Booja-Booja
Booja-booja make luxury dairy free ice cream (and truffles) from their base in Norfolk, producing a range of six different tub flavours: chocolate salted caramel, vanilla, chocolate, raspberry ripple, caramel pecan praline and hazelnut chocolate truffle. Their chocolate salted caramel won gold in the Desserts and Puddings category at the recent 2018 FreeFrom food awards, whilst the caramel pecan praline scooped silver in the same category.
Almond Dream
Almond Dream vegan ice cream is made, as you might expect, from almonds (well, 5% almonds anyway), with soy the other key ingredient. Gluten free as well as dairy free, Almond Dream is a smooth ice cream that comes in a variety of flavours including salted caramel, praline, vanilla, and mint chocolate chip, all widely available at major supermarkets.

Coconut Collaborative
Not strictly ice cream but a frozen yoghurt, Coconut Collaborative make their tasty desserts from, you guessed it, coconuts – coconut milk, to be precise. These dairy free ice yoghurts come in three flavours: blueberry, natural and raspberry. You can find them at most of the major supermarkets.
Tesco Free From Cones
Tesco’s Free From ice cream cones come in strawberry and vanilla, or toffee and vanilla varieties, and guess what? They’re entirely free from dairy, or indeed any other animal products.
Marks & Spencer Made Without Dairy
M&S’s ‘Made Without Dairy’ range includes tubbed coconut cream ice cream, and they’ve reportedly just released some new vegan ice creams too: chocolate and caramel ice cream sticks, as well as chocolate and vanilla vegan ice cream cones.

Northern Bloc
Leeds-based Northern Bloc’s vegan range includes such quirky flavours as strawberry and yuzu (I’ve no idea what yuzu is either), chocolate and orange blossom, peanut chip, and hazelnut and rose, as well as grapefruit and bergamot sorbet and raspberry and sorrel sorbet. You can pick up their ice cream and sorbet at Waitrose, Co-op and Ocado.
Alpro
Made variously from soy, almonds, coconut milk or hazelnuts and available in vanilla, coconut, hazelnut, and almond salted caramel flavours, you can pick up Alpro’s entirely plant-based ice cream at all the major supermarkets.
Ben & Jerry’s Dairy Free
Ben & Jerry’s, to much excitement, released three dairy free flavours of ice cream last year – Chunky Monkey, Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Peanut & Butter Cookies. Their ice cream is almond milk-based and widely available from most major supermarkets.

Added them, thanks.
Hey!
You missed my favourite vegan ice cream bars MiiRO 🙂
They support Veganuary and they’re a great alternative to Magnum.
Coconut Collaborative makes ice cream 🙂 Most of the Perfect World ones aren’t vegan as they contain egg…I think maybe one flavour is. Also Magnums and Cornettos – so much choice
Perfect World are all vegan, they used to contain egg but relaunched as fully vegan last year. Plus they don’t have sugar so way better for you 🙂
