Dairy free Christmas dessert - help!

16 replies

Ch3wylemon · 18/12/2022 14:00

Had been planning to make a roulade with vegan cream on Christmas Eve but now we're out all day on the 24th so I haven't really got time.

Can anyone suggest where I could buy a dessert alternative to Xmas pudding that is Vegetarian and lactose free? Preferably fresh not frozen as the freezer is already full. I look like I have left it too late to order from most places but can get to Waitrose, M&S, Tesco & Sainsbury's.

Any thoughts? I'd be willing to make something on the 23rd as long as it will keep until Xmas day.

Fingers crossed you can find something on this massive list of 125 vegan desserts bakedbyclo.com/vegan-christmas-supermarket-desserts/

This cake is lovely. Just use lactose free milk and butter

Wowsers! Yes the raspberry thing at the top of the list from Tesco looks perfect.

Thank you so so much! Flowers

You could make a vegan sticky toffee pudding on 23rd and serve with soya cream or oatly custard.

That's a good thought for another occasion sticky toffee is a hit in this house.

Just make meringues instead of roulade and put vegan cream and fruit etc on them on the day.

Is a meringue dairy free?

I'm making dairy free mince pies for my son for Xmas day. Really easy to do

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 18/12/2022 14:34

Yes, @bellac11 - meringues are just egg whites and sugar, so completely dairy free.

I was going to say Cook vegan winter pudding but it’s frozen!

Ch3wylemon · 18/12/2022 14:35

Fortunately both my veggie and lactose free guests eat eggs, so for my purposes meringue is fine.

Is that the one that's like summer pudding? I had looked at that. Have you tried it, I wasn't sure about the cinnamon spice flavours so would be interested in recommendations.

Crumble? That's what my son has requested. He has custard with it but is their a dairy free alternative to custard? Or dairy free ice cream with it instead.

Well she had originally planned roulade so they're the same ingredients.

Zabaglione can be made up to two days in advance.
