Really Yummy Frosting Recipes


Katsby

Recommended Posts

Katsby Apprentice

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

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
