Dairy Free Almond Shortbread

Jump to Recipe
Dairy Free Almond Shortbread

Dairy free shortbread is an absolute Christmas favourite, Christmas without shortbread just wouldn’t be the same.  It’s been quite a tricky job getting the recipe right for dairy free shortbread – getting that crumbly buttery consistency isn’t a case of just whacking in some dairy free margarine.  Most dairy free butters don’t have the same sort of flavour as butter. No point in denying it, Vitalite or Pure are great, but the consistency is one of margarine, not butter.  We have found a product from Naturli that is amazing in terms of texture and flavour.

Dairy Free Almond Shortbread Allergy Mums

It’s got Almond which is obviously fine for almond shortbread, not safe to use in other baking for those with a nut allergy.   However, for making dairy free almond shortbread it’s fabulous.  If you can’t get it, don’t worry. We’ve done our shortbread with other spreads and the inclusion of semolina still creates a lovely shortbread.

We did two different shapes for these shortbread. The rather traditional almond crescent, and then a snowball shape which is a bit more fun for the kids. All rolled in sifted icing sugar while still warm. Delicious!

If you fancy a nut free, dairy free shortbread check out our recipe here:

Dairy Free Almond Shortbread

These are wonderful, almond shortbread. Rolled in icing sugar and shaped into snowballs, or crescents. One of the nice things about shortbread is that its quick and easy to make.

Dairy Free Almond Shortbread Allergy Mums
Ingredients
  • 1 Cup Dairy Free Butter (Naturli is best if you're okay with Almonds)
  • 6 tbsp sifted icing sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup ground almonds
  • 1/4 tsp almond essence
  • 1 3/4 cups sifted plain flour
  • 1/4 cup Ground Semolina
  • 1 tsp ice water if needed
  • About 3/4 cup sifted icing sugar to roll the cookies in
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C 350°F
Step 2
Cream the non-dairy butter and icing sugar together
Step 3
Add in the vanilla and almond essence and mix
Step 4
Stir in the flour and ground almonds until you have a stiff dough. Add the ice water if needed
Step 5
Shape the dough into crescents or balls and bake for 13-15 minutes on an ungreased baking sheet. Roll in sifted icing sugar while still warm and cool on a wire rack. You get messy hands doing the shaping and rolling but that’s all part of Christmas!

Coriander Chicken

Grilled Coriander Chicken

Summertime is when simple meals are a good idea. No slow cooked casseroles, or heavy meals. We like lighter food in the summer, marinated and grilled on the BBQ under under the grill in the oven. This dish fits the bill perfectly, simple, fast and packed with citrus and coriander.  Simple and packed with citrus […]

Vegan Fudge

Vegan Fudge

I love fudge, its such a great candy.   Our other recipe creates a lovely fudge, but it’s a harder consistency. This one is softer, and easier to make.  Its very quick, and you can add in nuts, raisins, or flavourings such as mint, or orange if you like. A quick and delicious fudge, with a […]
