Dairy Free Ice Cream Options


A few weeks ago I put up a Banana Ice Cream recipe that is easy and inexpensive to make. As the food market adapts to those of us who have food allergies there are several options for dairy and/or gluten free ice cream.

There are dairy free ice creams made from soy, rice, hemp or coconut milk. I have tried all 4. My favorite so far is Temph. I have tried Vanilla Bean, Coffee Biscotti and Chocolate. The chocolate flavor tasted like a very rich fudgsicle. The coconut lime flavor is also great, a hint of lime bathed in coconut.

The coconut based ice creams are great alternatives with plenty of fat to slow the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream. We shouldn't eat ice cream all the time but on occasion it is fine to have a treat.

Enjoy!
