10 Best Vegan Ice Creams | UK Dietitian Reviewed

We're incredibly excited to see that one of the UK's favourite Swedish vegan brands has launched their very own ice cream! We all know how amazingly smooth Oatly milk is, so just imagine it as a frozen dessert.

Made with approximately 15% strawberries, the flavour is much stronger than regular ice cream. It actually tastes like you're eating a bowl of fresh berries, and we can't think of a better sweet treat to tuck into on a hot summer's day!

ASDA's Free From vanilla ice cream may be a surprise hit for those with food allergies and intolerances. Not only is it totally vegan, but this coconut-based alternative is safe for those who wish to avoid gluten and soy. Its creamy texture and delicious vanilla-like flavour makes this a great side on your favourite dessert.

It does, however, contain some heavily refined ingredients including sugar. But, seeing as it's made in the UK without any palm oil, we won't hold it against them! If you want a good alternative to regular ice cream, this is the one for you. 

Just like the packaging says, 'make every day your birthday!' with this tub of ice cream made from vegan cake pieces and rainbow sprinkles. Created by Wicked Kitchen, a company based in the US and exclusively sold at Tesco, this ice cream really is one-of-a-kind! Some customers have compared the flavour to that of Bakewell Tarts, Vanilla Cake and Marzipan! 

Though not suitable for those with gluten or nut allergies, this ice cream does not include palm oil, which is a plus. Additionally, the amount of ice cream you get for the price makes this a great choice. If you are wanting to try something new, different and unique, this is the one!

We all know how tasty and popular the dairy version of Ben and Jerry's cookie dough is, it's basically like having a pack of chocolate chip treats crumbled into ice cream. It is the perfect sweet treat for any movie night with friends! Just because you're vegan, it doesn't mean you have to miss out on the deliciousness, this version tastes so amazing, you won't be able to tell the difference!

That said, sadly it is not suitable for those with gluten and nut allergies. Additionally, this product contains quite a high amount of sugar. Although this ice cream is a bit more expensive than many of our other picks due to the slightly smaller container size, it's totally worth every penny if you ask us!

Not only is this family-size tub of vanilla ice cream very affordable, it's delicious too! Free from both nuts and gluten, it's suitable for a wide range of diets - although it does of course contain soy. Just add sauces and toppings to create your own tasty dessert or add it to any other desserts such as vegan brownies or fruit crumble.

As this is an extremely popular product, it's available on most supermarket websites. So you'll never have to worry about missing out on ice cream again! This is also a good choice for those concerned with sustainability, as the company has actively ensured that both the tub and lid are fully recyclable.  

A vegan ice cream that's made with only 7 simple ingredients? Count us in! We particularly like how the sweet caramel sauce wonderfully complements the gentle vanilla flavour of this cashew-based product.

Natural agave syrup is the only ingredient used to add sweetness to this ice cream, so you don't need to worry about having a sugar rush after eating it! Booja Booja is also a British company that manufactures all of their products in the UK, making this tub an eco-friendly choice too. Yet, given that this flavour is quite nutty, it may not be to everyone's taste!

This is another decadent chocolate ice cream from Roar that's totally delicious! Those who prefer a smooth texture might be put off by the crunchy hemp seeds, but who doesn't love ice cream with chunks of brownies?

Most importantly, Roar has partnered with Panthera (a wild cat conservation organisation) for their "Tigers Forever" programme which aims to increase the number of tigers in the wild. So you can do your part to save wild cats, just by buying this ice cream!

If you're keeping an eye on your calorie consumption, but find frozen treats hard to resist, Halo Top's plant-based ice cream may be your perfect match. At only 380 calories per tub, you can help yourself to the whole thing should you so wish, without making too much of a dent in your daily allowance.

Before you get too carried away, be aware that although it's low-calorie, this isn't the healthiest choice when looking at the ingredients. This ice cream also contains palm oil, with no mention as to its sustainability.

This tub by Roar is another nut-based option that perfectly balances crunchy hazelnuts with rich chocolate. The cookie pieces are what make this plant-based ice cream truly delectable, so it's certainly one worth considering if you're after an indulgent treat.

Unfortunately, the sugar content is quite high. That said, the sweeteners used are raw cane sugar and rice syrup, which are slightly healthier than refined sugar-laden alternatives.

This is the only almond-based ice cream on this list, so if you're nuts about salted caramel, then we reckon you'll love it! It's free from palm oil too, so you can enjoy a scoop or two with a clear conscience. 

We have to admit that the salted caramel taste isn't super strong. Still, it's one of the few vegan brands that offer this popular flavour so it's definitely worth trying!
