Hello everyone — with the heat wave in full swing I thought it would be helpful to share a selection of my favourite gluten- and dairy-free ice cream recipes. Whether you crave fruity, chocolatey, nutty or nostalgic floats, there’s something here to suit every taste.
Enjoy!

- 1. Coffee Chocolate Chip Ice Cream (Gluten & Dairy Free)
- This coffee-flavoured ice cream is a great way to enjoy your morning brew in dessert form. Made with coconut milk, maple syrup, espresso and dairy-free chocolate chips, it’s simple to prepare and rich in flavour.
- 2. Banana PB Choc Ices (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
- If you haven’t seen a gluten- and dairy-free choc ice before, try making these at home. They’re surprisingly easy to make and perfect for a portable frozen treat.
- 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 for a balanced sweet-salty finish, but adjust to taste if you prefer it saltier or milder.
- 4. Raspberry Float (Gluten & Dairy Free)
- A nostalgic raspberry float you can make with homemade dairy-free vanilla ice cream, or use a store-bought dairy-free option if you’re short on time. It’s light, refreshing and perfect for sunny days.
- 5. Peanut Butter Choc Chip Ice Cream (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
- Peanut butter is a classic flavour and one of my favourites. If you need a nut-free option, swap in a seed butter or a nut-free spread for similar creaminess and flavour.
- 6. Mocha Ice Cream (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
- This mocha recipe yields a large tub, ideal for prepping ahead and sharing with family or guests. It blends coffee and chocolate notes for a grown-up frozen treat.
- 7. Pumpkin Spiced Ice Cream Float (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
- Try this dairy-free pumpkin spiced ice cream when you want autumnal flavours. The recipe also shows how to turn it into a float if you prefer a fizzy, creamy twist.
- 8. Choc PB Banana Frozen Shells (Gluten & Dairy Free)
- These make delightful fudgy ice lollies. If you don’t have wooden sticks, you can set them in a madeleine shell tin or any shallow mould to create individual frozen shells.
- 9. Ice Cream Biscuit Bars (Gluten & Dairy Free)
- A cross between an ice cream sandwich and a choc ice, these biscuit bars combine crunchy biscuit layers with creamy dairy-free ice cream for a satisfying contrast of textures.
- 10. Banana Ice Cream (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
- This simple banana ice cream was one of the first recipes I shared. With just a few ingredients it’s quick to make and reliably loved by the family. I’ve served it here with a drizzle of gluten- and dairy-free caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
