What is a good replacement for lard?

Question

I was thinking just vegan butter but maybe i should try something thicker?  An avocado and vegan butter?  Coconut oil?  Idk. Any ideas help.

Answer

I've never cooked with lard but I'd say vegan butter. Maybe even apple sauce depending on the recipe, some people use that instead of oil.

Answer

I’d think coconut oil would work. There’s even buttery coconut oil (I use that for recipes that call for ghee).

Answer

When I make refried beans that would usually call for lard i found that vegan butter is best. Not the stick version but the tub version. The sticks are usually too oily and not very creamy.

Answer

Coconut oil

Answer

Canola oil is a good replacement for lard.

Answer

What exactly are you making? It just depends.those wouldn’t be things that’d make something thicker. Unless you’re thinking of making a roux and using vegan butter..?
