Whether you’re lactose intolerant or just avoiding dairy, ice cream for dessert usually means an empty bowl of sadness or perhaps a serving of sorbet — but it doesn’t have to. Here are 10 dairy-free recipes to satisfy any creamy ice cream cravings.

Coconut milk is the star in many of these recipes because it produces an ice cream that is creamier and less icy than other dairy alternatives, such as soymilk. But frozen banana also makes an appearance in a chocolate twist on our favorite one-ingredient ice cream, and La Tartine Gourmand has an intriguing “fake” ice cream made with raspberries, sugar and egg white.
