LOVE A SCOOP OF ICE-CREAM, BUT
IT DOESN'T LOVE YOU BACK? WE
TRIED THE DAIRY-FREE OPTIONS
– THESE WERE OUR FAVES!

1 PANA ORGANIC DOUBLE CHOCOLATE


DAIRY FREE ICE CREAM, 475ML, $11
4 This ice-cream has a rich chocolate taste and creamy
texture with real flakes of chocolate throughout.
With no refined sugars, it’s a good guilt-free option.

2 YOCONUT VANILLA COCONUT FROZEN


DESSERT, 500ML, $4.99 Vegan and gluten
free as well as dairy free, this has a lovely balance
of coconut and vanilla flavours. It has a rich, creamy
texture and is speckled with vanilla seeds.

3 OVER THE MOO I FELL FOR CARAMEL,


500ML, $10 With its ripples of caramel sauce and
chunks of toffee, this creamy coconut-based ice-cream
is hard to beat. As a bonus, it’s certified low FODMAP.
Add a few slices of banana for a cheat’s dessert.

4 SANITARIUM SO GOOD VANILLA BLISS


FROZEN DESSERT, 1L, $6.60 A great one for
the kids, this soy milk-based low-fat vanilla dessert is
creamy and sweet, and tastes a lot like ice-cream. It’s
a good option for anyone who isn’t a fan of coconut.

5 5 BEN & JERRY'S NON-DAIRY PEANUT


BUTTER & COOKIES ICE CREAM , 458ML,
$12 This is like having found the pirate’s hidden
treasure chest. With an almond milk base, it has creamy,
crunchy and flaky textures and the balance between
sweet and salty keeps you digging for more.

6 MAGNUM DAIRY FREE CLASSIC , 270ML,


$7.00 This recent addition to the Magnum range
is a velvety vegan ice-cream made from almond milk
dipped in couverture chocolate. A choc-almond coated
version is also available.

7 WEIS DAIRY FREE MANGO PASSIONFRUIT


AND COCONUT BARS, 280ML, $7.50
Great for summer, these have a perfect balance of
creamy coconut, sweet mango and tangy passionfruit.
The range also includes a raspberry and coconut bar.

8 WEIS DAIRY FREE BOYSENBERRY AÇAÍ


& COCONUT, 1L, $6 This dessert is not
only delicious, but also very pretty. A fantastic
combination of creamy salty coconut and fresh and
zingy berries. It’s ideal for filling a sponge cake for
a stunning quick high tea dessert.
