Чем заменить сыр? Coconut Cream
Such a versatile food! Allow a can of coconut milk to settle (about ½ hour). The coconut cream will rise to the top and can easily be skimmed off. Substitute equal parts coconut cream for the milk cream in recipes. This work particularly well in sauces. Of course, already prepared Coconut Cream can be purchased in stores or online.
Pureed Tofu
Blend Silken Tofu until smooth. This works as an excellent substitute for milk and cream when a thickener is needed in sauces and soups. Choose medium firm or firm varieties for a thicker “cream”. Pureed tofu can be substituted for heavy cream using a 1:1 ratio and is a much healthier, lower fat option.
Soy or Rice Milk plus Oil
Blend 2/3 cup of soy or rice milk with 1/3 cup melted dairy free margarine or oil (we like extra light olive oil for cooking). This will equal 1 cup of heavy cream for your recipes, but it will not whip.
Pureed Tofu
Blend Silken Tofu until smooth. This works as an excellent substitute for milk and cream when a thickener is needed in sauces and soups. Choose soft varieties for a lighter “cream”. Pureed tofu can be substituted for light cream using a 1:1 ratio and is a much healthier, lower fat option.
Soy or Rice Milk plus Oil
Blend ¾ cup of soy or rice milk with ¼ cup of melted dairy free margarine or oil (we like extra light olive oil for cooking). This will equal 1 cup of light cream for your recipes.

Растительные масла / Cooking Oils
This can take some experimentation, but oil can be utilized for butter, even in baking. Obviously oil will work great anywhere butter is called for in sautéing or roasting. However, in baking much less oil is typically required, as it will yield a somewhat “oily” product if you use a 1:1 ratio. As a fat equivalent, they say that 7/8 cup vegetable oil equals 1 cup of butter. One of our staff baked cookie bars using ½ cup of extra light olive oil rather than the 1 cup of butter the recipe called for. The results were slightly more dense, but gobbled up quickly and with many smiles. If a recipe specifically calls for melted butter, then you can replace it with the equivalent amount of oil.
Фруктовое пюре / Fruit Purees for Baking
Blend up that apple pulp or a handful of prunes and you have an excellent, healthy butter substitute for baking sweets and quick breads. In fact, pureed bananas, pineapple, and pears also give an excellent “fat” consistency to recipes with an added jolt of health and flavor. We have a few tips to help maximize your results:
- Because the fruit will add more sweetness than butter, reduce the sugar in your recipes a touch.
- Think of the flavor of your recipe to judge which fruit flavor will work best. For example, prune puree works particularly well in chocolate desserts, such as brownies; and pineapple can add a tropical flair to most quick breads.
- Use ½ cup of pureed fruit in place of one cup of butter. You may need to add a tablespoon or two of vegetable shortening or oil back into the recipe to achieve the best results.
- If you don’t have fresh fruit on hand, drained applesauce, strained baby food fruit, or a puree of water with any dried fruit (apples, apricots, peaches, etc.) will work in a pinch. See our Prune Puree recipe below for dried fruit help. Or, try a mixture of ½ cup applesauce and ½ cup vegetable oil as an excellent replacement for butter in cakes and quick breads.
- You may choose to use a straight blender puree, or get a little fancy with one of the recipes below.
Apple-pear pureeDried fruit puree Homemade Corn Buttery Spread
Ingredients:
- ¼ cup Yellow Cornmeal
- 1 cup Water
- ¼ cup Soy, Rice, or Oat Milk
- 2 teaspoons Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 2 Tablespoons Unsweetened Flaked Coconut (check the bulk foods for an inexpensive option)
Directions: Cook the cornmeal and water in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until it becomes “mushy”. Combine with remaining ingredients in a blender, and process until smooth.
Margarine or Vegetable Shortening
Most non-dairy margarines and vegetable shortenings work well in baking, cooking, and/or as spreads. Several non-hydrogenated brands are listed within our
product lists, such as Earth Balance / Smart Balance.
While margarine can be substituted one for one with butter, it is most often noted that you may reduce the amount of vegetable shortening by up to ¼ cup for every 1 cup of butter that a recipe calls for. However, I have successfully used as little as ½ the amount called for on many occassions.
