Delicious Vegan Ice Creams and Frozen Treats to Sweeten Your Day
Everybody loves a delicious frozen treat—that is, unless it contains dairy or eggs. There’s nothing to love about industries that abuse cows and chickens for profit. The good news for animals and compassionate consumers is that tons of delicious vegan ice creams, sorbets, and other frozen desserts are widely available from some of the most popular brands in the world.
If you’re craving a cold and creamy treat made without any animal-derived ingredients, you’ve come to the right place. Take a look through this list of our top vegan choices—it’s sure to make your mouth water.
ICE CREAMS
Ben & Jerry’s
Few other ice cream chains come close to offering as many vegan options as Ben & Jerry’s. The iconic Vermont-based company boasts dozens of nondairy flavors, including in the form of “core” pints (with one flavor in the center of another).
Oatly
Oatly’s ice cream is made from a base of oat milk, so it’s 100% vegan. Try irresistible flavors like Fudge Brownie, Mint Chip, and Salted Caramel.
Favorite Day by Target
Target brand Favorite Day makes vegan ice creams out of almond milk, in mouthwatering flavors like Caramel Brownie and Pumpkin Pie. We’re always happy to see these on-target decisions from the popular retailer.
Breyers
Looking for vegan versions of classic ice cream options? Breyers has you covered, offering timeless flavors like Vanilla, Chocolate, and Cookies & Crème made with oat milk and almond milk.
Arctic Zero
With the first faba bean–based frozen desserts, Arctic Zero sets the bar high—its tasty pints are lighter than dairy-based ice creams. Try Cake Batter, Vanilla Latte, and (chocolate lovers, take note!) the ultra-rich Purely Chocolate.
SORBETS
Häagen-Dazs
Sorbets (or sorbettos) are frozen desserts made with water, sugar, and fruit. Häagen-Dazs has five refreshing flavors like the sweet and smooth Mango and the tangy and fruity Raspberry.
Talenti
Talenti also offers tasty vegan sorbettos including Cold Brew Coffee, Zesty Lemon, and Summer Strawberry. They’re not only dairy-free but also gluten-free and GMO-free, making them top picks for anyone trying to eat healthier. 💪
ICE CREAM SANDWICHES
Alden’s
Alden’s Dairy Free Round Sammies fit perfectly in your hand and come in Vanilla Bean, Key Lime, and Caramel Drizzle—a taste for every mood. There’s also a gluten-free Vanilla Bean version, offering the same great vegan flavor with even fewer allergens.
Tofutti
Tofutti Cuties are adorable, and it’s almost as fun to say their name as it is to eat them. With tasty ice cream (made of soy protein and tofu) in between two soft, chocolatey wafers, they’re the ultimate vegan treat.
Trader Joe’s
If you love shopping for exciting vegan products at Trader Joe’s, you’ll want to know about the Vanilla Oat Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert Sandwiches. Great for any occasion, these sweet treats will melt in your mouth and have you adding another TJ’s fave to your “must-have” list.
BARS AND POPS
Dairy Queen
Even a company with “dairy” in its name has hopped on the nonstop vegan ice cream train. Non-Dairy Dilly Bars from DQ are gluten-free delights featuring coconut cream and a crunchy chocolate coating.
GoodPop
In 2009, University of Texas student Daniel Goetz started his journey toward making wholesome treats with clean ingredients. Now, his company, GoodPop, is a vegan dessert trailblazer offering delectable bars like the Fudge n’ Caramel Crunch, made with fair-trade ingredients and without GMOs, artificial dyes, or refined sugar.
365 by Whole Foods Market
Whole Foods’ 365 brand has a ton of fruity frozen pops to satisfy a sweet tooth. Cool off on hot summer days with Strawberry, Strawberry Lemonade, Lime, Lemon, Mango, or Caribbean Mix Fruit Bars for bursts of chilly fruit flavors.
Chloe’s Fruit
Whether you’re after simple fruit pops or creamy pops without the dairy, Chloe’s fits the bill. The brand’s fruit pops contain only fruit, water, and cane sugar—and the creamy pops, like the Raspberry Chip ones, are a smooth blend of fruit and oat milk.
