Dairy-free ice cream is a frozen dessert made without traditional dairy ingredients like milk or cream. Instead, it often uses plant-based alternatives such as almond, coconut, soy, or oat milk. These alternatives provide a creamy texture and can be flavored in various ways, making them suitable for those with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies. Many brands now offer a wide range of dairy-free ice cream flavors, from classic vanilla and chocolate to more adventurous options like salted caramel or cookie dough. This growing popularity reflects a broader trend towards plant-based diets and healthier dessert choices.
