Dairy Free Deserts

[littlegreenfairy]

Going to friends tonight for the first proper dinner in their new house. I will be making the pudding - all is well I thought. Thought I'd just let them know what I was doing - turns out she can't eat dairy (or wont, just to be difficult, but thats another story)

So I'm buggered now.

Any suggestions?

Work has come up with:

A banana and some nuts for her, us to eat the profiteroles as planned

A tin of peaches for her, us to eat as planned.

Poached pears.

HELP.

What is provamel??

Nice thinking tho - I'm still stuck in the summer pud rut, but bearing in mind its foggy and cold I think I can break out the winter puds

How about meringues and raspberries? Leave the cream to one side for those that will eat dairy...

[bobthemonkey]

waitrose used to and probably still do a dairy free 'ice cream' in a black, ortahedral tubs - cant remember the name but tasted quite nice.

I think the Sahara is dairy free....

Great ideas

Just had a text to suggest sticky toffee pudding and icecream. (apparently real icecream is no problem)

I had a feeling the "no dairy" was just for show

Therefore I'll be making it with clotted cream and serving with clotted cream icecream.

Never the less I've got some ideas for non dairy stuff for the next time.

If its one thing I can't abide its people who don't eat things just to be seen not to. grrrrrrrr

It is quite likely

Take a selection of cheeses and some nice biscuits to enjoy with them. That'll piss her off.

Crumble is your best bet; but you don't have to restrict yourself to apples. Rhubarbs & plums also make an excellent filling for crumble

Dairy Free Chocolate Cake, haven't got the recipe I normally use but just googled it and came up with this which is pretty similar

Does it really taste better with muesli?

Did you sprinkle the cinnamon on top or mix it in with the mixture instead of sugar?

Coat the apples & blackberries in cinnamon & demerara sugar, use oats/muesli with more demerara sugar mixed in for the top

I use Flora in any case; it makes a fine crumble mixture

I thought it is made using sunflower oil?

Or my favourite - porridge oats.

Mix it in and sugar

Oh for crying out loud!

Dairy free - but ice cream is OK!? Is she vegetarian apart from fish, sausages, bacon, steak, and veal?

Tin of Kwik Save No Frills fruit salad for her, something lovely for the rest of you

Or just eat whatever you like but don't write down in your diary.

Beer.

No dairy in that... in fact it's basically hops... which are clearly healthy, natural ingredients...

some study was done a while ago to prove that sailors from hundreds of years ago could have survived on beer alone!!!!

It saved the lives of brewery workers in London last century as the local water supply was contaminated with typhoid. Only people to survive were the brewery workers as they only drank beer
