Ice Cream: Coeliac/Gluten Free Guide
Here’s a few bits and pieces you might find useful to help get the very best coeliac friendly, dairy free ice cream! From cones and sprinkles to a list of the safe options from the ice cream man!!
(1) Gluten free cones exist
Yep, its true!! I’m not going to lie, its a bit like eating gluten free bread… not quite the same but better than missing out!
This is the brand I’ve bought in the past from Amazon and H&B. Click here for the companies website where you can find a list of stockists.
(2) Sprinkles aren’t always gluten free
They sometimes contain wheat. Grrrrr. Here’s one I’ve nearly slipped up on before:
(3): Careful of CC when eating at an ice cream parlour
Its likely that not all the ice creams are gluten free & I’m 99% sure the cones wont be either. Standard rules apply – are there cone crumbs everywhere? Will they use a clean scoop for you? Maybe can you even ask them to use a fresh tub just incase?
(4) Want a bit of sauce of on your ice cream?
The Askey’s range is great! Here it is – even the toffee sauce is gluten free (but contains dairy).
(5) Comprehensive List of Coeliac Safe Ice Creams
Here’s my quick list of the most popular/readily available lollies (correct as of summer 2019). You might find some surprising bits…
