Does anyone know of any lactose free recipes that don't have tofu in them?

Question

I am lactose intorant and I am looking for recipes for things such as cheese, icecream, cheese spreads, cream cheese, whitesauces, icecream toppings, whipped cream, yogurt, etc that are lactose free. Also I am looking where to find already made products in stores that actually taste good and are not too expensive if you can. Also, I don't like the taste of tofu/soy cheese and am wondering how cheese made with yeast (I saw it online) tastes and if it is better than soy/tofu cheeses. Any of this info would be great and I would love an answer answering all of this. Also, anyone know if there are lactose-intorent recipe books or sites and where I can get them? Also, anyone know any drinks made with nondairy (shakes etc).? Another delima I have with all this is that it many recipes are highly fatting..i need more of a happy medium and some lower fat ones too.

Answer 2

Cheese doesn't have much lactose because it disappears as the cheese ages. Harder cheeses have the least lactose, but even softer cheeses like cottage, ricotta, and cream cheese don't have that much lactose.

Here's a table of foods and the amount of lactose they have. I guess it's best to find out how much milk it takes to make you sick... if it takes half a cup of milk to make you sick, you should consume less than 4 or 5 grams of lactose in a sitting.

PRODUCT / LACTOSE IN GRAMS
Whey, dry (1 oz.) 19-21
Milk, acidophilus skim (1 cup) 11
Yogurt, whole milk (1 cup) 10-12
Milk, whole (1 cup) 9-14
Buttermilk (1 cup) 9-12
Ice Milk (3/4 cup) 8
Yogurt, lowfat (1 cup) 5-19
Velveeta cheese (1.5 oz.) 4
Ice Cream (3/4 cup) 3-8
Orange sherbet (3/4 cup) 1-2
Half-and-Half, cream, or sour cream (2 Tbs.) 1
Most hard cheeses (11.5 oz.) 1
American cheese, pasteurized processed (1.5 oz.) 0-6
Ricotta cheese (1/2 cup) 0-6
Cottage cheese, creamed (1/2 cup) 0-4
Cream cheese (1.5 oz.) 0-1
Butter or margarine (1 Tbs.) 0

Apparently, some people do okay with yogurt because the bacteria in yogurt produces lactase, the enzyme that lactose-intolerant people don't have. So it cancels out the lactose.

My own vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe: 3/4 c sugar 3/4 c brown sugar 2 1/4 c flour 1 1/4 tsp baking soda 2 sticks vegan margerine 1/4 c unsweetened applesauce 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 package vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the flour and baking soda together. Beat margerine, both sugars, and vanilla until they start to get kinda creamy. At this point, add the applesauce, and beat a little more. Slowly add the flour, as you beat it. When it's well mixed, stir in the chocolate chips. Place rounded spoonfuls onto a pan, about 2-3 inches apart. Bake about 8-12 minutes, depending on how doughy or not you like them. I like my cookies on the doughy side, personally, and since there isn't any raw egg danger, it's safe to eat them that way. If your oven is finicky like mine is, you'll want to watch it toward the end of while they're in it, to make sure they're cooked just right. This will make in the vicinity of 40ish cookies. If you like oatmeal choc chip, add in about 1c of it, and make it 1/2-3/4 tsp of baking soda instead. This same cookie dough also works for oatmeal raisin, so I frequently make several kinds of cookies from the same batch. Nice and easy way to make a variety.

Answer 4

My husband is seriously lactose intolerant. He takes Lactase or another daily digestive. I cook with as few dairy products as possible, and sometimes try bison or goat cheeses, etc. He does very well with the digestives and the other foods. He carries the digestives with him at all times and takes one if we eat out, because one never knows if there are dairy products in restaurant food.

Answer 5

I too am lactose intolerant. But I eat cheese. I tried to avoid soya and its by-products (tofu et al) because I started developing lumps and it may be because of my uber high protein diet. Anyway, I stick to grilled/baked/steamed meats, stir-fried vegetables and salads. Couldnt get better for me.
