Building on the success of previous dairy-free gelato varieties, Millie's Gelato has launched two new products made from coconut cream. While a number of brands have made an effort to create dairy-free ice cream, many of these products are made from nuts such as cashews and almonds. These two new gelato flavors use coconut to provide consumers with a nut-free dessert that is still vegan-friendly.

The newest additions to the Millie's Gelato line-up include Strawberry Coconut Creme and Vanilla Coconut Creme. The former is made with organic coconut cream, organic strawberries and a hint of raw agave for sweetness. The latter is made from organic coconut cream, organic vanilla extract, rosewater and raw agave. Both are designed to give consumers a nut-free option when it comes to purchasing plant-based gelato.

The new dairy-free gelato flavors are a great dessert option for vegans and consumers with various food allergies.
