Looking for some good recipes for Shavuos favorites like "cheese" blintzes, mock dairy dessert items etc... I can get Daiya "cheese", tofutti cream cheese and sour cream, and sometimes can find tofutti ricotta. I can't eat dairy and DH is particular to have meat at every YT meal but would love to surprise the family with some 'dairy like' foods.

Already have a great Parve cheesecake recipes but anything else would be super.

there is a recipe for a cheesecake trifle that I made using tofuti cream cheese somewhere on here.

I take any dairy recipe and convert it using Tofuti or Diaya or any parve yogurts

Tofutti makes:

ice creams
cream cheese
sour cream
ricotta cheese
ready cheese blintzes

Diaya makes:
shredded cheese
wedges of cheese
cheese slices
parve cream cheese that is milk AND soy free (will be out in the summer)

So Delicouse and Almnod Dream:
different yogurts and stuff

between all that you can usually convert any recipe. I'm thinking of doing cheesecake truffle pops next. I also saw a recipe for pecan pie cheesecake I want to try.

the Daiya stuff is more savory so isn't really for dessert but you can make mini cheese calzones or something to serve as a side dish

I need to make some non-dairy "dairy" dishes (since we have some dairy allergies). When using substitutions for dairy, do you use equal amounts?

Also, can you please post the pareve cheese cake recipe? TIA

Buy the ready made tofutti blintzes instead of making your own.
Be careful how you defrost them. Follow instructions on the box. They are best just defrosted and eaten as is.

I used to put the tofutti cheese blintzes on a George Foreman type grill in camp. they where delicious.

yes I use = amounts to real dairy but I do add some lemon juice (a tip I noticed Ra_mom mention somewhere on the forums)

I just made some oreo cupcake cheescakes in parve and the best compliment was 'are you sure its parve'? I made it myself in my fleishig oven so it better be parve Smile

I doubled the vanilla and put in 2 teaspoons lemon juice. used tofuti products instead of dairy and the jewish company imitation oreos. I did add an extra 1 or 2 to the crumbs. I didn't taste yet the finished product but whoever did was thrilled. (why am I on a diet before shavues?!?!)

I understand that some parve versions are disappointing. I am looking for the non-dissappointing ones. I've been by kiddeishim where the ladies are arguing over whether the cheesecake is dairy or parve (and there's a little parve sign there they aren't noticing...) that's the type of recipe I'm looking for. Not that I'd know the difference as long as it tastes good, but the others will.

I found the recipe, but I see you've made some suggested alterations. So, how do you make it now? How long do you bake it and do you leave it in the oven longer? Did you ever make the cupcake version?

I make a parve blintz casserole using apple blintzes (or whatever fruit you like) and the tofutti sour cream in the batter. You can use a regular blintz casserole/souffle recipe and just substitute the sour cream.

Here is a dairy mushroom quiche recipe that I've done pareve and it was great:

2 large sauteed onions
7 pieces of American cheese cut into small pieces
2 small cans of mushrooms
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs

Mix the eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, and salt. Add onions, cheese, and mushrooms. Pour into pie shell and bake at 450 for 10 minutes or 350 for 30 minutes.

I've made it without the cheese altogether, meaning no cheese substitute at all, just left it out totally, and used soy milk instead of real milk, expecting it to be bland because what's a mushroom cheese quiche without the cheese?? but surprisingly it came out great! This year I think I will try it with a cheese substitute and see how it will come out (hopefully even better!). I'm not so familiar with cheese substitutes but I did see something in the grocery that looked like an American cheese substitute. It was a package of individually wrapped pieces; not sure if it was soy or a smart balance kind of thing or what.

In any case, enjoy Smile
