  1. Yum! The coconut cream would taste awesome with the peaches. Love it. How funny that we have both been thinking about Peach Kuchen recently! I think I am more for baked fruit than fresh fruit….

    1. Hello anon, it’s dairy-free because there are dairy-free options at each and every step! I made it dairy-free by using Nutellex in the base and coconut yoghurt in the custard… Or are you including eggs in the dairy category?
