Ok, I made Panna Cotta with coconut milk. Super easy! I substituted coconut milk for cream, vanilla extract for vanilla bean. http://www.lowcarb.ca/karen/recipe016.html I nuked it in the microwave instead of cooking on the stove top. Made it in about 5 minutes.

It is really tasty with berries!

Hi everyone. I know that I am coming in here a little late, but you guys should check out www.elanaspantry.com. She has alot of great recipes on her site. I have made her blueberry muffins, the blondie's, and her cupcakes with frosting. All were really good.

^^Her site is beautiful! I just can't tolerate the carbs she can. Agave has a ton of fructose.

That panna cotta looks delicious and easy, Nancy. I've never had it. Is it like pudding?

Karen describes it as "vanilla ice cream on the verge of melting". Which it is like, well the one made with cream is, once you set decant the ramikin (after putting it in a hot bath for a minute). The geletin loosens and melts just a bit.

For the coconut one though I liked it colder, it covered the coconut flavor a bit and let the vanilla come through. So it was more like a cross between pudding and jello.

Default Coconut Cake

I made this cake yesterday and I think it's exceptionally good. I used toasted unsweetened coconut (from King Arthur Flour), toasted almond flour (also from KAF) and four tablespoons of powdered erythritol. The recipe calls for three tablespoons of sweetener, but that would be barely sweet. Even with four it's lightly sweet.

If you make it, line the base of the springform with parchment in addition to greasing the pan.

link to recipe for coconut cake

Coconut Cake

Ingredients

* 1 cup egg whites (approximately 8 eggs, or use Just Whites)
* 1 tablespoon ThickenThin not/Sugar thickener
* Sweetener equivalent to 3 tablespoons sugar
* Pinch salt
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 3/4 cups dried unsweetened coconut
* 1/4 cup ground blanched almonds

Directions

Makes 16 servings.

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease an 8-9 inch springform pan.

1. Beat egg whites with ThickenThin not/Sugar thickener, sweetener and vanilla until stiff. Fold in remaining ingredients as gently as possible.

2. Place in preheated oven, turn off heat and leave to bake overnight.

Note: ovens vary in the rate at which they lose heat so, if it comes out too moist, give it more time at no more than 300°F and next time, allow it to bake for a few minutes before turning off the oven.

If you want a smooth-textured cake like a birthday cake, use the finest-ground unsweetened coconut you can find, or run it through a food processor or blender; it will work even if it feels wet. Coarser flakes makes something more like a coffee or snack cake.

Store under refrigeration.

Default Paleo baking

OK, I'm not really into baked goods but I'm going to have to learn. I've just started my 19 month old at playgroup and within 20 minutes of arriving she was given full sugar squash (diluted fruit syrup) and several biscuits. I had no idea that they'd be shovelling them full of sugar and she'd been given it without permission from me

So I need to come with my own biscuits and ask for water next time.

Thing is I've got to make them dairy free and ideally grain and soya free too, and a lot of the recipes on the general recipe forums contain dairy. The only gluten free dairy free stuff I can find in the shops usually contains soya and buckets of sugar (and often corn syrup too).

I've seen Nancy's almond thins recipes but does anyone have any other recipes, for cookie, cake and bread substitutes. I thought maybe you guys could point me in the rit direction.

Why do you have to provide biscuits? We send our kids to playgroup with beef jerky - it keeps just as well as biscuits.

Also - check out this wonderful blog, "Healthy Indulgences" - it's all low-carb, and it's gluten free. Plus, she takes the time to provide dairy-free alternatives in her recipes as well. It's a beautiful blog.

http://healthyindulgences.blogspot.com/

She posts here as 'lcstudent' and some of her photos of her recipes are in the recipes/food section of the gallery on here.

It's more that if I supply baked goods then my little one is eating something similar to the other children. She only came to us a month ago (we're adopting) and is used to eating baked goods, even though she's supposed to be fed dairy free due to allergy.
