Df Cream Cheese Frosting

This is what I tried.

8 oz Toufutti Better the Cream Cheese

1/2c Earth Balance Butter repalcement

Vanilla

Powdered Sugar

I think because of the water content in both the cream cheese sub and the earth balance the sugar dissovled. The frosting did not thicken up at all no matter how much powdered sugar I put in. I even tried using more cream cheese but to no avail. In the end it had a good taste and I had lots of frosting but it was more of a thick glaze than a frosting.

Does anybody have any idea on how I can thicken the frosting up or can I no longer have cream cheese frosting :(

I feel sad that your strawberry cake and frosting are a "mess". :(

Maybe you could find a frosting on one of these links or some tips:

My dd doesn't like cream cheese so I just buy Pillsbury vanilla. What if you beat together Pillsbury vanilla (if you can have it) and the tofutti? You could try a sample.

Put some sliced fresh strawberries on your cake and frosting :)

Hi ChrissyB,

I'm not Dairy Free nor Vegan, but here's a couple of products that may help.

The first thing that comes to mind is to add coconut flour, since it soaks up a lot of liquid. However, I think I'd also probably not add any margarine, as that will remain soft unless kept very cold. So I guess I'd try that first, and if it needs the extra stiffness, then add the coconut.

Thank you all so much for your help. As I have found out cooking dairy free and gluten free is a trail and error but it a has been fun for the most part. I just have to remember to laugh and not get upset when things don't work out.

I remembered where I found this recipe...in a Pillsbury cookbook I bought about 25 yrs ago.

So simple:

Beat together 1 can Pillsbury vanilla ready to spread frosting with 3 oz. softened cream cheese on low speed until smooth.

I don't know how it will work with a df sub.

Hope it works for you!

I make this recipe all the time for cookies/carrot cake. I also use Tofutti and Earth Balance subs. It's worked great every time. My gluten/dairy-eating relatives can't tell the difference.

Gluten Free Cream Cheese Frosting

(from the website www.eatingglutenfree.com)

8 oz. cream cheese

      It's also a symptom of EPI.

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.
