Being lactose-intolerant means that you have to avoid all dairy and head for the dairy-free products - a tough one, especially if there are dairy products you particularly enjoy. Finding tasty dairy-free desserts and chocolate can be one of the biggest challenges, although you can make some simple adjustments to popular recipes to give you a version friendly for the lactose intolerant. Of course, you’ll need to stock your pantry and fridge with some common dairy-free products such as alternatives to butter and milk. You can usually find these at your local health store, supermarket or an online specialist supplier such as Goodness Direct. There are other replacements you can try without having to buy specialist products too. For muffins and other cakes, you can replace the butter with oil. It doesn’t sound very appealing, but the taste is great. Similarly, adding coconut oil to cakes is very successful, although you do of course have to like the taste of coconut for that to work! Soya yoghurt can also be another alternative to butter, and keeps cakes extremely moist and fresh for longer. Rice milk is a wonderful alternative to cow’s milk, and is perfect for desserts because it is sweeter. Use it to make ice cream, although soya cream works just as well for this. Ice cream tastes great on its own or with other desserts, so it’s always good to have some in stock, plus it’s perfect for those hot summer days. Don’t worry about any recipes involving chocolate, there are several dairy-free alternatives available, and in different flavours too. Combine chocolate with fresh or frozen fruits such as oranges or raspberries for some delicious desserts that are super tasty but really quick to put together. You’ll also be able to find dairy-free chocolate chips, which you can add to cookies or muffins for extra flavour.
