Twenty-six people - including folks who identify as lactose intolerant, allergic to dairy, and vegan - say Van Leeuwen is their favorite brand of dairy-free ice cream. But fans of those brands assured us that, in most cases, you’ll enjoy their dairy-free ice cream in whatever flavor you prefer. The flavors shown with each brand are the ones we heard about the most.
And a note about flavors: Since everyone has different tastes, we focused our reporting on the best brands of dairy-free ice cream. As many dairy-free ice-cream connoisseurs will tell you, choosing one typically depends on what base you prefer, whether that’s oat milk, coconut milk, or other ingredients like chickpeas. But the more folks we talked to, the more we heard about other worthy alternatives to that runaway favorite. The reason we asked so many? Because more than half told us one brand makes the best hands down. To find the best dairy-free ice cream, we spoke to Muncy and 43 more lactose-intolerant, vegan, and dairy-allergic folks (as well as a few people who aren’t but still eat dairy-free ice cream) about the brands and flavors they like. “There are a lot of really good ones out there, but also a lot of bad ones,” says Leah Muncy, a Strategist deals writer who is lactose intolerant (like many women in her family). Still, as with any product, just because options exist doesn’t mean they are created equal. But as the availability of dairy-free milk made from almonds, oats, coconuts, and even pistachios has grown, so too have dairy-free ice-cream options. While refreshing, anyone who has had ice cream and sorbet knows the latter is far from a perfect dupe because it lacks that rich, creamy flavor that can only come from a dairy product like milk or cream.
