I love to use walnut, almond or cashew milk from Elmhurst Farms to make this recipe - they don't use any additives or stabilizers, just nuts and water to make their milks. And they are delicious! For those who are interested in alternatives to cow's milk (whether it be due to allergies, intolerances or simply the desire to live a vegan lifestyle) be sure to read product labels carefully. Many brands may have a great tasting product, but contain ingredients that may cause bloating, gas, or digestive issues for some. Be on the look out for stabilizers such as xanthan gum, locust bean gum, gellan gum, guar gum, and gum acacia if you have any GI concerns.
