Perfect for those with dietary limitations or those cutting down on white sugar, these ice creams use a variety of nut milk bases and low GI coconut flower nectar sugar. The brand has also partnered with other plant-based products to come up with new flavours as well, for example, oat milk from Oatside, plant protein Plantae, and an ice cream collab with Matan.

Considering that this ice cream is from 137 Degrees, a brand that already impresses us with its almond milk, we take it that we can trust their alternative ice cream as well. Made fundamentally with almond milk and no added cane sugar, fans of almonds will love the mild flavour and smooth texture of Happy Addey. Our picks are the Extreme Dark Chocolate with Chewy Fudge, Yogurt Blueberry, and Cheesecake with Strawberry.

Named after the Greek goddess of health, nature, and longevity, there are no prizes for guessing what this brand puts at the centre of its values. Hebe’s artisinal plant-based ice creams use only natural sweeteners from organic cane, almond oils, and plant-based milk. They also have a completely sugar-free flavour, the ‘Naked Chocolate’. Their ingredients list may look super healthy, natural, and clean, but their flavours are unbelievably decadent. Full, rich, creamy – flavours such as ‘Mighty Matcha’ and ‘Viva Violet’ will make you wonder why other ice creams needed milk at all.
