As I go along I am starting to 'develop' a process of Dissecting and then
reassembling recipes.
Lets start with a SIMPLE &
fairly common easy to make lovely little dessert -
Easy no Bake parfait.. (its
quite yummy all on its own!)
https://www.justataste.com/easy-no-bake-cheesecake-parfaits-recipe/
but for our purposes may be bit
too complicated
The required sugar, lemon
juice/zest, vanilla (tho i would use best quality)& fruits present no
particular problems.
and the Cream Cheese. now that
I know i can make homemade cream cheese i dont see this as a major barrier
we have the choices of Goats Milk Cream Cheese, Coconut Cream
cheese & Vegan Cream Cheese (note that this recipe DOES use Cashews) one of
our taste testing days will compare the 2 & possibly 3 of them..
Mind you this is somewhat a more complicated looking recipe.. its unlikely
I will want to do this myself.. but its Certainly looking interesting.

Now
to the GRAHAM CRACKERS:
·
·
I
have found One retail product Enjoy Life Handcrafted Crunchy Cookie, Vanilla Honey Graham, Gluten
Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free & Soy Free, 6.3 Ounce (Pack of 6) that claims to be
·
ALWAYS Free-From:
gluten, wheat, dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, egg, soy, fish, shellfish
·
Products made without
casein, potato, sesame and sulfites
·
Allergy-Friendly,
Verified Non-GMO, Certified Gluten-Free
It Sounds pretty good. Until you realize at at least 160 servings
& each box costs just under $15 each- this is definitely not the solution
to this problem..

UNTIL you read the “other ingredients:
Other Ingredients:
Rice flour base (brown rice flour, white rice flour, tapioca
starch, sweet rice flour,
xanthan gum), organic non-GMO butter, brown sugar, sorghum flour, gluten-free oat
bran, molasses, organic non-GMO honey, gluten-free natural flavors, grainless
and aluminum-free baking powder (sodium acid pyrophosphate, potato starch,
sodium bicarbonate), baking soda, cinnamon, sea salt.
Allergen Information: contains milk. Both are Allergy products
for the some of the guests
So what alternatives are
there..
1 suggestion included: .
Cold Cereal
Look no further than breakfast for lots of crunchy options for
pie crust. Grind up granola, crispy rice cereal, or cornflakes together= the rice
cereal looks hopeful.. I will come back to this in another post..
The last item in the recipe is whipped cream..
At this point in my breakdown I am being reminded that we are
going to feed a minimum of 150 guests, and until I know otherwise about the
venue I MUST assume refrigeration is not an option until told otherwise. The
levels of complication & cost factors have taken this standby appetizer and
dropped it to the bottom of my 3rd level list..
Its probably a no-go.. but it HAS been MOST educational..
