Dairy Substitute Recipes - Using DariFree, NotMilk, NotMilk LowFat or Flavor-Fresh

Softserve Ice “Cream”
200 ml liquid Vance’s DariFree (Regular or Chocolate flavour)
one 400 gram (14 ounce) package soft tofu (your favorite brand)
1 cup of sugar (or equivalent honey or sweetener of choice)
flavouring of your choice if desired and appropriate for diet (extra chocolate or cocoa, maple syrup, vanilla, fruits)

Mix DariFree according to instructions on package, using 20% more powder than usual for a creamier taste if desired. In a blender thoroughly mix all of the ingredients introducing some “air” into the mixture. Place mixture into a serving container and freeze, stirring every two hours. Ready for the kids after 3 to 4 hours in the freezer. Make it the night before for convenience!

Creamy Jello Dessert
8 serving package of Jell-O gelatin
500 ml Vance’s DariFree Regular Flavour
fruit chunks or pulp, if desired

Stir 500 ml boiling water into the jelly powder. Orange, lemon or pineapple jelly are favourites for this recipe. Then add 500 ml of DariFree. Mix well, add fruit, then let mixture set up for 2 hours in the refrigerator. The mixture will seperate into layers, creamy on the top, jelly on the bottom. Serve it as is or use an electric mixer to whip it until it’s smooth and creamy (if you’re going to whip it, leave the fruit out until after whipping). Return to refrigerator until ready to serve.
As an alternative use grated carrots with orange jelly for a salad dish.

Medallion Muffins
250 ml Vance’s DariFree
1/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar (or your favorite equivalent)
2 medium eggs or equivalent egg substitute
1 cup Gluten Free Flour (your favourite base and brand)
1/4 teaspoon Salt
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoon Vanilla
flavouring, spices if desired and appropriate for diet

Cream together sugar and shortening. Beat eggs into mixture. In a seperate bowl sift together the flour, salt and baking powder, then add to the egg mixture, alternating with adding the Vance’s DariFree. Don’t overbeat (best by hand rather than using a mixer). Stir in vanilla and flavourings/spices. Pour into greased muffin tin or use paper muffin cups. Bake in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes or until a tooth-pick comes out dry. Makes 12 smaller muffins, 8 large ones.
