The ice cream industry that caters to frozen desserts made without ingredients derived from milk, cream, and butter is called dairy-free ice cream. These types of ice creams are usually made with alternatives, such as plant-based milk, purees from fruits, or other non-dairy sources. Dairy-free ice creams are directed towards lactose-intolerant, vegan, and dairy-allergic individuals, as well as people who would otherwise avoid dairy for health or ethical reasons.
