LIST: Dairy-free ice cream options in Metro Manila
Check out these local, plant-based ice creams that will please any vegan and lactose-intolerant sweet tooth

There has been a huge push for people to shift to a plant-based diet, with more people adopting a dairy-free, and even vegan lifestyle.

Luckily, the shift considers sweet treats like ice cream. The plant-based version is vegan-friendly and good for the lactose intolerant, because cow’s dairy milk is replaced with nuts or grain-based milks. (READ: LIST: Dairy-free milk options you can get online)

Whether you’re checking out some local brands to gift your vegan friend, or just want to give plant-based desserts a try, these ice cream brands promise the same goodness of regular ice cream.

Super Scoops

A struggle some people who have gone plant-based might have is a lack of availability at bigger chain markets. Not only does Super Scoops by The Superfood Grocer deliver within Metro Manila, but they can also be found at several major groceries and specialty shops all over the country.

Super Scoops uses no dairy, eggs, or artificial flavoring and sweeteners in their ice cream, and even supports local coconut farmers by using only coconut sugar. Their 8 flavors use high-quality ingredients like Japanese matcha, gluten-free brownies, and Philippine chocolate.

Their flavors include Dark Chocolate, Milky Matcha, and Choco Milk for those who like their ice creams without mix-ins. For more of a bite, check out their Coffee Cashew Crumble, Choco Brownie Madness, Vanilla Brownie Crumble, Strawberries and Cream, and Vanilla Caramel Pecan.

Most Super Scoops come in two sizes: by the pint and 100mL mini cups. Orders can be placed through The Superfood Grocer’s website for Metro Manila orders. Partner shops can also be found there.

Ambassador’s Vegan Ice Cream

Ambassador’s Ice Cream is a local vegan ice cream brand that promises lactose-free, cholesterol-free, and plant-based pints that don’t scrimp on quality and flavor. The brand uses a variety of chickpea, rice, and nut milks as well as coconut sugar to keep their ice creams cholesterol and lactose-free and within a low glycemic index.

The wide variety of Ambassador’s ice cream flavors include the new, limited edition Vanilla Mega Cookie (P345), made in collaboration with Earth Desserts. It’s flavored with coconut and cashew milk.

Other favorites are the Malagos Mudpie (an Oreo coffee cashew ice cream made of 80% Malagos chocolate), Mango Biscoff, Tsokolate Tablea, Horchata, and Blueberry Cheesecake.

Ambassador’s Vegan Ice Creams come in cups, pints, half-gallons, and for select flavors, as an ice cream pie. Order through the Go!Salads website for delivery or pick up some at Go!Salads branches.
