Anyone know of any good dairy free recipes....?

[Emilysmummy10]

just been put on a dairy free diet and just interesed to see if any one knew of any nice recipes? especially desserts as i have a massive sweet tooth and im really struggling to find desserts that dont have dairy in them going through around a bar of dark chocolate every day, i should mention im not allowed soya either

OH no!!! That's really hard one. Check out vegan recipe sites, I've made vegan carrot cake for my friend and it was really nice. If you're not allowed soya you can just try to use olive spread or something like that instead of butter for cakes.
I'm not helping here much but if i were you just try and look for vegan recipes, can add an egg to it that will always make cakes taste better...

I struggle with this too.

Swedish Glace ice cream available for Sainsbury is made of Soya and tastes good. Alpro Soyo Cream is a good alternative to pouring cream but never tried whipping it - I dont think it will. Alpro Soya Custard is also very good and really tastes like normal vanilla custard made with milk. Alpro Light UHT milk is good in coffee with good filter coffee made strong it is much like European coffee.

I cannot use butter so use Pure Dairy Free margarine. I use it in baking as well as for spreading.

Mostly, I bake all my own cakes and puddings so I am sure it does not contain dairy (or gluten flour).

Have you tried Oat Milk? You can get oat milk and oat cream (Oatley) which you can then use to make up nice puddings (I can only find the cream in Waitrose or online but the milk is in most supermarkets). I use a mix of the milk & cream to make custard (you have to use the powder not instant stuff as this has milk in it). You can then add cocoa or nesquik if you want other flavours (chocolate good!). I put it all in the fridge to set so it is more like a yoghurt or moose. I also use the cream to whizz up with some frozen fruit for a fruity yoghurty type thing...

I do quite a lot of vegan baking, using Pure sunflower spread (no soya and not to be confused with their soya spread version). A few things I do involve soya milk, but I'm sure oat or rice milk would work just as well.

What sort of cakes, biscuits or puddings would you normally go for? Let me know if you'd like recipes for any of the following -choc/vanilla/carrot/ginger/lemon/apple cake; choc/choc chip/oat and fruit cookies; date slice, flapjack, shortbread, choc refrigerator cake; fruit crumble, pear tartin, choc sponge with choc sauce, sticky toffee pudding...
