Vegan or not, there’s something about a dairy-free ice cream that should be sparking your curiosity. “Nice creams”, as we call them now, are just as delicious as the real deal, and perhaps even good for you. And with bikini-season and high temperatures being in full swing State-side, we thought we’d round up a few delectable options for you to try.
7 of the best vegan ice creams
Ben & Jerry’s
There’s a reason Bridget Jones always had two consistent men in her life. By the name of Ben and Jerry, these fellas were there for all the emotional boy drama that went on in Brigdet’s life (and, if we’re being honest, ours too). Now, these bad boys have released vegan flavours, giving us reason to celebrate. We’ve previously mentioned how exciting we were about the ice cream giant making a crossing over to the “nice cream” range so surprise it’s made the top of our list. Although we’re still waiting for Ben & Jerry’s to make it over to Aussie shores, you can find most vegan flavours in any U.S Supermarket. So what are you waiting for?

Luz Almond
It’s safe to say we’re a little nuts about Luz Almond. Their range of delicious, cold-pressed almond milk yogurts are also available as frozen desserts. The “Summer Strawberry with a hint of Acai” is a creamy and fruity alternative that sets just the right tone for a hot summer day. We approve.

This handmade coconut milk ice-cream is from an old Turkish Levantine delicacy. Booza uses “mastic”, a naturally produced gum from the Mastic tree, to create tasty ice cream flavours that are non-dairy and sugar-free.
