12 Dairy Free Ice Creams That Actually Taste Good!

What tastes better than ice cream on a hot and sunny July day? Maybe that’s why National Ice Cream Day is smack dab in the middle of the month on July 20th.

Unfortunately for us diary allergy and lactose intolerance suffers and vegans, we can’t always indulge in summer’s most cold and sweet treat. That’s not to say there isn’t dairy free ice cream available, there is but in my experience most of it is vanilla which highlights everything a dairy free ice cream lacks such as taste.

But never fear my food allergy friends! I put my taste buds on the line and after some arduous research, I collected a round up of 12 dairy free ices cream recipes that are easy to make and good to eat!

Pin this milk allergy friendly recipe collection for later!

11. So Delicious Minis Mocha Almond Fudge Bars -  because sometimes when an ice cream craving hits you want to buy than wait for the DIY to freeze. This isn’t an ad for So Delicious or anything like that. I tried them (and everything else they offered) at the So Delicious booth at the Ohio Food and Wine Festival last weekend. I’ve pretty much given up on dairy free ice cream because it is so hard to find one that actually tastes good. Most vegan ice creams offer vanilla which always shows how much vegan ice cream does not taste like the real deal! The almond milk in the Fudge Bars made my taste buds sing because it tastes just like cow milk ice cream but it is 100% certified vegan. I don’t know how So Delicious does it but I’m very happy that they do.

I taste tested all of the coconut and almond milk offerings at the So Delicious booth so you don’t have to. I’m selfless like that.
