Easy Three Cheese Mac & Cheese(Made with Almond Milk!) Recipe

Three Cheese Mac & Cheese Recipe (made with almond milk!) from thelittlekitchen.net

So I started seeing a new primary care doctor recently and she thinks I'm lactose intolerant to a certain degree. I'm honestly not surprised about this revelation because like 90% of Asians are lactose intolerant. My older sister actually developed an intolerance to lactose in her 30s as well. I'm not going to bother getting tested, I researched that, I don't want to spend hours at the doctor's office.

Anyways, she kind of freaked me out when she said you should probably stay away from mac & cheese. I gave her a face. But I love mac & cheese. And then, I got a little bit clever…when it came time to bounce around ideas for my continued partnership with Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Almondmilk, I thought why not make a mac & cheese recipe with almond milk…it can be done, right? I have been trying my hand at baking with and cooking with almond milk so this was exciting for me to try.

It took a couple of tries and tweaks to get it right but I can yes, it can be done! It's so creamy and cheesy, I love it!

    What a Tasty Dish, Julie!!
    So easy and quick to make…
    Had everything on-hand, however, I used 1 cup of Unsweetened Almond Milk and 1 cup of Heavy Cream…
    Must admit this Mac & Cheese was creamy & cheesy… Sprinkled a lil’ paprika on top (don’t ask me why… it’s a habit lol)
    This stovetop recipe saved me from turning on the oven, which I dreaded during these warm temps!
    Prepared steamed Garlic Butter shrimp with the Mac & Cheese..
    Thanks for Sharing!

    I’m not supposed to have butter (I’m on the A+ blood type diet) but I can have macadamia nut oil (which I use as a butter substitute in some cooking and drizzling on my toast). My question is – can I use mac nut oil in place of butter for the mac and cheese recipe (with almond milk)? Thank you!

    The roux as called for in the recipe was extremely dry, I had to use double the butter. After this, the only other mods I used were Adding a bunch of veggies (kale, mushrooms, garlic, and broccoli) which I cooked separately and tossed in at the end. Otherwise, this recipe turned out incredible! Definitely some of the best mac n cheesy ness ever to touch my tastebuds.

    I have cut out most dairy to check for sensitivity and have subbed with almond milk. A grand daughter has definite milk issues. But doesnt that mean that cheeses have to go too? Amlooking to try this recipe. Have subbed the box mixes with almond milk but I am one to LOOVE a good mac and cheese with a roux.

      Parmesan, Swiss and Cheddar (ages 1 year or more) has no galactose. My son who is not allowed any dairy products due to a rare genetic disorder is allowed these cheeses.
