Living without lactose

Asked on 26 Oct 2017 by QuimperleKitty

How about some recipes for us sufferers who are lactose intolerant please? Not to just substitute soya alternatives for milk/cream/cheese.........
With problems digesting lactose come other problems such as mal-digestion of beans and tomatoes and most of us crave cheesey/creamy/milky looking recipes.....sigh!

Hello,

How about toasted almond milk? I made Delia’s Rice Pudding last week and used it in place of the evaporated and whole milk.

Old-fashioned Rice Pudding

If you tell us what sort of recipes you would like to be able to eat, we might be able help with suggesting how they could be adapted.

Best wishes

Lindsey

Hi Lindsey, thanks for your prompt response and the recipe for rice pudding.
Cakes I have covered - with oil instead of dairy (sadly not rich choc brownies) but have found nothing for baked cheesecake. I suffer soya cream sub in my coffee, but it is lovely rich creamy (not grainy) pasta sauces that I crave. Something to substitute for mascapone/fromage frais/creme fraiche. A rich quiche recipe............ A rich dairy-free pastry would be good also............
I think I'll stop there or I will fill up the whole page.
FYI. I have a plentiful supply of fresh walnuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts, apples (and cider apples) and eggs at the moment.
Kind regards,
Kitty

Hi,

Coconut milk or coconut cream will add richness and a creamy texture..
