Can lactose-intolerant people eat cheesecake?

Question

If they can't what can I make instead for a party? I don't want to make just a regular cake, y'know? Something more interesting!

Answer 1

I'm lactose intolerant and YES you can eas cheesecake you can either find a non dairy cream cheese, which is made by several differnt companies, or buy a box of pills such as lactaid or dairy ease. differnt people have differnt degrees of intolerance some can't handle plain milk but have an easier time with things like hard cheeses and yogurt. I keep several lactaid pills in my purse at all times so I'm always prepared.. So have your cheeseCAKE and eat it to!!!

Answer 2

Lactose-intolerant people cannot eat cheesecake, unless everything you used was of soy, and not dairy. And that just seems pointless. I'd suggest going ahead and making the type of cake you want to make, but also have an alternative non-dairy dessert. (I.E. and kind of fruit truffle)

Answer 3

Try a few bakeries, or if there's one near you, a cheesecake shop. If you can't find one, you can always get some lactose free dairy products and make it yourself.

Answer 4

a lactose -intolerant people can't eat cheesecake... there is also sugar in the flour that is use to bake the cake.

Answer 5

Hidden Sources of Lactose

You may be surprised to learn how many nondairy foods contain lactose because they have ingredients that contain diary products or by-products:


Bread and baked goods;

Processed breakfast cereals;

Instant potatoes, soups, and breakfast drinks;

Nondairy coffee creamer and whipped products;

Margarine;

Salad dressings;

Candy and snack foods;

Pancake, cookie, and biscuit mixes;

Powdered meal-replacement supplements;

Prescription medications, including many types of birth control pills;

Certain tablets that reduce stomach acid and gas.
So be sure to read labels carefully, looking for the following ingredients: whey, curds, milk by-products, dry milk solids, and nonfat dry milk powder.

Here's to your good health!

Answer 6

Not unless they take a lot of lactaid.
How about a nice apple pie since it's fall.
