Frequently asked questions
What can I use instead of milk and cream?
Plant milk (oat, almond, coconut), plant cream for cooking, or lactose-free milk and yogurt. In desserts and sauces you'll barely notice the difference.
Is lactose-free the same as dairy-free?
Not quite. Lactose-free products still contain milk protein, minus the lactose. If you need a dish completely without milk, reach for plant-based alternatives.
Which dairy products are naturally almost lactose-free?
Long-aged hard cheeses — Parmesan, mature cheddar, or aged gouda — carry only traces of lactose, and so do butter and ghee. Fermented products like yogurt break down part of the lactose on their own, too.
Can I still have dessert?
Of course. Creamy cups, cheesecake, or panna cotta are easy to make with coconut milk or lactose-free cream, and they taste great.
