Ersatz Yogurt
(from Special Diets for Special Kids II)
Ingredients:
3/4 cup DariFree powder
3/4 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup water mixed with 14 Tbs tapioca starch
Method:
Heat juice until very hot but not boiling and combine with DariFree.
Mix well to dissolve DariFree.
Pour mixture into a bowl and add the 2 1/2 cups water.
Heat in microwave for 4-5 minutes until very hot but not boiling.
Stir in the water + tapioca mixture.
It should thicken up immediately as you stir.
If not, heat another minute or so, stirring continuously.
Cool in the fridge for 24 hours.
If you use it before then it will be gummy.
You can stir in some fruit or jam or use as a dressing for fruit salad by thinning with a little juice just prior to serving.
note : I often have to add some extra tapioca to get the consistency I like, so experiment with it and dont' be afraid to add some more if you think it's too runny.
