If you have been searching for the perfect dairy free dessert recipe to treat yourself to, you’ve landed at the right place.
Why we Need Dairy Free Dessert Recipes
We all need a little treat now and then, and not all of us tolerate dairy for a variety of reasons. Since a lot of “traditional” desserts include butter in the ingredients, desserts that are made to be dairy free can be a lifesaver! When looking to make a dairy free dessert, we recommend making one that is designed to be dairy free rather than substituting something for butter or omitting butter from a recipe. You never know how that will turn out.
Tips for Dairy Free Baking
My biggest tip would be to find naturally dairy free recipes or recipes created to be dairy free to try. Then you don’t have to worry about converting recipes and finding suitable substitutes. That’s why we created this roundup! All the recipes are dairy free and ready for you to enjoy! Just a note to remind you that eggs are in fact not dairy. It’s easy to get confused or think of them as dairy since they are typically located near the dairy at the grocery store, but they are not a part of the dairy family. Here are my favorite dairy free baking products that are used in some of these recipes.

A quick note on ghee…if you see a recipe with ghee in it, we do often consider ghee dairy free since the milk protein is removed, which is typically what people have a sensitivity to. If you can’t do ghee, you can always replace ghee with coconut oil in these recipes. Looking for more? Check out this roundup of 50 Healthy Desserts!
