It was in honor of Bear’s birthday that I went on a mission to find the most delicious, must try ice cream out there. And with summer kicking off, what a fun time to celebrate super yum dairy free ice creams!
Listed below are my top ten favorite picks, with #1 being the most delicious. Keep in mind these suggestions will obviously depend on your mood and preferences! If you are a strawberry fan, the strawberry picks will rank ahead of coffee for you 🙂
I know there are many many companies out there, so please let me know in the comments below what else is an absolute must try! Especially for healthier (cane juice/agave/sugar free) ice creams that still taste insane!
1.) So Delicious Turtle Trails 

Turtle trails is epic!! I found it when searching for some insanely delicious ice cream for father’s day a couple years ago. Once I had it, I couldn’t stop thinking about it!! I think I ate half the container.

3.) Ben & Jerry’s Non-Dairy P.B. & Cookies

This one is insane, it’s really great!! Pretty dangerous actually, you can get hysterical over it. Plus, how great is it that Ben & Jerry’s is making vegan ice cream? I’m very impressed with this smart move!

• almond milk base
• sweetened with sugar
• non-gmo

4.) So Delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl

If you love chocolate and peanut butter, definitely try this one! It’s really decadent and delicious. This is the ice cream I went with in my Peanut Butter Chocolate Madness Milkshake recipe. If you haven’t made that milkshake yet, it’s the real deal!

7.) Vixen Kitchen Coffee

Vixen’s organic ice cream is super tasty! And even more exciting, it’s cashew and maple syrup based. No other added sugars! I liked her coffee flavor so much we ordered it to have at Bear’s 4th birthday party. I love that its made with maple syrup and not very many ingredients!

8.) DF Maven’s Strawberry

I first tried DF Maven’s at the Natural Products Expo West and thought their strawberry was insane! Then while in New York last summer, we were happy to find they had an ice cream shop in the east village, although we are sad to hear it is now closed :(. My favorite from their shop was the green tea and Bear loved the rose water and the strawberry as well. You can now find and purchase their products online.

• coconut base
• sweetened with evaporated cane juice and sugar

9.) Ben & Jerry’s Non-Dairy Chocolate Fudge Brownie

Out of all the chocolate flavors I’ve had recently, this one was the best. The chocolate is yummy and smooth and the brownie adds some fun chewy texture to it.

• sweetened with sugar
• non-gmo
• Fairtrade certified

10.) Millie’s Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel

Millie’s chocolate sea salt is great, really easy to eat! Their vanilla flavor is also pretty nice.
