Hello everyone. With this heat wave upon us, I thought it would be helpful to share a curated list of my favourite gluten- and dairy-free ice cream recipes. Whether you prefer fruity, chocolatey, nutty or a classic float, you’ll find something to try below.
Enjoy!
Fx
- 1. Coffee Chocolate Chip Ice Cream (Gluten & Dairy Free)
- I love coffee first thing in the morning, and it’s a flavour I often fold into ice cream. This version uses coconut milk, maple syrup, espresso and dairy-free chocolate chips for a simple, rich 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 perfect for warm days.

- 3. Salted Caramel Ice Cream (Gluten & Dairy Free)
- Salted caramel was one of the most requested flavours from readers. I use 1/4 teaspoon of salt to balance the sweetness, but you can adjust to suit your taste.

- 4. Raspberry Float (Gluten & Dairy Free)
- This raspberry float is a nostalgic favourite. Make your own dairy-free vanilla ice cream or use a good-quality store-bought option to save time.

- 5. Peanut Butter Choc Chip Ice Cream (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
- Peanut butter is a classic for a reason. If you’re avoiding nuts, substitute with a nut-free or seed-based butter for a similar, delicious result.

- 6. Mocha Ice Cream (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
- This mocha recipe yields a large tub, making it ideal for prepping ahead and sharing with family or friends.

- 7. Pumpkin Spiced Ice Cream Float (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
- Learn to make a creamy, dairy-free pumpkin spiced ice cream. You can serve it plain or turn it into a float for an extra-special treat.

- 8. Choc PB Banana Frozen Shells (Gluten & Dairy Free)
- This recipe makes fudgy ice lollies. If you don’t have wooden sticks, try setting them in a madeleine shell tin as I did.

- 9. Ice Cream Biscuit Bars (Gluten & Dairy Free)
- These bars sit somewhere between an ice cream cookie sandwich and a choc ice—crispy, creamy and portable.

- 10. Banana Ice Cream (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
- This was the first ice cream recipe I posted on the site. It’s incredibly simple, uses just a few ingredients, and remains a family favourite. Here it’s topped with a drizzle of gluten- and dairy-free caramel sauce.
