It’s Fourth of July weekend and you need dairy-free vegan ice cream recipes, right? Well, fear not, dieters, vegans, vegetarians, lactose intolerants and those taking medications whose beneficial effects (like absorbing nutrition from the food you eat) would be wiped out by consuming dairy products. I’ve got you covered. Below you’ll find a buffet of six delicious and nutritious dairy free vegan ice cream recipes that will brighten up your table with no sweat on your part.

There’s a little something for everyone, from the classic chocolate, vanilla and strawberry flavors of Neapolitan to the simple decadence of Vanilla, Brownie Chocolate and Butter Pecan. If you’re feeling like a nut, go for the Coconut Almond Chocolate Chip for that Almond Joy effect. Personally, I live in Louisiana, where we love our fig trees and blackberry canes in the backyard, so the Fig, Coconut & Blackberry recipe thrills me to pieces. Y’all have fun and let me know how your Fourth of July turns out.

NOTE: Not all of these are gluten free or sugar free, so check the codes for GF and SF to be sure. Also, A+ means that a recipe has alcohol.

Enjoy the long holiday weekend with these vegan vegetarian 4^th of July recipes. Share the latest trend in beverages with your guests; shrubs. They’re alcohol-free drinks prepared with fruit and vinegar. Just like a fine wine, they grow better with age. One refreshing jug could be drawn from for nearly a month.

Everything else on the vegan vegetarian 4^th of July recipes menu is a grill item, even the Sourdough Sandwich AND the Pound Cake Trifle! Happy Independence Day!

NOTE: If you’ll also be cooking meats on the grill, take care to either have a separate grill or section of the grill for vegan vegetarian items, or carefully clean the grill between meats and vegan vegetarian items. If barbecuing kabobs on wooden skewers, soak the skewers in water at least 30 minutes before grilling.
