Looking for an ice cream alternative? Sink your spoon into these vegan flavours for a treat that’s just as tasty.
We scream for ice cream, and if you’re vegan or lactose intolerant, go ahead and scream a little louder ‘cos you can get on the sticky sweet action. While Singapore is already sprinkled with ice cream parlours, there’s a steady drizzle of vegan ice cream making its way to our sunny shores. Using plant-based alternatives such as almond, rice, coconut and soy milk, dairy-free ice cream is lower in calories but still big on flavours. So, if you’re ditching dairy or simply looking for a healthier option, these vegan ice cream brands in Singapore will hit the sweet spot.

You can’t get healthier than this one right here. It doesn’t just give you guilt-free vegan options – the local brand also sneaks superfoods into its delish creamy treats.

2. Oatly
The popular Swedish brand has branched out to frozen desserts. Its seven fab flavours include chocolate fudge, salted caramel and hazelnut swirl. It’s also totally free from any soy ingredients for those who aren’t fans of the bean. Hey, if this is what the green lifestyle is about, we’re all in.
Oatly, available at RedMart and selected FairPrice Finest outlets
3. Zebra Dream
Okay, just for the record, no zebras or any other animals were harmed in the making of this dairy-free treat. Using coconut as the base, the ice cream is creamy, delish and, not to mention, organic. Choose from delectable flavours like choc peanut ripple and mint and mint choc chip. We’re stocking up for our next Netflix binge fosho!

4. WellSmoocht
From the folks who brought you the now-defunct Brownice, Smoocht operates under the same belief, serving up food that does not harm the planet or its animals. Made from brown rice, fruits and pure nut butters, one scoop of ice cream only contains about 80 to 140 calories (yes to more cheat days!). Expect classic and Asian flavours like chocolate, Thai tea and matcha. Now, don’t mind us if we help ourselves to an extra scoop of dairy-free goodness.

5. Kind Kones
Using only fresh and natural ingredients – sans preservatives, refined sugar, artificial flavouring and all those nasties – Kind Kones offers great alternatives to the sugary dessert. Offering a bevy of fun flavours such as almond brittle fudge, baklava, black forest and charcoal vanilla, the Malaysian brand proves that vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free ice cream can taste just as good too! You’ll never notice the difference.

You know what’s even better than ice cream? An ice cream cookie sandwich. The makers behind this brilliant combo offer frosty flavours like toasted marshmallow, English earl grey, and milk and cookies, but they also throw in a good mix of dairy-free and vegan choices. Yep, even the cookies are vegan! Try options like coconut or dark chocolate for a not-so-guilty treat. And if you want more, sink your spoon into the tubs instead.
