If you make this, or anything for him, you need to buy a new pie pan (just the aluminum ones are fine) or borrow one of theirs, especially if your pan is metal ,has silicone on it, or is glass with scratches on it! Your pan will be hopelessly glutened and you will end up accidently glutening him via cross contamination.


Making something gluten free is measured in parts per MILLION, so it is not possible when using your regular, glutened pans,utensils, cutting boards etc. in a glutened kitchen. Oh, and you need clean (new) mixing spoons as well!


Also, please make sure your friend can tolerate lactose. MANY of us are lactose intolerant as well.


I know you mean well, but I also know you do not want to cook something that he then feels compelled to eat, then ends up miserable and sick!


Otherwise, you can get some gf baking mixes from Bob's Red Mill, Featherlight, etc. and make that. Or get chocolate (lactose/casein free) from Chocolate Indulgence and do the chocolate fondue thing, minus any gluten containing items being dipped in, of course, as that will gluten him as well.


Thanks so much for doing something nice for your friend and looking out for his food intolerances as well!
