Sweet delights with lactose-free and fructose-free desserts

A sweet dessert is part of every festive meal. Desserts are the crowning glory. Classics like crème brulée or chocolate mousse are sweet temptations that almost everyone likes. Desserts make you happy and keep you in a good mood. And even if we are already full, a few spoonfuls of dessert always fit. Now, people with lactose intolerance and fructose intolerance have the problem that they cannot tolerate these delicious temptations. As a rule, desserts contain sugar and milk, so that the desserts offered are taboo.

A wide variety of recipes for lactose-free and fructose-free desserts

Very few restaurants or caterers offer fructose-free desserts - there may very rarely be a lactose-free dessert, but fructose-free is mostly non-existent. This also applies to cafeterias or to invitations from friends and acquaintances. Often you do not know exactly which ingredients are found in the dessert. If you would like to prepare fructose-free or lactose-free desserts as an alternative, you will find numerous recipes here, including popular classics with slight variations. Elaborate, fast, with chocolate, warm or cold, even fruity - the selection is very large. If you cook for yourself, you can surprise everyone with fructose-free desserts for the next family celebration or garden party. Even with a fructose-free dessert you can’t go wrong with the right recipes. And the good thing is: anyone can eat these desserts and no one will notice a difference.
Many desserts are also quick and easy to prepare. At parties, for example, desserts in glasses are currently very popular because they look smart and taste delicious. There are also clever recipe ideas for spontaneous occasions, so that you never have to go without desserts and enjoyment, even with a food intolerance.

Fructose-free desserts, better without ready-made products

People with lactose intolerance or fructose intolerance should be aware of a few things during dessert. In any case, people should pay attention to an adequate supply of folic acid and zinc. However, this deficiency occurs especially often in those with fructose intolerance. Optimal dietary supplements are free of gluten, fructose, granulated sugar and lactose. Even with lactose-free or fructose-free desserts, especially in finished products, you should pay attention to the ingredients here. Those affected are best off using lactose-free dairy products. Finished products such as fruit yoghurt are best avoided.
A good alternative here is usually natural yoghurt, which contains lactic acid bacteria. These calm the intestine. Depending on the compatibility, various low-fructose fruits or fructose- and sucrose-free chocolate can be combined with natural yoghurt. Depending on the intensity of intolerance, small amounts of low-fructose fruit may be enjoyed as dessert after eating. They are often better tolerated as dessert after a main meal than alone or as a snack. Sucrose should always be replaced with grain sugar, glucose or rice syrup.

Chocolate, honey and Co. for fructose-free and lactose-free desserts

Chocolate and jam are often used for desserts. For lactose-free and fructose-free desserts, they should be low in fructose. Light products are taboo because they often contain fructose or sorbitol. Sorbitol inhibits the transport of fructose in the body. Here, however, it depends on how strong the intolerance is and what amounts of milk sugar or fructose are tolerated. Because lactose and fructose intolerance are not allergies, small amounts can often be tolerated. For lactose-free desserts, for example, depending on the individual tolerance limit, sour milk products, such as natural yoghurt, can alternatively be processed.
