Laura | Published July 7, 2010 Show  Blue Bunny ice cream When the sun is shining and the heat sweltering, what better than a freezing cold bowl of delicious, creamy, ice cream…. For a while now I’ve wondered whether I’m being over cautious when it comes to finding safe ice cream. Are all ice creams gluten free unless then have some obvious cake or cookie topping or do some varieties include certain flavourings or colourings that may contain gluten? I figure the later is probably true which is what keeps me from freely ordering ice cream whenever I get a taste for it. Welcome Blue Bunny, an ice cream company which started in Iowa but whose products are now available all over the States. Their website provides specific gluten information as well as general allergen information. This is what they have to stay about the gluten free status of their products: Gluten

I'm just curious, what are your favorite brands and flavors of gluten free icecream or frozen yougert? I heard directly from the Turkey Hill company that all of their flavors of icecream are gluten free unless it has cookie, graham cracker, brownie, etc. pieces in it. I'm still paranoid to try it though because i don't want to get glutened by cross contamination.

Edy's, except for the obvious ones like cookie dough. I buy the light ones. Really good. Link to commentShare on other sites
Haagen Dazs creme brulee, can't have it anymore because of the casein though. All their flavors are gluten free except for the obvious. Chocolate sorbet for the others like me who need casein free. Link to commentShare on other sites
I buy Breyers since it is a Unilever company and will disclose gluten products in the ingredient label. Link to commentShare on other sites
I always go with Haagen Dazs too, but some of the not so obvious ones have gluten like Tripple Chocolate (there is wheat flour in the truffles) so you need to always read labels. My favorite flavors are Mango, Mayan Chocolate, and Dulce De Leche Link to commentShare on other sites
Haagen Dazs creme brulee...I keep pints of that in my freezer. The best comfort food. Carla I am sorry to hear you can no longer have it. Link to commentShare on other sites
Breyers, Edy's, Ben & Jerry's are all my favorite. I also found Hersheys Cotton Candy ice cream that I love. Link to commentShare on other sitesCeliac.com Sponsor (A8): Celiac.com Sponsor (A8): Celiac.com Sponsor (A8-M): Guest Viola
Chapman's buckets has Gluten Free right on the lid, and all of their smaller boxes will have gluten free before the end of the year. Very good ice cream. I don't know if you can get it in the US though Link to commentShare on other sites
I don't do dairy now, but when I did--Edy's was hands-down the favorite too. If you go on their website--they identify gluten-free flavors as gluten-free in the description. Link to commentShare on other sites
Has anyone tried the new Breyer's Cyclones? As far as I know, there is only 1 flavor we can have (caramel cup swirl or something like that), but mmmm is it good! I missed the "Blizzard" type treats, and this is pretty darn tasty. - Lauren Link to commentShare on other sites
Now that I am eating dairy again I can't wait to try these. Link to commentShare on other sites
My favorites are: Haagen Dazs - Coffee Ice Cream (yet ironicly I hate coffee), Rocky Road Ben & Jerry's - Chunky Monkey, Cherry Garcia and my latest discovery by them, Pistachio. If you like Pistachio ice cream (even if you normally don't but you like pistachios), you must try this. It is the most incredible pistachio ice cream ever. It has whole pistachios in it and it's not that scary green color. It's become my new favorite. Link to commentShare on other sites
I eat Open Original Shared Link. I don't eat much soy, but this is one case where I make an exception. It's very, very low in fat and calories and tastes amazing. I think their "Swiss Dark Chocolate" flavor is the best tasting chocolate ice cream I've tried in a long time.

Chapman's in a box is marked Gluten Free as well as Peanut/Nut free - all important in our family. The taste is great and lots of variety. Link to commentShare on other sites
Perry's has a lot of gluten-free flavors, and now have gluten-free clearly labelled on the package! Edy's is yummy as well. Link to commentShare on other sites
Blue Bunny Ice Cream is all gluten-free except the obvious ones. Their Bunny Tracks is sooooo good. Link to commentShare on other sites
My husband is a huge fan of Edy's Mint Chocolate Chip. It is awesome! Link to commentShare on other sites
most blue bell flavors are ok. my favorite is banana split! also, philly swirl makes some popsicle like treats - both the fruit ones and fudgy ones are awesome! and baskin robbins has several flavors we can have. my favorite is gold medal ribbon. Link to commentShare on other sites
I am absolutely in love with Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey. Just the thought of it brings on the drool! Link to commentShare on other sites
I've had gluten-like reactions to even the most basic Breyer's and Hagen-Dazs flavors (including the ones that Wild Oats Grocery (this is a grocery local to Portland, OR, USA I think) says are gluten-free). I'm wondering if I'm dairy intolerant? I may have to look at that... Has anyone else had reactions to ice creams that are designated gluten-free? Josh Link to commentShare on other sites
As an ice cream lover I'm addicted to Soy Delicious and WholeSoy brands, all flavors gluten free and casien free. Ever tried taking casien out of your diet? If you're finding reactions to other dairy foods good chance you cant have casien (milk protien) either. Link to commentShare on other sites
Thanks Nellie. I haven't had reactions to cheese ('cept lots of snot). I tried Haagen Dazs' Dulche de Leche last night and it treated me just fine. Must have been something else I was eating at the same time. Josh. Link to commentShare on other sites
