Condensed Milk

Yes, you really can make a dairy-free version of this and it is just as tempting to stick your finger into as the tins of the real thing! The only slight drawback is that this is not a quick thing to make and you do have to stay with it at all times. However, it […]

Chocolate Crème Brulée

Goes down a storm and you can’t tell it’s dairy-free. Down sides? Expensive and fiddly to make.

For this recipe you will need a smallish basin and a saucepan to make a bain marie, a large mixing bowl, an electric hand mixer, a second saucepan and 6 ramekins about 2″ / 5cm deep by 3″ […]

Chocolate Fingers

These are sticky and very more-ish.

For this recipe you will need a medium to large heavy-bottomed non-stick saucepan (you do all the mixing in this so it needs to be big enough), a food processor or a rolling pin, a wooden spoon and a baking tray measuring 12″ / 30cm by 8½” / 21cm.

This is a simple recipe which is easy to prepare and looks impressive – always a good combination!

For this recipe you will need an 8″ / 20 cm diameter sandwich tin and a food processor. The tin needs to be at least 1½” / 3 cm deep to give you a reasonable depth of […]

For this recipe there are two alternative methods: with and without a food processor. Both ways give […]

Chocolate Log

This is every bit as delicious as the original (indeed, the original swiss roll is fat free in the first place). The icing is the adjusted part.

You must be organised to make a good swiss roll. Don’t start this recipe without reading it all the way through first. You must have everything you […]

Custard

“Achieving dairy-free custard which will pass muster in comparison with the real thing is possible. It’s taken me about four years of tweaking to get the recipe right, but now I have something which even sceptical non-dairy-free relations have to admit tastes very much like proper custard. ”

That’s what I said about four years […]

Tiramisu

I have to confess to being rather proud of this one. I’ve fed it to friends without any indication that it was dairy-free, and they couldn’t tell. So, if you’ve been hankering after the indulgent creaminess of this dessert, you need hanker no longer!

For this recipe you will need a small dish/bowl, a medium/large […]
