I'm lactose intolerant. Also have problems with soy milk (you don't wanna know---seriously!). But I've tried all the others. I like cashew milk ice cream the best. Coconut milk is okay but seems a little thin somehow, at least most of it. Oat milk is, how to say---not at all good.
Anybody else got opinions on this?

Gonna get my ice cream 'fix' now.

(18,244 posts)Depending on the exact kind, yogurt can be much lower in lactose than milk, and therefore easier to digest.
If yogurt works for you then maybe frozen yogurt?
Myself, I have ditched milk due to probably lactose issues, but do fine with Greek and Icelandic yogurt. I mostly stay away from ice cream due to the sugar but when I do have some, I try to go with froyo instead of regular ice cream.

You can freeze seedless grapes, if you are just looking for a cool, sweet treat.

They work really well. I've used them for many years, whenever I eat anything containing milk products.

Decades later one of this company's product ranges has stood the test of time:
