In my ongoing quest to find non-dairy, corn-free food that Lane can eat, I've invented a new dessert recipe (not like a 1-year-old needs more dessert options). So, here it is:
Pina Colada Parfait
Jell-O Layer:
1 large box pineapple Jell-O
1 small can mandarin oranges
1 small can crushed pineapple
Make Jell-O according to package directions. Add drained mandarin oranges and pineapple. Pour into a pretty dish and let set.
Coconut Custard Topping:
2 1/2 T tapioca starch (or cornstarch)
1/2 cup sugar
1/8 t salt
1 can coconut milk (Chef's Choice brand is best)
2 egg yolks
1/4 t vanilla
Combine tapioca starch, sugar, and salt in saucepan. Add coconut milk and cook over medium heat until mixture thickens and boils. Temper the egg yolks by adding a little of the hot liquid to the yolks in a separate bowl, and stirring them quickly. Then add yolk mixture back into saucepan. Cook another 2 minutes, being careful not to boil or curdle the eggs. Add vanilla. Cool to room temperature.
When Jell-O is set, top with Coconut Custard. Let chill 2 hours, and enjoy. YAY!!! A yummy, creamy dessert that is non-dairy!

Good job! Very impressive! So...I know a girl in my ward who is allergic to milk too...I should ask her for tips for you! What's up with the corn thing? No corn? Hadn't heard that one. hmmm.
Yep, no corn. It's in everything from vanilla extract to plastic bags, to hot dog buns and baby formula (and, of course, in fun things like popsicles and fruit snacks). I just found out it's even in her diapers, so we just switched brands yesterday. She gets a rash whenever she eats it. We're hoping she grows out of it.
