While your local grocery store's dairy-free ice cream selections may be slim pickings, there are many great non-dairy recipes available to the home chef. But I have bad news for those wary of fat: ice cream of any kind needs fat. Lactose intolerance may be all about substituting sugars, but the key to tasty, homemade, non-dairy ice cream is to replace one natural source of fat for another. Not only do fat molecules hold flavor, but they're essential to achieving the smooth consistency we all know and love. These homemade dairy-free ice cream recipes give traditional ice cream a serious run for its money.
