Get More from Your Lactofree
The weekend is here and it’s time to experiment! With these handy tips from community chef, Mia Botcher, you can get even more from your favourite Lactofree products.
Lactofree whole and semi-skimmed can both be turned into a number of sweet and savoury indulgences that can be used in a range of recipes…
Evaporated milk: Simply evaporate 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 delicious simply poured over fresh sliced banana.
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 pouring into plastic moulds and freezing to create yogurt ice lollies!
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.

Hi, My son loves yoghurts but i can’t find lactose free yoghurts anywhere. where can i find this and also the soft white cheese, he loves all cheese but can only find the semi hard cheese. My son has other allergies, one of which is soya, I feel awful that he has to go without.
