PUBLISHED November 10th, 2020 05:00 am | UPDATED November 17th, 2020 05:27 pm
If you’re of the mind that vegan or dairy-free ice cream can’t be just as delicious as the real thing, let me stop you right there. This might have been true, but the recent boom in plant-based alternatives has resulted in some truly delicious dairy substitutes, making for spectacular ice creams that are just as creamy and luxurious as their lactose-laden counterparts. And here’s where to find the best vegan and dairy-free ice creams in Singapore:
Smoocht
You might recognise Smoocht by its former name Brownice, an Italian eatery that served up delicious vegan ice creams and pizzas. While they now focus more on cafe-type fare, with vegan cheesecakes and lattes as well as some mains to round out the menu, their signature R’ice creams still dominate. Opt for classic flavours like Rich Dark Chocolate (S$15 per pint) and Earl Grey Lavender (S$17 per pint), or try something a little different like Atlantic Sea Salt Gula Melaka (S$15 per pint).
Smoocht Pantry (Smoocht x Bold) is located at 319 Jurong East Street 31 #01-58, 600319, p. +65 6266 5691. Open Sun — Thurs 12pm — 9pm and Sat 12pm — 9.30pm. Also available for delivery.
