Oat Milk-Based Frozen Desserts

McConnell's Fine Ice Creams Now Offers Dairy-Free Options

— August 25, 2021 — Lifestyle
McConnell's Fine Ice Creams now offers its fan base dairy-free frozen dessert options. The 70+-year-old family-owned business is known for its indulgent desserts. Consumers can now enjoy the same creamy taste with the brand's plant-based desserts.

The newest line is made from scratch at the McConnell's Family Dairy using its proprietary and innovative base of oat milk, cocoa butter, and coconut oil. The company is "thrilled to debut our newest line of Dairy-Free Frozen Desserts," as expresses McConnel's co-owner, Michael Palmer. Not only does the plant-based line taste amazing, but it also adheres to a larger range of dietary restrictions, which allows all fans to experience the company's decadent flavors. Some flavors in the new line include Chocolate Fudge & Cookies, Passion Fruit Lemon Swirl, and Coffee Cookie Crumble.
