Dédé Wilson — Wed, 24 Jul 2024 12:47:39 +0000

We love peanut butter. We love chocolate. And we eat bananas pretty much every day. Bring all of these together in our Low FODMAP Frozen Chocolate-Dipped Peanut Butter Banana Bites and you have a frozen treat that is easy to make and really satisfying. Perfect when we want something sweet, chocolatey and low FODMAP; and they happen to be dairy-free and gluten-free, too. Clear a space in the freezer and let’s make these family-friendly treats. For years we have seen versions using Greek yogurt and berries (often strawberries or raspberries) dipped in chocolate, and while there are low FODMAP servings of dairy-yogurt, raspberries and dark chocolate, we wanted to try a version using our favorite alt dairy yogurt, Kite Hill Plain Unsweetened Almond Milk Yogurt, along with the beloved combo of bananas and peanut butter.

Low FODMAP Chocolate Thin Mint Cookies – Girl Scout Copycat

Dédé Wilson — Fri, 26 Jan 2024 11:00:00 +0000

Our version of Low FODMAP Chocolate Thin Mint Cookies is a Girl Scout copycat, made gluten-free! A crisp chocolate cookie, flavored with peppermint, fully enrobed in chocolate, further enhanced with mint. I originally developed this recipe for Bon Appetit magazine in 2001 but updated it to be gluten-free and low FODMAP diet compliant. I served these to many non-special diet folks, and everyone raved. Take Advantage of Make-Ahead Steps There are several do-ahead steps, which makes this recipe easier than many other renditions. We have seen many versions that have you roll out the dough, cutting out the cookies with a cookie cutter, but I found that forming a roll and creating a slice-and-bake approach is much easier. Making Low FODMAP Chocolate Thin Mint Cookies For Cookie Dough: Whisk flour, cocoa, and salt in medium bowl to blend; set aside. Using electric mixer, beat butter in large bowl until smooth. Beat […]

Low FODMAP Rocky Road Fudge

Dédé Wilson — Wed, 22 Mar 2023 16:54:51 +0000

Our Low FODMAP Rocky Road Fudge features low FODMAP amounts of dark chocolate, mini-marshmallows and pecans and takes advantage of DIY lactose-free sweetened condensed milk. Once the lactose-free sweetened condensed milk is prepared, the recipe takes about 5 minutes to make and then it just needs to chill. UPDATE: You can now find lactose-free sweetened condensed milk! Is Fudge Hard To Make? Nope! This fudge is so easy, so foolproof, that even if you have never made candy before, I guarantee great results! How can you pass that up? The chocolate combines with the sweetened condensed milk to make a creamy fudge that also just happens to be very quick to prepare. FYI, if you have heard that fudge is difficult to make, then those comments were most likely in reference to classic fudge which involves true candy-making skills, a candy-thermometer and a good chance at the mixture crystallizing and […]

Low FODMAP S’Mores Cupcakes

Dédé Wilson — Wed, 15 Mar 2023 19:43:50 +0000

We have S’Mores Chocolate Chunk Cookies and One-Bowl S’Mores Brownies, so what was next? Low FODMAP S’Mores Cupcakes, of course! They start with a low FODMAP, gluten-free graham cracker crust baked underneath moist, dark chocolate cake that is so easy to make, you can whisk it up by hand in a bowl. The crowning glory is a homemade, fluffy, marshmallow frosting. Leave as is or garnish with a small piece of milk or dark chocolate, graham cracker and mini marshmallows. What Are S’Mores? Classic s’mores (a contraction of “some more”, as in gimme some more!) are made around a campfire – graham crackers and thin slabs of chocolate at the ready. Marshmallows are toasted to one’s preferred level of doneness and that hot gooey lusciousness is added to the crispy cookie and soon to be partially melted chocolate. They wait for no one. Eat the concoction immediately. Some folks make a sandwich with top and bottom graham crackers; […]

Troufakia – Low FODMAP Chocolate Walnut Truffles

Dédé Wilson — Thu, 03 Feb 2022 11:00:00 +0000

Troufakia – a classic Greek confection – are the easiest truffle candy you will ever make; and they are spectacular. You start with a simple ganache of dark chocolate and cream to which you add chopped walnuts, liqueur, and crushed cookies – in this case purchased gluten-free shortbread. Rolled into balls they can then be coated with the cocoa powder or elegant chocolate vermicelli as we have done here, or even coconut or more chopped nuts. Read up on chocolate, cocoa, alcohol and coconut and get ready to get your hands dirty – in a good way (coated with chocolate)! Plan ahead as you might need to order the gluten-free cookies and also the mixture has to chill before rolling. Classic Troufakia As with so many classic dishes, there are certain ingredients that you will always find in troufakia, but beyond that it will vary cook to cook. Dark chocolate, cream, crushed cookies (usually Petit Beurre biscuits), walnuts and […]

Low FODMAP Hot Chocolate Truffle Bombs

Dédé Wilson — Mon, 03 Jan 2022 14:51:03 +0000

We think our Low FODMAP Hot Chocolate Truffle Bombs are the easiest, best and most fun way to make rich, chocolatey homemade hot chocolate. The bombs are made with just chocolate and cream! Ganache Is Versatile Ganache is a combination of chocolate and cream and is often used for cake and pastry glazes and for truffles, but it is quite versatile – like for making hot chocolate! Read on… It is not unusual for me to have extra ganache in the refrigerator (I know, I know, my fridge is not the typical fridge), and it was that treasure trove that led to this hot chocolate truffle bomb “invention.” Necessity Is The Mother Of Invention When my twins were young and wanted hot chocolate, one day I just scooped some ganache into a mug, topped with milk and microwaved until hot, stirred until blended, and voilà, truly delicious hot chocolate prepared in record time.

Low FODMAP Chocolate Whiskey Balls

Dédé Wilson — Tue, 09 Nov 2021 11:00:00 +0000

These Low FODMAP Chocolate Whiskey Balls are easy to make and are based on low FODMAP cookie crumbs, ground pecans, dark chocolate and whiskey and taste just like the classic holiday treat. In fact, these are based upon my original recipe for Low Chocolate Bourbon Balls from my book, A Baker’s Field Guide to Christmas Cookies. No-Bake, No-Fuss This no-bake confection seems to always find its way into cookie collections since it is easy to prepare and makes a great holiday treat or gift. In addition to the crushed cookie crumbs, ground nuts, sugar, chocolate and whiskey, a little corn syrup is used to help the mixture hold together and gives them a pleasantly chewy texture. Regular corn syrup is low FODMAP and not the same as high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), by the way. You can also use golden syrup, which I highly recommend – more info on that below. Plan Ahead These are best if aged […]

Low FODMAP Chocolate Dipped Truffles

Dédé Wilson — Sat, 06 Feb 2021 11:00:00 +0000

Yes, you can enjoy truffles on the low FODMAP diet, and we can’t think of a more direct way to enjoy dark chocolate than with a couple of our Low FODMAP Chocolate Dipped Truffles. These truffles are rich and dark through and through from a silky ganache center to their crisp outer chocolate shell. For an easier version, check out our cocoa dusted Low FODMAP Dark Chocolate Truffles; these are a little fancier and require tempering. How To Make Low FODMAP Chocolate Dipped Truffles Make the Ganache: Place cream in a large saucepan and heat over medium heat until cream just comes to a simmer. Remove from heat and immediately stir 1-pound (455 g) chocolate into the hot cream. Cover the pot and allow to sit for 5 minutes; the heat should melt the chocolate. Stir very gently until smooth, but so not whisk, which would add air. Pour mixture into a […]

Almost Instant, 3-Ingredient Low FODMAP S’Mores

Dédé Wilson — Sun, 26 Jul 2020 10:00:48 +0000

S’Mores always make us think of camp and sitting around a fire. S’Mores, in case you don’t know, are a classic American combo of graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows. Thankfully, we have come up with a quick n’ easy version that is not only low FODMAP, but you can make it in your kitchen – no campfire required. Low FODMAP Graham Crackers The moment we learned about Nairn’s Gluten Free Oat Grahams we got so excited! All those times we like (need) graham crackers, like when making a classic NY-Style Cheesecake – or for treats like these S’Mores, and now we had a low FODMAP version. The ingredients are Gluten Free Whole Grain Oats, Palm Oil, Sugar, Golden Syrup, Tapioca Starch, Raising Agent (Sodium Bicarbonate) and Sea Salt. Golden syrup, by the way, has been lab tested and is low FODMAP in small portions of 7 g portions (not becoming […]

Low FODMAP Chocolate Sorbet

Dédé Wilson — Wed, 22 Jul 2020 10:00:59 +0000

Our Low FODMAP Chocolate Sorbet just might be the perfect dairy-free, lactose-free and gluten-free dessert. It is rich, chocolaty, almost as creamy as a high fat ice cream, and will most definitely satisfy your dark chocolate cravings. It contains both dark chocolate and cocoa for a decadent dessert. You do need an ice cream maker. Revisiting A Classic My second cookbook was Bake It To The Limit (1999) and there is an entire section on ice creams and frozen desserts. I love chocolate sorbet made with cocoa and chocolate so much, that I included two different versions in that book: One I called Rich Bittersweet Chocolate Sorbet and the other was Lighter Bittersweet Chocolate Sorbet. At the time I truly couldn’t decide which I liked best. The richer one was decadent and certainly satisfies any chocolate lover. The “lighter” one, which was still seriously chocolaty, was preferred by some taste […]
