The Dilly Bar is a Dairy Queen classic that combines soft serve with a crispy coating of chocolate and for the first time, Dairy Queen is debuting a dairy-free version of this frozen treat on a stick. The Non-Dairy Dilly Bar boasts a creamy coconut milk frozen dessert base with a covering of vegan chocolate, so that the beloved treat keeps its usual look but entirely with plant-based ingredients.
Dilly Bars have been served at Dairy Queen since 1955 and this product represents the first dairy-free offering from the soft serve chain.
Changing lifestyles and values are inspiring consumers to embrace creamy, dairy-free frozen desserts and some of the most popular ice cream desserts of all time are now being reinvented to meet this demand.
