There was a time when the vegan ice cream pickings were slim…

Just a few years ago, vegan ice cream options were limited to a couple of over-priced, gritty, beany-tasting varieties that could only be found at specialty stores. And it was almost unheard of for mainstream grocery stores to carry dairy-free options.

But fortunately for all of us, times have changed! Now there’s a dizzying array of dairy-free, vegan ice cream options in many health food stores, and mainstream markets are even beginning to carry a few of the more popular brands and flavors.

Now there are soy, almond, coconut, and even hemp varieties available in dozens of great flavors. And there’s even good news for those watching their sugar intake. Several sugar-free options are now available – and they are TASTY!

But perhaps even more exciting is how simple (and fun!) it has become to share recipes online.
