i'm casein intolerent...

soy ice cream is your friend.
all of the brands are pretty tasty, but purely decadent by turtle mountain is my favorite.
silk soy milk is the best, i think. it's definitely the creamiest.
chocolate mousse can be made with coconut milk.
thai sticky black rice with coconut milk is really tasty.

soy cheese is mostly not dairy free. casein (milk protein) is what makes cheese cheesy, so most soy cheeses are just lactose free.
cake frosting (like pillsbury or whatever in the little plastic things) is made entirely of chemicals, and usually dairy-free. dunno how you feel about poly-whatsits though.

sorry, don't have much non-dessert advice. being milk intolerant sucks, but once you get used to it, it's not as bad as you'd expect. i think it helps to just ignore milk, instead of trying to replace it, if that makes sense. like having a spinach and tomato sandwich instead of trying to create the perfect dairy free grilled cheese sandwich.
