There's vegan ice cream made with soya milk but the name escapes me for the moment. Will post again if I remember it.
What diet do you follow? Oppo ice cream is relatively low carb if that's what you were after. Its not cheap but a little can go a long way.Thanks, that'll be suitably expensive then not to buy! (As a diet controlled diabetic, I can't afford to fall off a strict diet).

Frozen raspberries with some double cream on top... cream kind of freezes around the berries to mimic ice cream. minimal carbs and some nice healthy fats.A healthy diet, but low gi in carbs. Husband is on diabetic medication and to be fair so far his 'numbers' have dropped so well, his meds have been halved, we eat the same but he exercises more than me, where does Oppo ice cream come ftom?

Vegan Cornettos are being launched in Italy so we will no doubt get them in the UK eventually. I think these will contain nuts though, like the original ones.Thanks (but a pity the chocolate has nuts in it). Plenty of vanilla to choose from.
Swedish Glace is a delicious dairy free icecream available in most supermarkets. Some people have suggested pureeing frozen fruit with double cream, but if you want dairy free, use soya yogurt (Tesco's is the nicest IMO) and sweetener (I use Stevia or Xylitol). Frozen mango makes a really yummy icecream! You can make a really creamy 'soft serve' by freezing banana slices, then pureeing them (add an unfrozen banana to help get it going or some soy yogurt). No sweetener needed, but add a little vanilla essence.thanks for all the suggestions. Yes, have had a couple of ice cream makers - but it was never really 'on' having to plug them into the electric so we gave that up as a lost cause some years ago. Doh : should have thought vegan. Just goes to show, 15+ yrs since daughter developed dairy intolerance, and still I forget (as she rarely eats with us)!
Waiotrose, looks like non-dairy ice cream to me from the ingredients list, great chocolate flavour: "Frill The Frozen Smoothie Intense Chocolate", 8.2 grams sugar per 100 ml.not interested in making my own, don't like sorbet. Are there any nom-dairy ones? I know ice cream vans sell them in cones cos my ice cream van man does (I have a dairy intolerant daughter and grandson), but would like to havvsomething to eat on desserts as well as cones. Have discovered what I really like at Waitrose, (cornettos) ought to be kept out of my house on calories alone!!
Thanks!If it's dairy free you are after, you could try these: http://www.dreamplantbased.com/product-category/frozen/ The Almond Dream is available in all normal supermarkets.
