Is There Lactose Free Ice Cream?

Yes. You see, dairy-free ice cream is generally made up of frozen cream or butterfat that is derived from alternate dairy sources such as almond, coconut, soy, hemp, etc. As a result, most people who are lactose intolerant can opt for either ice cream that is marked and marketed as lactose-free and/or dairy free.

Lactose-Free Ice Cream Lactose-free ice creams are regular cow’s milk ice cream. However, an enzyme to break down lactose, called lactase, is added.

Lactose-free dairy ice creams are usually made by adding a synthetic lactase enzyme into dairy milk. This helps break down the lactose (3, 4). Alternatively, ice-cream manufacturers sometimes filter lactose out of the milk (3, 4).

Lactose-free dairy ice creams are made by putting some synthetic lactase enzyme into milk. With this, the lactose in the milk will break down (3, 4). Some ice cream manufacturers may filter the lactose from the milk (3, 4).
