Dairy free alternatives
The user is seeking dairy-free alternatives to heavy cream, evaporated milk, and sweetened condensed milk due to their partner's lactose intolerance and their own severe coconut and cashew allergies. They specifically want alternatives that can be used to make stable whipped cream for toppings and soups, similar to coconut cream. The user also inquired about using coconut flavoring with a dairy-free milk if the recipe calls for it, such as in mango sticky rice. They are looking for an evaporated milk substitute and opinions on sweetened condensed oat milk. Additionally, they are interested in whether dairy-free cream cheeses are suitable for making crème brûlée cookies and for general melting cheese needs like on pizza. The user hopes to find options that allow them and their partner to enjoy the same dishes without compromising their dietary restrictions. They are open to trying new alternatives and appreciate any successful suggestions.
