Are you or someone you love dairy free?
Do you love chocolate fudge? Just because you’re dairy free doesn’t mean you can’t have chocolate or fudge for that matter.
Our son is dairy free and we like this brand of chocolate chips Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips.
We add these dairy free chocolate chips to cookies, muffins or cakes and you wouldn’t know they are dairy free.
They are great too if you need a small dairy free chocolate fix. I’m sure I am not the only person to sneak a few chocolate chips straight from the bag. We used Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips in our chocolate fudge recipe below.
what does dairy free mean?
For those that don’t know or are unaware dairy free means you are avoiding dairy milk of any kind in your diet due to food allergy or choice. Being dairy free means avoiding cow, goat and any form of animal milk in your diet.
how to go dairy free?
People who are dairy free opt for soy, oat or nut milks to replace all milk in recipes, added to cereal and added to coffee. They also replace yogurt, cheese and other dairy products with soy or nut type replacements.
In our home we use coconut, almond and soy milk depending on the person and the recipe. We use coconut yogurt, Daiya cheese and cashew nut based ice cream.
