Dairy free puddings

[airliebird]

Hi

My daughter may or may not have a problem with dairy and we are in the process of finding out.

She is now on Pepti milk by C&G so hopefully this will make a difference to her.

I am currently struggling to find anything other than fruit to give her for her pudding - is there anything i can make that is dairy free and would appeal to a 9 month old ???

Any ideas appreciated

Hi, My son has a dairy allergy, he is on SMA wysoy, but he doesn't really llike it, so i'm still breast feeding him. ~I found it hard to find different puddings etc..
I make alot of my own but i just use different fruits really. But i have just found these, i know thet say breakfast i thought at least i will taste alittle different with the cereal. My son also loves the Apple & Strawberry with real apple pieces. I can't really think of anything else. I will let you know if i do, i look forward to seeing others ideas.

You can make rice puddings, using flaked rice, or pudding rice, and rice milk. I stir in some coconut milk at the end sometimes, or a spoonful of manuka honey instead of sugar. It's quick to make on the hob, or follow the recipe on the side of the pudding rice packet! If you're using the oven approach, add extra rice milk as it absorbs quicker.

I also make upside-down cakes, using a non-stick muffin tray. Make a standard cake mix using Pure sunflower marg rather than butter or spread. You can also use an equivalent volume (to weight) of light olive oil. Grease the tin and drop a spoonful of treacle in the bottom, add a spoonful of finely chopped pineaple (or a strawberry, raspberry or blueberries) and pop two spoons of the cake mix on top. 10 mins at 170degrees and yum! Do remember to let them cool well first! Hot fruit and small children not a good mix. You'll also need a hot flannel at hand afterwards for sticky fingers/face/head! Not a frequent dessert choice perhaps, but great when you're having visitors as everyone loves a cake! Get a baking sheet and tip the whole tray on to it and they should just slide out...tho you may need to experiment a few times with this one!!

Have fun!

You could test her with an Alpro soya yoghurt. My son couldn't tolerate these, something to do with the protein chains in soya being very close to the protein chains in milk. He was OK with the long life soya puddings, but I dropped those too anyway!

I have just discovered Dairy Free Choc Buttons in the free from range at Sainsbury's - great to make cookies with or have as a treat! Also if you look closely at the ingredients on some of the good quality Dark chocolates they shouldn't contain milk, they may say they've been prepared where milk is present but depending on severity of the allergy this may still be tolerated. My daughter can eat it in small doses or if it's cooked, I use it for chocolate cakes or other chocolate desserts (for Easter we used it to make nests), without adverse reactions!

Thanks for the upside down recipe on previous post - will try that one out!

We are just going through this with my youngest. Saw a dietician this week and I said I was struggling with puds. She said Birds Eye custard powder ( it's all cornflour and flavouring) use oatmilk ( found in long life milk section) or whatever you are using if suitable. Can use oatmilk for rice puds too.

I have some dairy free margarine and going to make fruit crumbles.

We have just discovered the dairy free buttons too! And they taste ok really. Waitrose had some 'smarties' too!
