Now that the weather is warming up, it's the perfect time to find the vegan ice cream of your dreams. So I'm sharing five more of the best gluten free and dairy free ice cream options I've discovered in the last few months. So whether you have celiac disease and are looking for gluten free ice cream options or just prefer dairy free ice creams, this round up will give you some yummy ideas!

So without further adieu, here are 4+ gluten free and dairy free ice cream brands that every celiac, lactose intolerant or serious foodie should consider trying! 

Gluten Free and Dairy Free Ice Cream #1: Good Kind Superfood Nicecream

Looking for one of the healthiest dairy free ice cream brands out there? It's hard to beat Good Kind Superfood Nicecream, which I was lucky enough to win in a giveaway. Their ice cream is gluten free, vegan, free of artificial colors and flavors and high in plant-based protein thanks to pea protein. You would never guess that from the taste or texture though. While very hard initially, when given 10-20 minutes to thaw, this vegan ice cream becomes super creamy. And I loved that I was getting to enjoy dessert while eating more wholesome ingredients like coconut milk and fruit!

As for the flavors, Mint Chip turned out to be my surprise favorite. At first, it tasted a little medicinal but I became obsessed after a few bites! The only flavor I didn't end up loving was Peanut Butter, which made the texture a little too thick/chunky for my liking. But Good Kind is hands-down one of my favorite vegan ice creams I've ever tried.

Gluten Free and Dairy Free Ice Cream #2: Dream Pops

Dream Pops is another vegan ice cream I've gotten the chance to sample lately, and their ice cream is not only gluten free and dairy free, but also soy free and low sugar. If I had to choose one dairy free ice cream flavor or type of Dream Pops to buy the rest of my life, it would definitely be the Dream Bites. These are basically tiny balls of vegan vanilla ice cream surrounded by a chocolate shell. One word? Addictive!

I've never been as big of a popsicle or ice cream bar person, which may be why I'm not as big of a fan of their Dream Pops. They tended to take a bit to defrost and weren't as flavorful as some other dairy free ice creams I've tried. But I did really enjoy the Chocolate Lion and Berry Dreams flavors, especially if I popped them into the microwave for a few seconds on defrost. And if you love ice cream pops and are looking for a vegan option, definitely give these flavors a try.

Gluten Free and Dairy Free Ice Cream #3: Ben & Jerry's

In case you haven't heard, Ben & Jerry's recently introduced certified gluten free flavors of their classic ice cream. While many of these ice creams are not dairy free, they do have a few gluten free and dairy free flavors including:

• Cherry Garcia, which is made with almond milk and featured cherries and fudge flakes.
• Phish Food, which is made with almond milk and is packed with gooey marshmallows, caramel swirls and fudge fish.
• Karamel Sutra Core, which is again made with almond milk and has fudge chips and a caramel core.

So far, I've only been able to taste Cherry Garcia, which is honestly what I expect is my least favorite flavor since I'm not a huge cherry person. However, I loved the creamy, thick texture of the ice cream and the big chunks of chocolate throughout. And this was SUPER yummy in a homemade ice cream sandwich!

Gluten Free and Dairy Free Ice Cream #4: Coconut Bliss' The Bliss Maker

Like I've written before, I've been a HUGE fan of Coconut Bliss's dairy free ice cream ever since I got my celiac diagnosis. Their coconut-milk-based ice cream is super creamy, and I especially love the chocolate flavors. The cool news is that Coconut Bliss recently launched their own ice cream maker so that you can make their ice cream at home, and I was lucky enough to win one of their first machines. 

To make some dairy free ice cream at home, all I had to do was defrost one of their Soft Serve Mixes (which comes in chocolate and vanilla flavors) and pour in the ice cream maker to churn for 30 mins. I didn't add any fun toppings this time, but I'm definitely thinking that a gluten free cookies and cream situation need to happen soon!

Gluten Free and Dairy Free Ice Cream #5: Jolly Llama

Now this last dairy free ice cream is a bit of a cheat since I haven't actually tasted it...but I've heard so many great things about Jolly Llama, I wanted to include it. 

They just released their gluten free and dairy free ice cream sandwiches, which come in vanilla and mint. And if you're more of a dairy free ice cream cone kinda person, they have Gluten Free Premium Vanilla Fudge Sundae Cones and Gluten Free Caramel Chocolate Chip Cones that I am dying to try!

The Best Gluten Free Dairy Free Ice Cream Options: The Bottom Line

Regardless of what the weather looks like for you right now, enjoying some gluten free and dairy free ice cream is always a good idea in my mind. So if you're craving an easy and delicious dessert, I hope this vegan ice cream round-up gives you some inspiration.
