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

Anytime I meet someone with food allergies looking for great recipes, I send them to my good friend Megan at Allergy Awesomeness. Her repository ofactually-tastes-good Top 8-Free recipes is unparalleled in the online recipe universe. Definitely bookmark her site if you’re in need of some great allergy-friendly recipes!
But I know sometimes you just need some great grab-and-go options that don’t require any time in the kitchen. So, in addition to the 45 recipes below, I’ve also compiled a handful of Top 8 Allergen Friendly snacks and treats that you can buy on Amazon.

Cook allergy-friendly dishes first; label and clean all surfaces and utensils after doing so. Wash your hands before and after coming into contact with the allergen. Keep foods covered to avoid cross-contamination through splatter.
The short answer is no. Cooking (even when using really high heat) does not reliably destroy food allergen proteins. In some instances, cooking may even increase the allergenicity of a food, as found in this peanut study.
Apples. An apple a day may actually help keep allergies away because apples are high in quercetin. Quercetin is found in other foods such as berries, capers, grapes, cabbage, cauliflower, onions (especially red onions), shallots, tea and tomatoes.
Specific desserts you'll likely want to avoid include cream-based treats, piecrusts, icings, and desserts with chocolate, alcohol, and mint, says Gillian Culbertson, RD, a registered dietitian with Cleveland Clinic's Center for Human Nutrition. “Think no cheesecake, chocolate cake, mint ice cream, and so on,” she says.
The simplest dessert and one of the best are fruits because they are nutritious, appetizing, and easy to prepare and serve. Baked and soft custards vary in so many ways. Creamy, delicate, baked custards may be served in their baking cups or may be unmolded and served with fruit garnishes or with dessert sauces.
English sweets included many types of cakes, custards, and fritters such as funnel cake. They used strawberries, apples, figs, raisins, currants and almonds. They also made cheese-based sweets including cheesecake.
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.
