What products can i replace cream with in my cooking?

My daughter is 11 months old and has a milk allergy.She is currently on soya formula and that works fine.I am originaly from sweden and there we have a lot of oat based products like cream , milk, vanilla sause, cooking cream, ice cream.But i don't seem to find any products here i can use in my cooking and baking.She has her first birthday coming up and would love to make a cake with whipped cream but at the moment it is looking like it will be a cake with soya ice cream but that is not really what I want.I feel very limited in my cooking to.


Hope anyone can help me!What products can i replace cream with in my cooking?

My daughter was also allergic to milk and on soy formula. We found many alternatives at Whole Foods/ Wild Oats. Those are the large organic grocers in Colorado. To the best of my knowledge, Whole Foods is at least across the United States. If you're not in the US, I would look for a similar type of grocer in your area. There are also vegan cookbooks which can be quite helpful. Just please don't expect it to be exactly the same. Nothing will be exactly like the food it is replacing, but often the difference is so negligible as to be unnoticed. Since vegans (unlike lacto ovo vegetarians) eat no animal products, cookbooks geared towards that lifestyle often have creative and tasty substitutes. As for the birthday cake issue, you might consider using a soy cream cheese icing instead of the whipped cream frosting. The effect would be similar in appearance and the flavor wouldn't be too much of a departure depending on how you sweeten and flavor it. As for the daily cooking, have you tried simply using soy milk to replace milk in recipes? I have found that to be a simple and generally successful method. Would I simply substitute in a recipe calling for heavy cream, no. However, my daily cooking doesn't call for heavy cream. Hope that at least gets you headed in the right direction. :-D
did you know that Cool-whip is a non dairy product?


it and other brands are sold in the frozen foods section of the grocery store.


My son is also allergic to Dairy ,hes a teen now and ive always used the frozen whipped topping with good results.


however if you live outside the USA Im not sure if it is available.


or perhaps youd like to make it yourself so I found this recipe for you and copy/pasted it.


good luck.





Coconut Whipped Cream


1 can unsweetened coconut cream or coconut milk


1/3 c powdered sugar


录 c soymilk powder


2 t vanilla powder/ 1 T vanilla sugar (if used, decrease sugar slightly)


Put can of coconut cream/milk in fridge for 4 hours.


Open can, and remove the thick part at the top. Save the rest for other uses.


Put thick coconut cream into a chilled metal bowl.


With chilled electric beaters, beat cream until thick and fluffy.


Gently beat in remaining ingredients.


Cover bowl, and chill.


Use on fruit, cake, pie, etc, just before serving.


Store in fridge.


Use as soon as possible.


*For a stiffer topping, whip in some softened vegetarian gelatin.


Peace %26gt;%26lt;%26gt;
you have not mentioned your current location country.
how about merangue? you can also try to thicken the soy milk with carageenan or guar gum. that makes a sort of whipped cream.
Since you are dealing with an allergy in a very small child you will need to sacrifice what you WANT with what you must do. Since your daughter can not have milk make a chocolate frosting with confectionery sugar, cocoa powder and perhaps raspberry juice or even plain water or soy milk as the liquid. Until she is a bit older you will have to be careful with what you introduce into her diet. There are more and more soy based products available and thus you may consider yourself ';lucky';. There are those who can't use the soy product either and must make sure that no one who has had a sip of milk kiss or touch their child because of a severe milk allergy and can not themselves use any milk product because they are breast feeding.





I do empathize with the dilemma of not being able to use milk products in your cooking, continue to look at the available soy products, rice milk and almond milk. I would not introduce almond milk to your daughter without permission from her pediatrician due to allergy concerns.
