# Allergen-Friendly Dairy-Free Ice Cream Sunscoop's Creamy Flavors are Fueled by Clean Ingredients By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2022-04-08 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunscoop References: [greenqueen.hk](https://www.greenqueen.com.hk/sunscoop-seed-funding-plant-based-ice-cream/) & [sunscoop](https://sunscoop.com/collections/new-pints)  Los Angeles-based and female-founded allergen-friendly ice cream brand Sunscroop makes [dairy-free frozen desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-dairy-free-decadence-series) that are rich and creamy in texture and fueled by clean ingredients. The superfood flavors offer inventive takes on classic ice cream favorites, such as Cookie Whoa!, Vanilla Bean Cream and Cold Brew Swirl. Organic coconut cream is one of the ingredients that give the dairy-free ice cream desserts its rich and creamy texture, and the recipes are infused with ingredients like dried coffee, mushroom powder and blue spirulina extract. These plant-based, vegan and gluten-free ice creams are appealing to all, regardless of their dietary preferences.
