Allergy Friendly Easter Recipes

24 Mar Allergy Friendly Easter Recipes

Here are a few allergy friendly Easter recipes.  Kids are often more interested in eating new foods if they help make them. So this is the perfect opportunity to get the kids involved! Have fun making the rice krispy eggs  or the birds nests.

Dairy-Free, Egg-Free Flan

2 cans of unsweetened coconut milk

2 Tbsp agar agar flakes

1 Tbsp triple sec

¼ cup of light agave nectar

1 cup sugar

In a heavy saucepan, heat the sugar by itself on med-high heat.  Let it melt and caramelize.  When the edges go brown, take the pan off and swirl quickly.  Pour it very quickly into a 9*13 pyrex and spread it as much as possible before it starts to harden.  Set aside somewhere warm.

Pour the two cans of coconut milk in a heavy saucepan and whisk.  Bring to a boil.  Add agave and whisk in completely.  Add agar agar.  Bring to a boil.  When it has reached a full boil, lift off the burner and whisk quickly.  Set the pan back on hot burner and bring to a boil again, then immediately turn heaet down to medium to the let the custard simmer gently until all of the agar agar has dissolved, another 10 minutes or so.

Pour this very hot custard into your prepared pan.  Let it cool a bit at room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 hours.  This makes a very thin, flat flan.  Serves 10 with small pieces.
