It’s National Ice Cream Day today, and we’re celebrating with this delicious collection of dairy-free ice cream recipes. Because we all deserve to enjoy 31 flavors. Don’t you think?
31 Dairy-Free Ice Cream Recipes Worth Churning Out
Dairy-free is my primary goal, but all of these recipes just happen to be plant-based, vegan, and gluten-free, too. And many are also top allergen-free.
Because coconut milk is so luxurious, quite a few of these recipes are coconut-based, but there are some naturally coconut-free options in the mix. And you can use my How to Substitute Coconut Milk guide to make any of these frozen desserts without coconut.
Most of these flavors can also be enjoyed paleo if you use your paleo sweeteners of choice. They will alter the taste a bit, but should be equally fulfilling. If you need a keto treat, skip the fruity varieties and use your favorite low carb sugar alternative for sweetening.
