Dairy and Gluten free desert suggestions?

[dhutch]

We have a couple coming over, one is dairy intolerant, the other gluten intolerant, so wondering what we can do for desert.

So far we are struggling to get beyond sorbet or baked/stewed fruit both of which are a bit hollow without custard or cream!

Fruit salad. And it’s dessert before someone mentions sand.

Mrs me is them intorerants. Eton mess with soy cream? Or can make a quite respectable crumble topping?

Alpro do really nice cream, custard and dessert alternatives - their chocolate soya pud is especially nice.

Nice meringue with some soft fruit on top and a citrus coulis

So many options! I’m both gluten and dairy intolerant (and eggs and yeast. My life’s one long party!)
Fruit crumble is the easy answer. The others are more complex.
I’d advise having a look at Pinterest. It’s beilliant for this sort of thing!

Such as this if you use gluten free flour - https://pin.it/5ytay2ox5sdwvr

Mrs Teddy Lop here. I can personally vouch for this amazing mousse, made with dark chocolate. Another good one is to buy some gluten and dairy free biscuits (there'll be several in any good free from section in your supermarket) and some dairy free "cream cheese", often coconut based, and knock up some no-bake mini cheesecakes. I like to flavour the "cheese" with amaretto or limoncello.

For an easy option, Booja Booja do fantastic gluten and dairy free fancy chocolates. Almond based cakes with vegan margarine instead of butter can also work. Plenty of options.

SIL does a fantastic sticky toffee pudding, you'd never know it was gluten free. I'll try & dig out the recipe if you like.

I know someone with this PLUs soya intolerance

Check whether the guest is genuinely dairy free or just lactose free. Lactofree milk is just like normal milk, so that opens up a world of custardy possibilities.

Otherwise - interesting recipe for a vegan cheesecake here. Might be worth trying in advance though to check it's not god-awful. https://www.bakerita.com/no-bake-layered-blueberry... You could use gluten free Hobnobs as the base.

Or what about an apple crumble, with a topping made from GF flour and Quaker oats which are fine for coeliacs, served with Ben and Jerrys dairy free ice cream?

[dhutch]

Good suggestions.

I believe they are dairy, rather than lactose, intolerant and typically eat a vegan diet which I guess for desert basically adds eggs to the excluded list.
