Enjoy Lactofree for Longer
As staying in is the new going out, we want to share with you some clever tips from our community chef, Mia Botcher, to help you get more from your Lactofree products while indulging your friends and family in some lactose intolerant-friendly treats…
Lactofree Whole and Semi-Skimmed can be turned into a number of sweet indulgences that create your favourite desserts…
Evaporated milk: Simply evaporate the Lactofree Whole or Semi-Skimmed by 60% in a pan over low heat, stirring occasionally so that it doesn’t burn. You can use this to make wonderfully rich fudge but also a number of savoury dishes.
Sweetened condensed milk: Cook 100ml of Lactofree Whole or Semi-Skimmed to 25g of sugar (in whatever quantity you wish) with 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, on low heat, stirring occasionally so that it doesn’t burn (500ml milk and 125g of sugar takes about 1 hour on a low simmer). This sweet milk makes fabulous chocolate brownies.
Dulce de leche: Follow the sweetened condensed milk method and simply cook for longer until your mixture becomes thick and brown (500ml Lactofree Whole or Semi-Skimmed and 125g of sugar takes about 1 hour and 15-30 minutes on a low simmer). This rich, creamy caramel is perfect for desserts like Banoffee Pie and also just by the spoon!
Buttermilk: Cook 1 1/3 cup of Lactofree Whole and 1/3 apple cider until it curdles. Stir well before using. This sour milk is great for fruit scones or soda bread.
Lactofree Soft White Cheese can be a good substitute for cream in many recipes and why not spice it up by adding the following…
Finely grated peeled and cored cucumber, finely grated garlic, salt and pepper
Finely diced sundried tomatoes
Homemade pesto
Paprika, finely grated onion and parsley
Lactofree Semi Hard Cheese is a very good substitute for parmesan when finely grated or blended in a food processor.
Lactofree Fruit Yogurt turns into a refreshing and healthy fruity treat by placing wooden sticks in the yogurt pots and freezing to create a yogurt ice lolly!
We hope you enjoy these handy tips and we’d love to hear from you if you’ve discovered new ways to enjoy your favourite Lactofree products.
