The company: Los Angeles–based Halo Top is best known for its “guilt-free” ice creams-280-360 calories per pint, depending on the flavour. Supermodel Karlie Kloss claims to “ smash a whole pint” when she’s on a bender. The calorie count: 90 calories per half cup (125 ml). The blind taste-test Halo Top Toasted Coconut Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert To find the best dairy-free ice creams, we set up a blind taste-test at one of our friendly neighbourhood gyms, One Academy. We brought in tubs of eight different options, from brands big and small-with the labeling all covered up to preserve the mystery-and asked a bunch of sweaty athletes for their totally honest reviews. The question is, how convincing are they? We all know these dairy-free tubs are trying to pass for the real deal. There’s a growing variety of substitute ingredients, too, including coconut milk, cashew or almond milk, and tigernut milk.Īccording to Canadian regulations, “ice cream” is a term reserved for products containing dairy, with specific percentages of milk fat. So these are officially labelled “frozen dessert,” but that’s just a technicality. Whether you’re vegan, lactose-intolerant or dairy-averse for other reasons, you have more choices than ever: Halo Top’s dairy-free options arrived in Canada last month, for example, while brands like Ben & Jerry’s have rejigged some of their most popular flavours to create zero-dairy versions. If you’ve skimmed the freezer section lately, you’ve probably noticed that dairy-free “ice creams” are trending.
