7 Indulgent Lactose-Free Desserts That You Need to Try

What do actress and Broadway star Sutton Foster and Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster have in common? They’re both fans of LACTAID® milk...and cookies, of course. Together with the folks at LACTAID®, Sutton Foster and Cookie Monster made a video to remind people that, even if you’re lactose-intolerant, you can enjoy a glass of 100% real milk, just without the lactose. What's even more exciting is that we've teamed up with LACTAID® to bring you lactose-free desserts that are sure to hit the spot. Find our list of recipes below.
