Find out how to prepare irresistible dairy-free sweet recipes to eat without worries
Lactose intolerance, as the name suggests, is a condition that makes people unable to eat any product that contains lactase, a type of sugar found in milk and dairy products. This occurs due to the deficiency or absence of the enzyme lactase, responsible for splitting lactose into two smaller molecules so that they can be absorbed by the intestine.
The good news is that there are strategies to address this problem, such as reducing or avoiding dairy consumption and opting for lactose-free alternatives. So, find out how to prepare eight lactose-free dessert recipes!
