Is there a non-dairy ice-cream that tastes like ice cream??

[The Heretic]

Dairy products cause problems for me. Has anybody found a non-dairy ice-cream that tastes like ice-cream?

I have never found one, although if you eat something like rice dream over and over, you will forget what Ice Cream tastes like.

I use Mocha Mix (soy) on my cereal and I actually prefer it to milk as it is more like cream. I haven't tried rice milk since Mocha Mix seems just fine. I am looking for something that is creamy like ice-cream, but without the problems it causes for my digestive tract.

There are two that I know of, one is tofutti, which is OK, and then try this:

But nothing beats high butter fat ice cream.

You're too damn smart for your own good

I so wanted to say sherbert, but you worded your query too well!

Killjoy!

Tried the Mocha Mix Ice Cream?

I reccomend Rice Dream It comes in a variety of groovy flavors and It is pretty similar. At least I think so and again eat it enough and you will forget what the real stuff tastes like.

And HERE is a website I found with all sorts of ice cream substitute info!

The mocha mix ice cream is blech!

I'm assuming the issue is lactose. If you are wanting ice cream...take the "lactose supplement" and eat the real thing. Nothing else will suffice.

Yep - I rewrote it about three times to make sure people wouldn't suggest yogurt or sherbert; not only are they dairy based but they aren't creamy like ice cream. And I con't like sorbet either - not like I like ice-cream anyway.

Why don't you just buy Lactaid to help you digest the dairy?

I didn't know there was such a thing! I will have to look for it.

My son has sensitivities to dairy food (not the same as an allergy to dairy products)

He loves the ice cream we get for him and it tastes lovely.

(It is a New Zealand site, I'm not sure if the ice cream can be brought internationally.)
Here are few recipes I found.

If I can help with more recipes let me know.

I have tried various enzyme digestive aids and they don't work for me. I am not sure whether the problem is lactose or not, but something in all dairy products causes problems for me.

An interesting link.

"The other element of milk that people are commonly allergic to is Casein. This is the major protein in dairy milk. It is the element that most are intolerant of. It
is important to know what causes your allergy because if butterfat is your problem, then you can use the new fat free milk and milk products. However, if you are allergic to Caisein, there are many other products that you need to avoid.
( many of these claim to be "non-dairy" )"

I noticed on the one page about ice-cream alternatives that many claimed to be Casein free.

I dislike fat free milk products; the milk tastes like colored water and low/non-fat sour cream, etc. tastes quite different.

You MUST try Hagen-Dazs Chocolate Sorbet! I picked some up the other day on a lark (I'm not lactose intolerant or anything, I just thought I'd try something new), and it was faboo! And it's not nearly as bad for you (nutritionally) as ice cream, either!

I was shocked when reading the ingredients to find that it doesn't contain any milk products. (I didn't really realize what sorbet was before. lol)

It's nummy.

Mental Note: Buy roseyposey an ice cream maker and send her all of my sorbet recipes.

I gotta say, Heretic. Give sorbet another chance. All of the Hagen Daaz ones are pretty freakin' tasty. Especially the lemon, the chocolate and the mango.

I really don't care for sorbet; it isn't creamy enough.
