Dessert

Giving up dessert is not necessary with alpha-gal syndrome. What changes is the ingredient list.

Many conventional desserts rely heavily on milk chocolate, butter, cream, and other dairy — which puts them off-limits for many people with alpha-gal. But with the right swaps, alpha-gal friendly desserts can be every bit as rich, indulgent, and satisfying as the originals.

Alpha-gal dessert recipes use plant-based milks, dairy-free butter and chocolate, eggs, fruit, and other mammal-free ingredients to recreate the treats you love — or introduce you to new favorites. Most of the 60+ alpha-gal recipes in this collection are already dairy-free or include tested dairy-free options, so you can bake and share with confidence.
