Dairy-free desserts for the whole family

Dairy-free baking swaps butter for olive or coconut oil, milk for oat or almond milk (or a swap if someone has a nut allergy), and cream for whipped coconut. These treats are dairy-free as written.

What Gluten watches for: butter, milk powder, whey and casein in chocolate and packaged baking mixes.

Dairy-free desserts cooking questions

Is dark chocolate dairy-free?

Often, but not always: many dark chocolates add milk fat or are made on shared lines. Check the label for milk, whey and casein.

Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice. Recipes are checked against the restrictions you enter, but always check labels for allergens and cross-contact, and talk to your doctor or dietitian about your diet.
