WHETHER YOU ARE A VEGAN, LACTOSE INTOLERANT, or just want something light on a hot day, non-dairy ice cream options are super important. I am what I like to call a “mostly vegan”: I do my best to have an all plant-based diet (for environmental and dietary reasons) but will have the occasional non-vegan item – sometimes accidentally, sometimes not. Regardless, I only eat non-dairy ice cream because the alternative gives me too much tummy trouble. I called 15 – yes, 15 – different ice cream places in the Valley and found that only fve sell non-dairy options. Three of those fve places serve Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream, which usually offers a variety of non-dairy options, so I went to all of those places anyway. My non-dairy-eating roommate, Anna, came with me to all fve places so we could both give our honest feedback about their non-dairy options.

C & J’s Candy Store & Scoop Shoppe

342 MAIN ST. E, MENOMONIE

C&J’s, the frst stop on our trek, serves Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream. With one Italian ice favor on the menu, we made our decision relatively easily. We got a scoop of the Raspberry Lemon Italian ice (with sprinkles, of course) and it was delicious. There is something about Chocolate Shoppe’s Italian ice that is so light and refreshing, and the consistency is super soft and amazing. We were happy.

Custer’s Cones

17183 50TH AVE., CHIPPEWA FALLS

Our second shop also sold Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream, and again had only one non-dairy favor. Luckily, this one was different, so we tried the Carrot Mango Italian ice. I was reluctant, because carrot ice cream? Yuck. But it was by far the best. It had that same amazing texture and it was perfectly sweet.
