- 1. Coffee Chocolate Chip Ice Cream (Gluten & Dairy Free)
- I love starting the day with coffee, and it’s a flavour I often use in ice cream. This version combines coconut milk, maple syrup, espresso and dairy-free chocolate chips for a simple, café-style treat.
- 2. Banana PB Choc Ices (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
- If you’ve never seen a gluten- and dairy-free choc ice, try making these at home. They’re easier to make than you might expect and are perfect for on-the-go cooling.
- 3. Salted Caramel Ice Cream (Gluten & Dairy Free)
- Salted caramel was one of the most requested flavours from readers. I use a quarter teaspoon of salt to balance the sweetness, but adjust to your taste for a milder or bolder salt hit.
- 4. Raspberry Float (Gluten & Dairy Free)
- This raspberry float brings back childhood memories. Make your own dairy-free vanilla ice cream or use a shop-bought alternative when time is tight.
- 5. Peanut Butter Choc Chip Ice Cream (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
- Peanut butter is a classic and one of my favourites. If you need to avoid nuts, swap in a nut-free or seed-based butter for a similar creamy result.
- 6. Mocha Ice Cream (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
- This recipe yields a generous tub, making it ideal for prepping ahead and sharing with family or friends.
- 7. Pumpkin Spiced Ice Cream Float (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
- This shows how to make a rich dairy-free pumpkin-spiced ice cream. Serve it as an autumnal float or enjoy it straight from the tub.
- 8. Choc PB Banana Frozen Shells (Gluten & Dairy Free)
- Use this recipe to make fudgy ice lollies or set the mixture in madeleine shell tins if you don’t have lolly sticks—either way they’re deliciously indulgent.
- 9. Ice Cream Biscuit Bars (Gluten & Dairy Free)
- This hybrid recipe sits somewhere between an ice cream cookie sandwich and a choc ice—perfect for a handheld treat.
- 10. Banana Ice Cream (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
- This was the first ice cream recipe I posted and remains a family favourite. It’s incredibly simple, uses few ingredients, and here I’ve finished it with a drizzle of gluten- and dairy-free caramel.
