Hi Bold Bakers! Welcome to the fourth and final episode of my Bold Baking Boot Camp. This week we are learning How to Make Non-Dairy Milk including Almond Milk, Cashew Milk and Coconut Milk. In previous weeks we covered how to make Gluten-Free Flours, a Sugar Substitute Chart and a Weight Conversion Chart, so if you missed those you can always catch up. Whether you are dairy free or not, nut milks have made their way into our everyday diets. We have them in drinks like coffee, smoothies and also curries and soups. They taste great and they are incredibly easy to make. I’m going to show you how to make 3 of the most popular non-dairy milks. We have come a long way in recent years from thinking that dairy free, gluten free and vegan ingredients and recipes are just for those who are intolerant or have a particular diet. Chefs and restaurants have educated themselves and learned how to serve up 5 star food that is geared towards anyone who wants to eat a particular way. I’m fortunate to live in Los Angeles where a lot of this movement started. It goes hand in hand with our healthy living and active lifestyle. That might seem like a very broad statement but I can honestly say it’s true. One of the best meals I have had in Los Angeles was at a vegan restaurant called Crossroads. What was most memorable from that night was the vegan cheese plate with cashew cheese. If you haven’t tasted it before, I would strongly recommend it. It has a lovely soft and smooth texture with a nutty, rich flavor. Important Note: You can replace Non-Dairy Milks for regular milk or water in your recipes. The equation is equal parts 1:1 ratio.
Almond Milk
A creamy and delicious non-dairy milk that is high in protein. Find out how to make Almond Milk.
Cashew Milk
Rich and silky, I like to add this non-dairy milk to smoothies and even dishes like Korma for its nutty flavor. Find out how to make Cashew Milk.
Coconut Milk
This refreshing coconut milk can be used in both sweet and savory recipes like curries and soups. Find out how to make Coconut Milk.
And in case you missed previous episodes, make sure to get my Homemade Gluten Free flours and Weight Conversion Chart. Δ Δ I love your recipes, thank you so much! I have a friend who is dairy free and I sometimes have difficulties finding alternatives to all dairy products (i.e. sour cream, cream cheese or buttermilk). On your website I have found several good alternatives but I was wondering if you could provide a lovely chart as you have made for egg substitutes. Keep up the great work and greetings from Germany!
