Dairy-Free Ice Cream
Dairy-Free Ice Cream
The essential idea
Dairy-free is an ingredient statement, not a complete allergy guarantee.
Recipes made without milk can still be produced in environments where milk is handled. People with milk allergy should review current allergen information and discuss cross-contact controls before ordering. Lactose intolerance and milk allergy are different considerations.
🍧
Fruit sorbets
Often the simplest dairy-free format, with fruit, water and sugar as the structural core.
🌾
Oat scoops
Mild and creamy, especially suited to vanilla, caramel and biscuit flavours.
🥥
Coconut creams
Rich body and a distinctive aroma that works well with cacao and tropical fruit.

Common questions
Before the next scoop.
Product recipes and operating conditions can change. For allergies or specific dietary needs, request current information before ordering.
Is lactose-free the same as dairy-free?
No. Lactose-free dairy products still contain milk proteins and are not suitable for milk allergy.
Can dairy-free products contain soya?
Yes. Soya may be used in a base, chocolate or emulsifier and should be declared when relevant.
Are waffle cones dairy-free?
Some are, some are not. Cones may contain milk, butter or shared-equipment warnings.
