15 Dairy-Free Ice Cream Brands That Taste Like the Real Thing

Sweet Nothings is a top-pick for the GH Nutrition Lab because it's derived from fruits, nuts, dates, chia seeds, and flax seeds. There is no added sugar in this cross between a frozen smoothie and ice cream blend. We love that they come in a tiny portion-controlled cup with a small spoon inside, so you can enjoy them on-the-go or serve as a better-for-you snack to the kids.

Chloe's offers completely dairy free pops for kids and adults of all ages. We love the traditional fruit pops as well as their new oatmilk pops. But our top pick is their dipped pops, especially the coconut which is our RD's favorite. We love the minimal ingredients on these delectable dairy-free sweet treats.

Not only is this frozen dessert dairy-free, but it's also DELICIOUS and made with heart-healthy avocado. Cado use simple, organic, and non-GMO ingredients, and one serving has half the sugar of traditional ice cream. 

These yummy fruit pops have four simple ingredients and use a hint of agave for sweetness. Pineapple and Mango flavors are our RD's favorites, and they range from about 45–60 calories per pop. The perfect refreshing treat on a warm, sunny day.

This dark chocolate variety is dairy-free and makes the perfect sweet treat. Plus, there are only three simple ingredients that go into this frozen dessert.

Chocolate lovers will melt for this Brooklyn-based creamery pint. Full of cocoa flavor, a scoop also boasts a seriously fluffy texture (think chocolate mousse, but even better). This pick is rich, decadent, and made with whole real ingredients.

Meet the new kid on the block: oatmilk ice cream. Dairy-free and nut-free, this pint is absolutely delicious and the vanilla flavor was our favorite. Let it melt a bit or nuke in the microwave for 10 seconds for the perfect consistency.

Our coffee ice cream-connoisseurs enjoyed so many of this brand's java-based flavors. Check out Cold Brew Coffee or Cappuccino for some cafe-inspired scoops. 

Jeni Britton Bauer, the founder of Columbus, OH-based company Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream, has outdone herself with this rich and decadent pint. Loaded with seriously chocolatey flavor and big chunks of chocolate cake, this flavor will make even the milk-lovers believers of dairy-free desserts. 

Introducing the nostalgic flavor that you loved as a kid, without all the dairy. Breyer's has mastered a super sweet and creamy base using almond milk and folds in huge chunks of Oreos for a classic ice cream to add to your sundae. Bonus: This decadent scoop is also vegan!

We loved this carton for its mighty vanilla flavor, with flecks of vanilla bean swirled throughout, and its uber-creamy texture.
