In search for allergy-free sweets

Having severe allergies to items commonly used in baking is a challenge when you crave a treat or when you throw a party for your kid. Of course the surest way is to make your own desert.  For example, in an earlier blog I shared an amazing chocolate cake that we did for our daughter's third birthday.

Another go-to healthy desert is this luxurious chocolate mouse that only takes a few minutes to make.

Ingredients (makes 2-4 servings):
1 avocado
2 tablespoons of cocoa powder (make sure to read the package that it's dairy free)
2 tablespoons of honey

Instructions:
Place cleaned avocado and the other above mentioned ingredients in a blender (I love our Vitamix) and let it blend into a rich mouse.

Optionally you can spice it up with cinnamon or chili powder.

Serve:
You can serve it as is or you can put fresh berries (raspberries is my favorite choice) on top.

It's healthy and absolutely delicious.

But I've also been researching places to buy an allergy-free candy when on the go or when time is of the essence or when you want to change things up a bit.

I've come across these links below:

  • caution: look out for legumes (like Guar gum, e.t.c. if you / your child has a legume allergy)

For M&M replacement - check out Whizzers Chocolate Beans (I'm still tracking down how one can buy these in the US, they are UK-native)
