Hello everyone — with this heat wave in full swing, I thought it would be a great time to share a curated list of my favourite gluten-free and dairy-free ice cream recipes. Whether you prefer fruity, chocolatey, nutty or a nostalgic float, there’s something here to suit every craving.
Enjoy!
Fx
- 1. Coffee Chocolate Chip Ice Cream (Gluten & Dairy Free)
- This one is perfect for coffee lovers — made with coconut milk, maple syrup, espresso and dairy-free chocolate chips. Simple to make and full of flavour.
- 2. Banana PB Choc Ices (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
- If you’ve never had a gluten- and dairy-free choc ice, try making these at home. They’re easier to prepare than you might think and taste fantastic.
- 3. Salted Caramel Ice Cream (Gluten & Dairy Free)
- Salted caramel was a highly requested flavour. I use about 1/4 teaspoon of salt to balance the sweetness, but adjust to your taste for a sweeter or saltier finish.
- 4. Raspberry Float (Gluten & Dairy Free)
- A nostalgic treat: make your own dairy-free vanilla ice cream or use a store-bought alternative if you’re short on time, then top with raspberry soda for a refreshing float.
- 5. Peanut Butter Choc Chip Ice Cream (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
- Peanut butter is a classic and one of my favourites. If you need a nut-free option, substitute with a seed butter for a similar creamy texture and flavour.
- 6. Mocha Ice Cream (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
- This makes a generous tub, so it’s ideal for preparing ahead and sharing with family or friends — a great make-ahead dessert.
- 7. Pumpkin Spiced Ice Cream Float (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
- This recipe shows how to make a creamy dairy-free pumpkin-spiced ice cream. Serve it on its own or turn it into a float for extra fun.
- 8. Choc PB Banana Frozen Shells (Gluten & Dairy Free)
- Use this recipe to make fudgy ice lollies or set the mixture in madeleine or shell molds if you don’t have lolly sticks — creative and delicious.
- 9. Ice Cream Biscuit Bars (Gluten & Dairy Free)
- A hybrid between an ice cream cookie sandwich and a choc ice — great for when you want something handheld and indulgent.
- 10. Banana Ice Cream (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
- This was one of my first ice cream recipes on the site — incredibly simple and made with just a few ingredients. It’s a family favourite that I keep coming back to. Here it’s topped with a drizzle of gluten- and dairy-free caramel sauce.
