Non-Dairy Dessert Ideas

Author Francene Marie
What Dessert Is the Healthiest?

Your guests are grateful for bitesize desserts because it feels less guilty. I remember going over to a friend’s house and their idea of a light dessert was an ice cream cake. That consumption of dairy always resulted in a big bang in the toilet room. It’s true! My takeaway is to stay away from serving desserts laced with dairy. I do have my favorites that are hard to give up, like my homemade quiche recipe made with four kinds of cheese, that’s a meal to eat at home only. If you’re invited to a party and a dish is required, make a spicy applesauce cake. It stays moist, and tasty and looks like a carrot cake. Another one is the traditional cookies of New Mexico called Cherry Biscochitos. Taste of Home website has a variety of non-dairy desserts you might like to serve for the holidays. Dairy can cause acne and many more complications, see below.

Dairy can cause constipation, and inflammation builds up mucus and causes the gas and blotting symptoms we hate.  In 2015 a study published by The Journal of Nutrition found that eating dairy foods increased low-grade inflammation. In a study of more than 40,000 people with osteoarthritis that ate dairy products were likely to need hip replacement surgery. Inflation in our body is not a friend because it affects our immune system. To be safe serve fresh fruit with a variety of toppings, like local honey. Have a super fantastic dinner party with healthy choices.

Would You Have Guessed This Is North Carolina’s Favorite Dessert?

We’ve run into a few lists that make us shake our heads over the years. But this one may take the… cake- pun 100% intended. North Carolina’s favorite dessert is not one we would have thought of. Coventry Direct used some interesting methodology to determine the most popular dessert in every state. They took a list of 40 of the most popular desserts and then analyzed Google search terms in each state for those 40 desserts.

While not a bad metric, it does seem to create an issue in states where popular desserts don’t really need to be Googled: Grandma just passes that recipe right on down. But anyway, while most of us might guess chocolate cake, or sweet potato pie for North Carolina, you’d be wrong apparently. Also, Idaho, Minnesota, New Hampshire, SOUTH CAROLINA are y’all ok? The other question I have is what in the world is Texas sheet cake and why is it so popular? Also why is there no just chocolate or vanilla cake or cupcakes on this list? I have to think those are more popular than things that made this list.

But what is North Carolina’s favorite dessert? Well, let’s take a look at the most popular dessert in every state:
