I was just wondering the same thing myself the other day. I by Silk brand soy, and they do a "creamer". I wonder if that would work?
i dont know. ive been doing it with parve whip topping and im not happy with the results. im wondering if it is better to use rich's coffee creamer??
I'm curious what you are using for your chocolate, since chocolate normally has milk. Are you starting with cocoa powder? What else?
Would love to learn more
Sorry I can't contribute to your question.
There is lots of chocolate out there that doesn't have milk. Semi-Sweet and Bittersweet are often dairy free.
Rose Levy Barenbaum has a sour cream ganache frosting which I made a time or two with Tofutti's Sour Supreme (or Better Than Sour cream--I can't remember which) It is not really meant to be a pouring consistancy--she mentions that it pipes well, but if you used it a little warmer and maybe used a little additional "sour cream" I wonder if it would pour.
Non dairy wipping cream mixed with dark chocolate and some gloucose makes perfect ganache. Exelent for parve cakes.
I have used Silk coffee creamer and it works
Is Rich's similar to Silk? I haven't tried that yet.
Just be careful you read your labels...none-dairy does not mean dairy free!

What is a parve cake
I use the Rich's whipped topping with no problems. I get the concetrated type which you then have to dilute with a little water. I would think that the creamer would be more like milk.
What do you use instead of white chocolate? I find the parve imitation white chocolate to be too sweet in ganache.
You could stretch it out by adding some cocoa butter and some powdered soy milk. I agree it is very sweet. This is what I plan on trying as soon as it gets cool enough in FL to order the vegan white chips and cocoa butter. LOL
Parve - certified absolutely no dairy by Kosher standards.
Thank You

Thanks itsacake! Guess I need to read packaging more often. It's not all MILK chocolate!
Like Sadsmile said...non-dairy does not mean dairy free. It may be ok if someone is just lactose intolerance, but not ok if someone is actually allergic. The standard brands grocery stories carry say non-dairy but they actually have Cassein (a milk protein) in them.
I have a weird non-allergy reaction to milk and the non-dairy creamers still manage to affect me just as much as yogurt or cheese would.
you could try a water ganache.
There isa discussion on egullet about it

by glucose do you mean corn syrup?? I just got an order for a parve and soy free cake - so can't use soy milk. Are your ratios still the same as a regular ganache or does it change with non dairy creamer?
Does anyone know if the ganache made with non dairy whipping (rich parve whip) has to be refrigerated? I've made gum paste decor and so don't want to refrigerate the cake!
