Vegan coolers: 8 dairy-free ice creams put to the taste test

While shopping for our recent ice cream survey (July 2), we came across some outstanding non-dairy samples that deserved a Top 8 of their own. We found delicious ice creams on sticks and in cones, ideal if dairy-free is not a preference for all the family.
Ice cream may well be cooling on a blazing summer’s day but remember it’s a high-calorie treat. All varieties contain sugar and some form of fat – dairy isn’t the only culprit. Most samples notched up as many as 200 calories, much the same as dairy ice cream, which could be more than an eighth of our daily intake.
