Dairy free puddings?

[Chelsea26]

Hello

I have friends coming over for dinner tomorrow and one of them is lactose intolerant. All fine with starters and main but struggling with pudding?

Apart from fruit salad which feels a bit boring - any ideas?

I’d probably make a cake with vegan butter/spread or olive oil

Fruit jelly made with sparkling wine.

Swedish glacé with raspberries or strawberries.

Pears poached in red wine or baked peaches.

I made a pecan pie with a vegan crust, it was delicious! It went down really well, and used the oat custard (which was delicious).

Just buy one of those lovely vegan Gu deserts.

Anything vegan would work.

Desserts*!

Most shop-bought puff pastry is dairy free, so perhaps apple tart realfood.tesco.com/recipes/apple-puff-tart.html

This is also a fairly easy but impressive pudding https://realfood.tesco.com/recipes/dairy-free-bakewell-tart.html

lemon meringue pie works really well dairy free. Also any fruit crumble, use margerine instead of butter.

Look up pareve desserts - they will be dairy but not egg free.

Make a cheesecake with coconut cream (tin of full fat coconut milk with the watery liquid drained off) instead of cheese. Make sure dairy free biscuits for base.

Or a glass with fruit, sorbet, coulis and wafer/biscuit artfully arranged?

Coconut collaborative make delicious chocolate pots.

I've made a quick chocolate mousse before whipping the Elmlea double cream with some melted vegan chocolate. Serve with fresh raspberries. Takes two mins

oatly custard + fruit crumble (replace butter in crumble obvs)

Just check the bread doesn't have milk powder or whey in it.
