Which Van Leeuwen's flavors are vegan and gluten free?

Van Leeuwen Ice Cream was founded in NYC in 2008 and they’ve since become massively popular across the US. From the beginning, Van Leeuwen’s has offered both dairy-based and vegan ice creams. Their flavors range from experimental to pretty standard, so there’s an option for everyone. They even offer vegan hot fudge and whip.

Van Leeuwen’s has a strict manufacturing process to keep allergens separate, but their factory does handle wheat, dairy, soy, nuts, tree nuts, and egg. I have celiac disease and a mild dairy allergy and I’ve never had a reaction from eating their ice cream. Just make sure you read the label or tell their scoop shop employees about your allergy when ordering.

Van Leeuwen’s uses two different bases for their vegan ice cream: one made from cashews, coconut cream and cocoa butter, and another made from oats and coconut cream. On the ice cream package they specify that gluten free oats are used. They also do a really good job of labeling allergens on their flavor board at scoop shops.
