disease or due to gluten contamination; however, the lack of response could be related to other dietary ingredients, such as maize, which is one of the most common alternatives to wheat used in the gluten-free diet. In some celiac disease patients, as a rare event, peptides from maize prolamins could induce a celiac-like immune response by similar or alternative pathogenic mechanisms to those used by wheat gluten peptides. This is supported by several shared features between wheat and maize prolamins and by some experimental results. Given that gluten peptides induce an immune response of the intestinal mucosa both in vivo and in vitro, peptides from maize prolamins could also be tested to determine whether they also induce a cellular immune response. Hypothetically, maize prolamins could be harmful for a very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients, especially those that are non-responsive, and if it is confirmed, they should follow, in addition to a gluten-free, a maize-free diet." Notice that those for whom it is suggested to follow a maize-free diet are a "very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients". Please don't try to make your own experience normative for the entire celiac community.  Notice also that the last part of the concluding sentence in the paragraph does not equate a gluten-free diet with a maize-free diet, it actually puts them in juxtaposition to one another. In other words, they are different but for a "limited subgroup of celiac disease patients" they produce the same or a similar reaction. You refer to celiac reactions to cereal grain prolamins as "allergic" reactions and "food sensitivity". For instance, you say, "NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing" and "IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. I need to remind you that celiac disease is not an allergy, it is an autoimmune disorder. Neither allergy testing nor food sensitivity testing can be used to diagnose celiac disease. Allergy testing and food sensitivity testing cannot detect the antibodies produced by celiac disease in reaction to gluten ingestion.  You say of me, "You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant . . ." Gluten intolerance is synonymous with celiac disease. You must be referring to gluten sensitivity or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Actually, I have been officially diagnosed with celiac disease both by blood antibody testing and by endoscopy/positive biopsy. Reacting to all cereal grain prolamins does not define celiac disease. If you are intent on teaching the truth, please get it straight first.

      Perhaps you would still like to answer the questions I posed on this topic, because that is all I asked. I am curious to know the answers to those questions, I do not care about the background of Dr. Osborne as I am more aware of the situation than you are, and he is also one of the best known authors out there on Celiac disease. But did you even bother to read the three Research Papers I posted by NIH? You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant and not yet reacting to all glutens aka grains, but I AM one of those who react to ALL the glutens, and again, that is one of the two questions I originally posted on this matter. NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing. I started with the failed FDA explanation of what Gluten Free is and I stayed sick and got even sicker. It wasn't until I came across NIH's papers and went off all grains that I realized that in fact, I am Celiac and reacting to all the glutens. IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. Those who are just getting started with learning about grains etc., can take it easy by just being "grain free' and eating a lot of meat, vegetables, etc. or whole foods as God has intended, without buying so called gluten free garbage out there that is making them sick and the whole reason they are not better. I tried the stupid gluten free garbage and it didn't work, and that will make anyone want to give up, it is better to teach the entire truth and let the patient decide, rather than give them misinformation and lies.
