I have a few recipes that call for sweetened condensed milk and what can I use in place of it to make it IBS safe?
I also love Cheese Cake, but like many of you I can not eat it without pain. My family's favorite recipe calls for cream cheese and sour cream. What are the subst. for for cream cheese and sour cream?
Thanks,
Barbara

Hi- the sweetened condensed milk usually stumps me. TessLouise, do you have any ideas for this?
For cheesecake, there's a recipe in Eating for IBS that gets raves. It uses tofu (no kidding!). In general, you can use drained silken tofu and a little soy/rice cream cheese to make cheesecakes, and the results will be wonderful. You can also get soy/rice sour cream. You'll probably have to check a health food market but your local grocery store just might have them.
Oh - and if you drain plain or vanilla soy yogurt (I like Silk) in a paper-towel or cheesecloth lined strainer overnight or even for a day or two, it will thicken up and make a great sub for sour cream or cream cheese. Here's a brownie recipe that uses that idea web page
You could use the cream cheese filling here for many other recipes.
Best,
Heather

I've made my own using soy milk powder in place of nonfat dry milk powder in the following recipe. (It does contain 3 tablespoons of butter, but then, sweetened condensed milk itself IS high in fat, so I don't know if you'd want to cut down on the fat too drastically....)
