Food = Love Especially if Food Allergy Friendly
Of course, our inspiration for this food allergy friendly recipe comes from my absolute favorite chef: Ina Garten!
If you know Ina, absolutely beloved by all, she is funny & kind. Oh, and her recipes are THE VERY BEST!
When my daughter Katie was 1st diagnosed with multiple anaphylactic food allergies 24 years ago, I frantically was searching for recipes that would allow her to be able to safely enjoy foods she was seeing everyone else eat.
My goal was for:
Katie to be able to never feel left out or that she couldn’t taste something amazing!
As I said to Katie,
I will figure out how to make almost anything safe for her food allergies (peanut, tree nut, shellfish, soy, legumes and now dairy & meat intolerances).
Simple Ingredients & No Special Kitchen Items
Our recipe is simple, easy to make & requires no fancy kitchen gadgets.
It’s dairy-free, can be gluten-free, peanut-free, nut-free (note: coconut is classified as a fruit, NOT a tree nut. However. the US FDA does list coconut under “tree nuts” for labeling purposes. Our allergist early on informed us both coconut & nutmeg are not tree nuts. This is NOT medical advice. ALWAYS adjust for your specific food allergens). And egg -free alternatives here.
If you are newly diagnosed with food allergies, I do recommend purchasing a new baking sheet & don’t use for any of your food allergens like peanut butter & nuts as they have oils & often have sticky residue.
But this is just me!
Of course, if you are using fresh Spring strawberries, this is another delicious Easter dessert option to go along with our Hop To It Easter recipes post.
I hope that this Ina Garten Inspired Strawberry Shortcake Food Allergy Friendly Recipe makes your family as happy as it does mine!
These food allergy friendly Strawberry Shortcakes are SO DELICIOUS, my husband Joe said,
Did you make me 2?!

Make Shortcakes
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Mix dry ingredients together.
- Using 2 forks or pastry blender, cut in cold dairy free butter into dry ingredients until crumbly. I just added to my mixer!
- Stir in dairy free milk and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined. Don't over mix!
- Dump dough onto floured surface and roll with rolling pin or pat down with your hands.
- Using a well-floured water glass or biscuit cutter or if making smaller biscuits could be up to 12 biscuits, cut out shortcakes (see photo).
- Optional: could brush with egg yolk & 1 tsp water & brush onto top of each biscuit for good browning color.
- Bake about 15 - 18 minutes until lightly golden.
- Allow to cool on a wire rack 5 - 10 minutes.
- Assemble in parfait/fancy glasses or on a dessert plate. Have fun with this! In a Martini glass, add a dollop of whipped cream, break apart shortcakes to fit glass, add strawberries & a little of the strawberry juice, more whipped cream & a dusting of powdered sugar. A sprig of fresh mint would be AMAZING!
