It’s quite difficult to search for recipes or adjust your current recipes to be lactose-free; Creating lactose-free recipes, desserts, for example, can be a bit more difficult. Many desserts call for milk or a dairy product like ice cream or topping for whipping. With a little thought and ingenuity, you can create some very tasty treats that are lactose-free.

When browsing through the many lactose-free recipes, desserts specifically, you will find a variety of flavors, just as you do when searching for a new recipe for breakfast or dinner. A super simple recipe is to make a chocolate flavored almond milk shake and mix with ice; if you want to add a little vanilla you can.

There are many lactose-free recipes, also desserts, available on the Internet, but I want to share some with you here.

The first recipe is super easy and super quick to make and only takes 3 ingredients. If you love peanut butter cookies, try this recipe: Mix together a cup of peanut butter, a cup of sugar, and an egg. Drop one tablespoon at a time onto a cookie sheet and bake for 8 to 12 minutes in a preheated 325 degree oven. You can leave them in a “drop” shape or flatten with a fork before baking. To keep them chewy, store them in a sealed container; this recipe is also vegan and gluten free.

This next recipe is also really easy and great for the holidays or any time of year. It contains no nuts or soy and is packed with flavor. Heat the following in a medium saucepan until bubbly:

29 ounces pumpkin (canned)

A cup of rice milk

¼ cup agave syrup or maple syrup

1 cup of honey

Cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves

In a separate bowl, whisk in the egg yolks until thick and creamy, then add about a half cup of the pumpkin mixture to slowly heat the egg mixture without cooking the whites. Next, slowly mix the rest of the egg mixture into the pumpkin mixture. Continue cooking until this mixture thickens. Serve hot or cold in custard plates.

Desserts can complete a wonderful meal and are wonderful to share with others when celebrating special occasions. When looking for lactose-free recipes, desserts shouldn’t be overlooked and there are plenty to choose from.
