With my growing dairy intolerance, I have been frustrated by not eating my usual Mint Milkshake on St. Patrick's Day. Knowing my family, celebrating St. Patrick's Day is a huge event because of our family heritage. I thought really hard, and I finally came up with this dairy free dessert!
Irish Mint Mousse
Need:
Double Boiler or a 2 quart pan and a glass/metal bowl that will set inside it without tipping.
Hand Mixer
Measuring cups and spoons
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
pinch of salt
2 egg whites (large or extra large eggs)
1/4 cup cold water
1/4 tsp mint flavoring
2-3 drops green food coloring
Fill double boiler or pan 1/3 full with water. Set on medium/high heat. Place bowl on top. Add first 5 ingredients. Start mixing on medium speed, and then high speed. Keep going for about 5-7 minutes, until swirls are seen and stiff peaks form when the beaters are turned off.
Pull off the heat, and beat for another minute or two to stiffen and cool. Add mint and green food coloring. Mix well. Dollop into pretty tea cups or serving bowls.
My family and I loved this recipe! I hope you do too!

Easy Info for Gluten Free Living
Obviously, if you have gotten to this post, you have access to a computer. What you may not know is that you can have your very own Kindle for FREE on your computer! Kindle has some amazing deals where you can get free copies of books or a deal of the day reduced price books. I have in a few short months collected over 300 books, and almost all of them were for free.
On top of getting free books, Kindle has cookbooks - including Gluten Free cookbooks. I have enjoyed reading the information inside them about what flours and grains they prefer using and different recipes they have come up with. I can't tell you how much I love Kindle!
To download your free copy, just go to Amazon.com and look for the Kindle e-books line. On the main page for Kindle, there is a link for downloading a free copy to your computer. If you have a smart phone, you can also go to Market and download a Kindle app for your phone. I have one on mine, and I use it daily. :) Here is to reading -- cookbooks included.
