Dairy Free Raspberry Gelato {AND Blendtec Giveaway}

This dairy-free gelato is the perfect treat for anyone and everyone!

Did you know that this week (May 10-May 16) is National Food Allergy Awareness Week? It’s time that we can bring attention to food allergies and how dangerous they can be. Today 1 in 13 kids has a food allergy. I am so blessed that my boys don’t have any allergies that we know of (and probably won’t since they eat everything under the sun!) but my sister-in-law deals with food allergies with her four kids every day. That is why today I, along with 6 of my blog buddies, are sharing allergy friendly recipes.

Since summer time is coming up I wanted to create a cool treat that was easy to make and allergy friendly. Most food allergies come from 8 foods: milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat and soybean. I have always been a fan of gelato and when I looked online to see how it was made, almost every ingredient was on the Big 8 list. 

So I got creative and did some research to see how I could get around those. I used soy milk instead of regular milk, (I know soy, but when talking with my sister-in-law she said soy milk is usually safe. You can also use coconut milk) and mixed cornstarch and water to replace the eggs. I was a little nervous as a I put the gelato in the freezer to set up but one bite from my boys and they were hooked! It tasted good! This recipe is so easy to make and with only 5 ingredients it’s easy on the wallet too!
