45 Allergy Friendly Dessert Recipes means you always have options for a sweet treat whenever the craving strikes!
I don’t personally have any experience with food allergies in my own home, but we know lots of people who do. And even more people who are trying to better their health by eliminating certain foods from their diets! I can’t imagine life without sweets and treats, so I compiled 45 Allergy-Friendly Dessert Recipes for those of you living with a restricted diet.
You’ll find a variety of recipes tailored to different dietary needs. Many of them are free of the Top 8 food allergens, and some of them are simply gluten-free or dairy-free. But I found that almost all of them appear to be easy to adjust to your specific dietary needs,and nearly all of the recipes exclusively use ingredients that are easily found in most grocery stores. Enjoy!
Here are 5 of my favorite gluten-free desserts that don’t require any “extra” gluten free ingredients:
Almond Joy Granola Bites
Brazilian Grilled Pineapple
Grandma’s Monster Cookies
No Churn Ice Cream
Classic No Bake Cookies

Desserts like chocolate soufflé are known to be challenging. Your chances of baking the ideal chocolate soufflé will increase if you carefully whisk and fold the meringue and wait patiently until the buzzer sounds before opening the oven. Meringues are sensitive to humidity, temperature, and movement.
Fresh fruit. Whether it's a cooked-fruit compote, a bowl of chilled strawberries, or an artfully sliced pear on a plate, it's hard to beat fresh fruit for a tasty dessert. ...
Angel food cake. It's low in calories, with no fat. ...
Fruit is served as it is. Peeling or slicing is the only preparation you'll have to do. Unlike the other choices, you'll need other ingredients and some preparation steps before you can serve it. Hence, fruits are considered the simplest dessert among the choices.
A larger person may be able to get away with a bit more, but setting a weekly maximum can help you keep tabs on your sugar consumption. If you are actively trying to lose weight, aiming for once every two weeks or less is ideal. Sugar is problematic for several reasons.
But if weight loss is your goal, you can (and should) have dessert if you want to. In fact, allowing yourself to enjoy dessert can actually make weight loss easier. As a registered dietitian, I think the best dessert for weight loss is a mindful portion of any dessert that you like. Yep, you read that right.
In one study, women who ate at least one serving of peanuts a day had a 20% lower chance of having their gallbladder removed compared to women who rarely ate peanuts or peanut butter. But the evidence is still far too preliminary to recommend any of these foods solely for the purpose of preventing gallbladder problems.
Yes, research shows people who drink a lot of soda and other sugar-sweetened drinks also tend to have more gallbladder problems, including gallbladder cancer. Cutting sweet drinks could reduce symptoms as well as lower your risk for these problems.
A cluster of three genes called the TAS1R family, found on chromosome 1, are responsible for both sweet and savory taste perception. Scientists have discovered that certain DNA differences in one of the three genes—TAS1R3—can make you more (or less) sensitive to tasting sweet.
Is this normal? Science says yes. An international team of sensory scientists published a 2015 study in the journal Twin Research and Human Genetics that sought to find a genetic clue to some people's higher versus lower proclivities toward sugar.
