Need Dessert Recipe for Child with Egg, Flour, and Dairy Allergies

Dairy? Watch out for butter/margarine too. Search for Vegan recipes to avoid eggs. I just searched and found a nice apple crisp recipe with no eggs but make sure to know what type of margarine to use. Also, have her verify soy milk is ok. Our friend can have rice milk but not soy or dairy.

Good luck. It's hard to do but I like to make nice DIFFERENT food for visiting kids with allergies. They must get tired of the same old stuff over and over.

I regularly substitute applesauce, canned pumpkin, or mashed bananas for eggs (depending on the flavors in whatever I'm making). You can do that for oil, too, if you want to reduce fat.

Eggs are mainly for fat, so you could also increase the oil.

I know a lot of the baking mix companies are now making gluten-free mixes, but they probably still have some milk in them. I'd recommend checking some labels, though. It's worth a try. Then just substitute 1/4 cup fruit puree or oil for each egg.

My son has an egg allergy and my daughter can't eat dairy. So, here's our cake recipe. There's a chocolate version and a spice/applesauce version. Both are light and fluffy and don't need any frosting. Chocolate cake: 1 2/3 c. flour, 1 c. sugar, 1/4 c. cocoa, 1t baking soda, 1/2 t. salt, 1 c. water, 1/3 c. oil, 1/2 t. vanilla, 1T vinegar. Mix together. Bake in ungreased square pan (or 12 cupcakes) at 350 degrees for 35-40 mins. For the spice/applesauce variation: Omit cocoa and vanilla. Add 1 1/2 t. allspice. Reduce water to 1/2 cup and add 1/2 cup applesauce.
Also, there's a recipe book called "Bakin' without eggs". I use it a lot and you can adapt many of the recipes in there so there's no dairy in them. Good luck!

When i make our Pumpkin pie I use 1 Tablespoon of cornstarch per egg and use what ever milk you want. It turns out great. A person can just pour the mix in a baking dish and bake with out a crust. Our daughter likes hers that way best. It will not be stiff till it cools just be cause thats the way cornstarch works.

I don't know how to contend with that combination of things but you can substitute black beans for eggs in brownie recipes. Applesauce is also agood substitute for may fats in baking like eggs and oil.

I am also allergic to wheat and dairy products. Often times I find I can leave the egg out of a recipe and it still bakes well. Most of the time it works to substitute soy milk for cow milk. Here is a recipe I like very much and it needs no cooking:
Pineapple Pudding
Whiz in a blender: 1 can of pineapple 15oz. with the juice
1/2 cup raw cashews
1 cup coconut
1 tsp. lemon juice
If the coconut is unsweetened add 1T. honey

Pour into serving dishes and let it set in the refrigerator an hour or more. If firms up when it sets.
You may top each with a marchino cherry.

My daughter actually has those same allergies. Betty crocker makes cookie and cake mixes now with those allergies in mind. You can use applesauce or bananas for an egg substitute. I tried it and it worked!

don't have the recipe, but there was one in the baltimore sun on wednesday - it was a no egg recipe, but did have flour and milk in it. i am sure you can find it on line.

good luck.

For an egg replacer I used 2 tbs oil for 1 tb baking powder. And soy or rice milk can replace regular milk. I don't know where you live but David's natural market has cake mixes and bread mixes that have no wheat or dairy in them. They are on the pricier side but they are convenient. And betty crocker does sell a cake mix at Giant that is wheat free, i don't know if its dairy free though. My friend made it and said it came out great. Good luck.

There's also a powdered egg substitute that you can buy at Whole Foods called Ener-G Egg Replacer. You can find it in the baking aisle, and use it in place of real eggs in any recipe. Also here are other substitutes: http://www.pioneerthinking.com/eggsub.html

what about jello (not the pudding)?

My son used to have a dairy allergy, but we were also avoiding eggs at the time. I always substituted oil (I used olive oil) for egg.....about 2 tblspn per egg.

One of mine and my daughter's favorite desserts is fruit salad! Simple, refreshing and healthy.
Just cut up a selection of 3 or 4 different fruits, then to keep them from browning and keep it juicy, I put in a can or two of mandarin oranges.
Lovely!

As a vegan, I bake egg and dairy free all the time. If you need something very quick and don't want to bake, you can go into DC and find gluten free vegan cupcakes and other baked goodies @ Sticky Fingers bakery. If you would like to make something, you can go to MOM's and find gluten free cake, cookie and brownie mixes and either use bananas, applesauce, Ener-G egg replacer or flax seed powder(or grind flax seeds and mix into water) for the eggs. We make light and fluffy cakes, brownies and cookies.
Good luck.

Some of my daughters friends have egg allergies so when I make cupcakes for them I use a cakemix and a can of soda--thats all--just 2 ingredients. I beat them together for a few minutes. They make great cupcakes (but does not work as well when making a regular size cake). They make gluten free cake mixes now (I have seen them in the regular grocery store) so you could try using one of those with a can of soda and making her cupcakes. You could make frosting with 10x sugar and crisco or soy cream cheese.

I would make some sort of jello fruit desert myself if thats the case. I would stay away from trying to substitute in recipes because gluten free flour does not behave like regular flour.

Another option would be to do something like strawberry shortcake where the girl can have the strawberries and maybe some jello while everyone else enjoys theirs on the shortcake.

are sure its an allergy and not just something that the child
doesnt like?? lets ere on the side of caution and offer a
dairy free dessert. how about peaches or pears in honey, no dairy in that is the child allergic to yogurt or perhaps goat
milk?? a goat milk, honey and peach shake sounds icky but it
should taste good and she will get the calcium she needs
check the organtic foods website for more ideas

dont forget the blueberries and or stawberries

I take it she doesn't want to make a fruit related dessert? Fruit pies, with the appropriate crust would be fine, or giger poached pears, or something similar would be great. She could always make fresh whipped cream to go with it for those that want it. Fruit in a simple syrup should be plenty safe!

You can also go to Healthway and the Giant in Springfield have mixes for these types of diets. Online at Living Without Magazine (.com I think) has a lot of good recipes for special diets. Since I don't have the egg and dairy allergy, it's a bit easier for me but have found that using their ready made products I can save money not buying all those ingredients that I don't use again and then I can improvise by adding chocolate, butterscotch or other flavorings (in my case pudding) to make it a bit moister. Hope you find one that you really like.
