Lactose-free cheesecakes are made with alternative milk and cream, such as almond milk, soy milk, or coconut milk, instead of traditional dairy products. This allows those with lactose intolerance or those following a vegan diet to enjoy cheesecake without the digestive discomfort or ethical concerns associated with consuming dairy. With a few simple substitutions, you can create a lactose-free cheesecake that is just as creamy, rich, and delicious as the traditional version.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lactose-free cream cheese. Not all lactose-free cream cheeses are created equal. Some brands may still contain trace amounts of lactose, while others may have a different taste or texture than traditional cream cheese. Be sure to read the label carefully before purchasing.
  • Use full-fat lactose-free cream cheese. This will help to ensure that your cheesecake has a rich and creamy texture.
  • Don't overbeat the cream cheese. Overbeating can cause the cream cheese to become grainy.
  • Use a springform pan. This will make it easy to remove the cheesecake from the pan.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Chill the cheesecake thoroughly before serving. This will help to set the cheesecake and make it easier to slice.
