    Yep, Kandi -- I made it before church on Sunday for DH's early birthday meal. He decided he wanted a pie after having the German Chocolate cake (not pictured to protect the clumsy cake decorators!). So it needed to cool in a safe place. And of course Mr. I'm-on-a-diet-and-I-don't-eat-many-sweets sneaked back in after lunch and ate a HALF A PIE all by himself. Yikes!

    I have never made cherry pie before but I wanted to try for the 4th of July. My son is allergic to wheat, eggs, peanuts and tree nuts. I am a bit intimidated about making a pie crust since it needs to be wheat free.

    Have you tried aquafaba yet? It's the juice from cooked chickpeas/garbanzo beans. I've made a meringue pie with it and it turned out well. There are tons of recipes online for using it as an egg and egg white replacer. Here's a blog post from KFA: https://community.kidswithfood...-that-will-shock-you

    DS created a trifle for his birthday. Layers are Golden Oreos, cherry pie filling, cool whip, caramel and a chocolate drizzle.

    Thank you for sharing these tips and recipes! When I have to make one in a rush--I put a box of Enjoy Life soft baked cookies (gluten, dairy, egg, nut free) into a bag and smash them up...then I just press them into the pie plate! The snickerdoodles are great as a base for pumpkin pie!

    Thanks for sharing those tips! I've found they feel a little sticky when they first come out of the oven, but then they are OK after they cool. The last time I made some, I flavored them with lemon extract. They were sooooo good and tasted like a lemon meringue pie cloud!

    Couple of questions: 1) How long can this safely be stored in the fridge (i.e. could I make it this weekend and use it in a recipe Tuesday night?) 2) I suppose this could also be used as a base in a pot pie recipe for leftovers next weekend - if it does store, or can it be frozen? and 3) Does the coconut taste come through? (not a coconut fan...) I have never made a green bean casserole but now I want to try!

    Wow KFA, Wonderful work, it looks yum. I really loved this. My kids would love to make these. Last week, bought some organic dark chocolates on Sarah’s birthday. Next time would love cooking out this at home.

    Hi MRios, Since cocoa butter comes in irregularly-sized solid chunks, weighing is the best way to get the right amount. The recipe will forgive you for slight variations in weight (say, if your kitchen scale isn't super precise) but I'm afraid I don't have a volume measurement for the cocoa butter--and that could change depending on how finely you chop it. If you don't have a kitchen scale, maybe you could borrow one? (And just use a bowl or waxed paper to prevent possible CC from the scale?

    Thank you so much! That helps a lot, I'll see if I can find one at Walmart or Michael's so I can get a candy thermometer, too. My niece has dairy, egg, nut allergies so I'm really excited to make her some goodies for Christmas this year! Thanks again!

    I'm late coming back to the party here, but that's so awesome of you to make special chocolates for your niece! I hope they turn out great!

    @MRios26 , did you ever find a candy thermometer? Don't forget to check it first by bringing water to boil and seeing what temperature it registers at boiling. You can figure out how much it's off by adding or subtracting that figure from 212 - water's boiling point.

    @MRios26 One caveat to @K8sMom2002 's comment about the temperature water boils--this temp depends on elevation. I bake in the Mile High City, water boils a whole 10 degrees cooler up here due to less atmospheric pressure above me. If you aren't near the coasts and want to check your thermometer, google the water boiling point at your elevation first before assuming your thermometer is wrong.

    How soon in advance of Easter do you recommend making these? Thanks so much for the instructions. Can't wait to try it our for my 3 yr-old. He told me he can't wait to see what bunny comes for Easter when we passed the chocolate bunnies in the supermarket. So the pressure is on for me to deliver.

    Hi Amy, I would probably make them a week or two before Easter--more like two if you think you might need to melt a few down and try again. But make sure you plan enough time that your kiddo will be unable to stumble upon you in the kitchen. The younger they are (the bunnies, not your child), the less likely they are to bloom if you overheated your chocolate, so no need to start now unless you want to make a lot or eat all the evidence But you can go to your local hobby store or cake/candy...

    Ever since the white kosher for Passover chips I used to buy were labeled for shared lines I have been bummed about missing white chocolate for my daughter. This is a great and timely and well done post with step by step instructions and explanations and pictures! Thanks so much. It could have come from my other favorite site "cooking for engineers". And I mean that as a compliment!

    Cool! My chocolate coins started melting when the boys handled them (prob b/c i added coconut oil). Will follow these melting instructions instead! Any idea on how to make a stuffed bunny? My boys love Sneaky Chef No Nut Butter - would like to fill their bunny w/ that. Thanks.

    I've made filled chocolates before. It's best with a deeper mold like an egg. What you do is fill the mold with melted chocolate and let it sit for a minute. Then pour out the unset chocolate. This will leave a "shell" of chocolate in the mold. Add your filling (I'd use the nut butter, powdered sugar mixture from something like Buckeyes http://www.kidswithfoodallergi...name=Mock%20Buckeyes ). Don't add too much filling. Tap the mold gently to settle things. Then cover with melted chocolate.

    Hi @makadela ! I hope you have fun with this! I was going to suggest making a hollow bunny as per instructions above, poking a hole in the bottom to pipe in a filling, and then covering the hole with more melted chocolate. @Kathy P 's idea will probably work better, but this might work for sophisticated shapes. We'd love to hear how it works, and see what you create! Don't forget you can add pictures in the comments!

    Thank you @Gloria ! I'm the daughter of an Engineer and I'm likely raising an Engineer, so I get what you're talking about. I definitely have an experimental mind I hope you enjoy and yes, we'd love to see your creations!

    Am I mistaken, or does the label clearly state both that it contains cashews and almonds and also that it is processed on shared machinery and may contain fragments of other tree nuts? I am not trying at all to be snarky, just wondering what I am missing here as I try to check labels and check the recalls monthly, if not weekly for my son's allergies. Thank you.

    That's a really great question! The issue is that it doesn't declare cashew and pecan separately. The FDA labeling requirements are that the specific nuts must be specified - https://www.kidswithfoodallerg...-protection-act.aspx Edited to add: I do see where it specifies cashews, but maybe they are also present in another item. I don't know.

    Now that is awesomesauce! Yes, no problem on swapping out the thickener for the pie filling -- potato starch or arrowroot flour work well in fruit fillings!

    Looks so delicious! Here is a link to the Wholly Gluten Free pie crust I believe you used in case anyone is interested

    Oh this looks so delicious and I bet no one will be able to tell that it's dairy-free. I've made dirt with the CocoWhip before and it was a hit. Love how you can make it festive for the upcoming Memorial Day and July 4th holidays, and use any combo of berries you like. The idea of making it into a frozen berry pie using graham cracker crust sounds dreamy!

    💯👍
    I believe the most important thing is to read the labels!! And when it says "made in a facility", it means that if you are allergic to something under that statement, you can assume that it will be in that product!! I found that the hard way!!
  • Blog Post Comment
    Reading labels is absolutely key! It is important to remember that those "shared lines" and "shared facilities" statements are voluntary and not required. They are also not standardized to have the same meaning from product to product.
