Lactose-Free Cream Cheeses

Trader Joe's Lactose Free Cream Cheese is Made with Lactase

— September 26, 2023 — Lifestyle
Trader Joe's wants your lactose-free loved ones to enjoy all your delicious baked goods this fall, which is why the grocery store chain has just unveiled a new Lactose Free Cream Cheese.

Sold under Trader Joe's private label brand, the new Lactose Free Cream Cheese is a delicious alternative to the dairy-laden real thing. This version is made with lactase, which is an enzyme that naturally breaks down lactose. The result is a creamy spread that has the same slightly tart flavor you'd expect from any other cream cheese, but none of the lactose.

But perhaps the best part about Trader Joe's Lactose Free Cream Cheese is just how versatile it is. Not only can it be spread on bagels and toast, but it can also be used for dips, frosting, baked goods, casserole, scrambled eggs and so much more.
