Really Yummy Frosting Recipes

I've been baking gluten free cupcakes and I really want a homemade from scratch frosting recipe. The problem is I tried the kind that asks for shortening, vanilla, confectioner's sugar, etc. It just has a fake taste to me. I really have been trying not to eat dairy so it kind of limits what I can put in it (ie: butter). Does anyone know of a frosting recipe that is both tasty and dairy-free and also not premade or from a mix?

I will look around this weekend and see if I can find something. I have an allergy cookbook that has various recipes and how to alter them.

Have you experimented with coconut oil or milk yet? If you are doing chocolate you can make a fake 'ganache' with gluten free choc. chips and some sort of liquid... I always just suck it up and do confectioner's sugar :lol: . (shortening makes me gag) so I like to use maple syrup or honey depending on what I am eating. I did a rum-maple glaze once for a pumpkin spice cake and it was yum! I use honey on applesauce cakes and that is really delicious.

I wonder what would happen if you tried whipping coconut milk with eggwhites. Adding some natural flavors and sweetener to that.

How about White Mountain Frosting or Seven Minute Frosting? I'd make it with cream of tartar and substitute vanilla beans for the extract.

recipezaar#300324 has a recipe for vegan chocolate frosting. You might be able to get creative and make different flavors with it like vanilla or peanut butter.

I used to make a frosting with 1 cup milk, 1 sm. box instant (any flavor)pudding and 8oz. coolwhip... but I don't know if that will suit your needs. Whisk milk & pudding, fold in topping. Store in fridge.

I am reading a bunch of good recipes from Open Original Shared Link

She has some frosted cake recipes that sound good. Maybe you can make them dairy free.

Have fun experimenting!!! :P

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
