Our Non-Dairy Dilly® Bar is gluten free, dairy-free, and plant-based, made with a coconut cream based protein and finished with our delicious crunchy chocolatey coating.
Available at participating DQ® locations.
Updated April 2022! Dairy Queen is most known for ice cream, but they also offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner fare. In the past, their dairy-free menu items were limited, but now they have quite a few options for non-dairy diners of all ages. In fact, they even have dairy-free ice cream bars! Their non-dairy Dilly Bars are made with vegan chocolate and coconut ice cream. We have the ingredients below, as well as a dairy-free guide to DQ’s entire menu.

Be aware of special order requirements in parentheses () next to the menu items, and see the Heads Up notes to help fill in the blanks. Please note that this guide is for the U.S. locations. Options may vary in other countries.

Can Dairy Queen please come up with more dairy-free options! Your shakes are the only places in a decent radius that has treats like yours but with dairy it’s not a great option for us lactose intolerant people. Thanks for reading this!

Bring non dairy back!
September 21, 2020
I was so excited to find out Dairy Queen carried a non dairy option! After 33 years of not being able to enjoy going anymore, I could go back! I could take my grandson and enjoy a treat myself! Now, last week I go in to purchase another box just to have the Manager tell me they won’t be able to order anymore! Why???? Non-dairy lives matter!

Response from Go Dairy Free
You can contact Dairy Queen to request this. It’s all about demand! There are also many other places that offer dairy-free soft serve locally. See our restaurant guide – we’re currently in the process of revamping it -> //www.godairyfree.org/eating-out/restaurants
