What is Vegan Ice Cream Made Of? The Secrets Behind Those Guilt-Free Scoops

September 30, 2024

Admit it – you’ve wondered the same thing before, too. What is vegan ice cream made of? Can it ever be as good as the original dairy version?

Listen, we love gelato. In fact, we’re a little bit obsessed. And when you love something this much, you want to share it with the world. That can be a bit of a problem with something that is usually made with a lot of milk and cream. It’s more than just a health trend. There are many reasons why people choose to go vegan, from lactose intolerance to ethics, but none of them should mean that they miss out on this creamy sweet treat.

Enter the humble sorbet.

Fruit Forward: Sensational Sorbets

Traditionally, sorbet’s ingredients are simple: water, sugar, and fruits. Often, they don’t contain fat, which makes them a great choice if you’re on a diet – or for anyone who wants to keep things light and refreshing.

Note that there’s a difference between fat-free and no-added fat. In the latter, original fats from the ingredients may remain, but nothing has been added beyond that. The same goes for dairy and gluten, so always ask your local gelateria if you have an intolerance or any allergies.

Flavors to try: Our Strawberry or Mango Sorbet

Creamy, Dreamy Plant-Based Delights

Coconut cream and cocoa butter are some of our favorite ways to mimic the creaminess of dairy gelato while keeping it all 100% vegan-friendly. The best part? The coconut flavor itself can be a highlight!

Another incredible vegan ingredient is cocoa butter. It’s rich and chocolatey with a delightfully smooth texture. But there are tons of creative vegan options out there! Just make sure to confirm all the ingredients before you indulge, and lose yourself in the experience!
