Eugene, OR – Manufacturer Launches World’s First Non-Dairy Creamer Made with Coconut Milk - From America’s most innovative dairy-free foods company comes something truly unique – an all natural coffee creamer made with coconut milk.
 
So Delicious® Coconut Milk Creamer is the latest addition to Turtle Mountain’s portfolio of dairy-free inventions.  From ice cream to yogurt to kefir to coffee creamer, the manufacturer showcases coconut milk as a highly versatile base ingredient. Coconut milk gives the creamer a clean, slightly sweet taste with a creamy mouth feel that is distinct from soy based products currently on the market.  “We are merely responding to the demand from our consumers for delicious alternatives to soy and dairy products,” says John Tucker, Vice President of Marketing.  “Not only does coconut milk have a delicious taste, it also possesses unique health benefits.”

Up to 75% of the world’s population is lactose-intolerant and this number is on the rise.* With food allergies and intolerances to gluten, dairy, wheat, and soy growing rapidly, more and more people are having to make adjustments to their daily diets. At the slightest hint of a food allergy or intolerance, the first casualty on the menu is the dessert. Sweets, cakes, ice-creams, and pastries are all considered to be “off-limit” to those suffering food intolerances and are an enjoyment that has to be denied.

Chef Ariana Bundy is determined to bring desserts back to the menu. A top pastry chef and intolerant to dairy herself, Ariana Bundy has conjured up more than 100 gluten-, soy- and lactose-free recipes for cakes, biscuits, desserts, truffles, ice-creams and more, in her book Sweet Alternative. Developed through years of research and recipe testing, this book is the first to reveal how to make professional-looking, mouth-watering desserts without using butter, cream, flour, or soy, and with ingredients easily accessible to the average consumer.
