Dairy-free isn’t about living without, it’s about living with even more amazing foods, including dessert. To prove it, we hosted a dairy-free frozen dessert recipe contest with 31 food-loving bloggers. The event was sponsored by So Delicious in combination with their summer-long #FrozenFridays celebration. And the result was 39 amazing dairy-free frozen dessert recipes across 2 categories, with TEN winners. But they’re all winning recipes in our book.
To select the winners, the Go Dairy Free test kitchens actually tested and enjoyed these dairy-free frozen desserts (it’s a tough job!). I cannot tell you how difficult it was to decide (and how much weight we gained!), as these are all incredible recipes. In fact, after testing, we added FOUR Honorable Mention prizes on top of the TWO Grand Prize, TWO Runner-Up and TWO Reader’s Choice awards because we simply couldn’t narrow it down any further.
