Dairy-Free Ice Cream

by Donna Mastriani on Jan 17, 2020

Ice cream is a dessert many of us will have fond memories of. Whether you’ve enjoyed this summertime favourite during family trips to the park, or remember chowing down on a sundae in the middle of a cold, it’s safe to say that ice cream is delicious. But for some, ice cream has become a thing of that past thanks to a dairy allergy or lactose intolerance. Thankfully, that doesn’t have to be the case anymore. We’ve chosen our top 3 favourite dairy-free ice creams. So now you can enjoy the frozen dessert regardless of your dietary needs.

Top 3 Dairy-Free Ice Cream Brands

Swedish Glace Dairy-Free Ice Cream

Swedish Glace is a great choice for those with lactose intolerance or gluten intolerance. This kosher-approved frozen dessert is vegan and vegetarian, so it can be enjoyed by almost anyone. It is, however, a soy-based ice cream. So, it’s not suitable for those with a soy intolerance or allergy. Still, Swedish Glace is a wonderful option for anyone seeking out a delicious dairy-free dessert.

Halo Top

If you’re sensitive to soy, Halo Top have another great dairy-free option. Halo Top ice cream is popular amongst weight loss crowds for its low-calorie tubs (only 320 in this one!) and healthier ingredients. They boast using no artificial sweeteners or softeners, so, not only can you enjoy this ice cream reaction-free, but you can also rest assured that you aren’t loading your gut with a bunch of artificial gunk.

Yorica! - Free from all 14 major allergens!

Finally, we move on to the king of allergy-friendly ice creams. Yorica has figured out the secret to reaction-free frozen goodness. We were over the moon at discovering this totally allergen-free ice cream brand. Each tub of Yorica! Ice cream is free from all 14 major allergens. We didn’t know it could be done, but here it is. They even have their own store down in London if you happen to be nearby. But until then, you can’t go wrong with one of their vanilla tubs. Nowadays everyone can enjoy a scoop of ice cream in the heat. Whether you’re vegan, have allergies or are lactose intolerant, there is an ice cream brand out there for everyone. If you’re unsure if any of the ingredients we mentioned above might cause you digestive troubles, we recommend getting an allergy and intolerance test to find out before you go experimenting with these new ice cream brands.
