Non dairy creamers do actually contain dairy. Not sure about lactose as
lactose isn't necessarily my problem. Dairy is. I would put water in the
eggs instead of half and half.

As for the cream cheese, you can get soy or rice based. Can't vouch for the
taste as I don't like cream cheese. But Daiya just came out with some.
It's a mix of rice and pea protein.
