Veganize it
ОглавлениеVegan cupcakes—made without dairy or eggs—are part of the culture now; almost every little bakery seems to have at least a portion of display case space set aside for vegan customers. And with the prevalence of high-quality vegan ingredients available, making your own at home poses no problems.
Just follow this chart to fully veganize any recipe in this book (any ingredient not listed in the table is already vegan). Keep in mind that some recipes are easier to veganize than others, depending on which ingredients are called for.
| Original | Vegan Substitute |
| butter | vegan butter sticks, such as Earth Balance Vegan Buttery Sticks |
| eggs | egg replacer, such as Ener-G Egg Replacer. Alternatively, use arrowroot powder (2 Tbsp. for 1 egg), widely available at supermarkets |
| milk | plain soy, rice, oat, flax, or almond milk |
| egg whites | egg replacer, such as Ener-G Egg Replacer. Alternatively, use arrowroot powder (2 Tbsp. for 1 egg) |
| heavy whipping cream | coconut cream (the creamy part in a can of coconut milk; 1:1 substitution). Alternatively, use blended silken tofu for a milder tasting, low-fat option |
| sweetened condensed milk | simmer and whisk soy milk in a saucepan, adding sugar, until it boils down to a thick, gooey consistency (2½ cups condenses to about 1 cup after about 2 hours) |
| chocolate (bars, chips, melting wafers) | dark chocolate (any bar that does not list milk as an ingredient) |
| lemon curd | zest and juice of 1 lemon (to taste) plus 1 cup filler (soy, rice, oat, or almond milk; alternatively, coconut cream or silken tofu) plus ½ cup sweetener (maple syrup, superfine sugar, or agave nectar) plus 4 Tbsp. thickener (corn starch, vegan butter, or arrowroot powder), blended together |
| sour cream | vegan sour cream, widely available at supermarkets |
| cream cheese | vegan cream cheese, widely available at supermarkets |
| digestive biscuits | vegan cookies (vanilla wafers, for instance) |
| crème fraiche | Use a 1:1 ratio of soy yogurt or soy sour cream with soy cream cheese. Alternatively, blend together one package of silken tofu, ¼ cup nutritional yeast, and a small amount of sweetener |
| marshmallows | vegan marshmallows, widely available at supermarkets |
| sugar paste/fondant | any fondant or fondant mix that does not contain gelatin (check ingredients lists) |
