The Best Vegan Ice Cream Brands in the UK 2026
When the weather hots up, there’s nothing quite like vegan ice cream to cool you down. Here are some of our animal-friendly favourites:
Swedish Glace
Swedish Glace produces Italian-style vegan ice cream made with soya, almond, or coconut milk that’s deliciously creamy and comes in vanilla, raspberry, cinnamon, coconut, and chocolate flavours. The brand also offers a box of mini chocolate-covered ice creams, which you can get from Tesco, Ocado, and most other major supermarkets.
Magnum
The iconic ice cream brand recently tapped into the vegan market with two tasty offerings: the Vegan Classic and Vegan Almond. Both are covered with cracking vegan chocolate and make an ideal summer treat.
They’re available from supermarkets, newsagents, and some ice cream vans – and now, in all Odeon cinemas.
Alpro
Dairy-free giant Alpro offers seven vegan ice cream flavours: vanilla, coconut, almond salted caramel, hazelnut chocolate, chocolate, macchiato, and mango passionfruit. We’re big fans!
Booja-Booja
If you’re after something a bit special, Booja-Booja’s cashew-based ice creams are raw, organic, and seriously decadent. You can pick up a tub in Waitrose, in Holland & Barrett, or online at Ocado.
Miiro
MiiRO’s award-winning ice creams are made with coconut milk, nuts, and coconut sugar coated with thick, rich chocolate. You can enjoy these vegan delights in chocolate-hazelnut, peanut butter, and salted caramel flavours. Or go for all three – we won’t judge you.
Whole Creations
Whole Creations’ delicious dairy-free offerings include chocolate and vanilla cones, raspberry swirl cones, and chocolate and almond sticks. They’re available at Sainsbury’s.
Jude’s
Jude’s chocolate vegan ice cream is velvety, creamy, and totally animal-friendly. If you’re a real chocolate fan, then this one’s for you. And as it has no added sugar, the calories don’t count!* (*OK, they do, but it’s worth it.)
Ben & Jerry’s
Treat yourself to Ben & Jerry’s must-have vegan flavours: Chunky Monkey, Peanut Butter & Cookies, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Coconutterly Caramel’d, and Change the Whirled – you won’t regret it.

They’re all palm oil– and GMO-free and naturally sweetened with fruit, and only 13 calories per tsp! Find both in Sainsbury’s or see sweetfreedom.co.uk for stockist info.
Why Vegan Ice Cream?
Cows raised to produce milk may spend their entire lives standing on concrete floors, which can make them lame, and they commonly suffer from painful udder inflammation and other health conditions. Workers take their calves away within a couple of days of birth, causing grief and anguish to both mother and baby.
All animals reared for food suffer. Females are repeatedly forcibly impregnated. Babies are torn away from their mothers, mutilated, kept in filthy and severely crowded conditions.
With so many delicious and healthy plant-based options available, going vegan is easier than ever. Order our free vegan starter kit to get more tips from PETA on making the switch.
