  1. 3. Salted Caramel Ice Cream (Gluten & Dairy Free)
  2. Salted caramel was one of the most requested flavours by readers. I use 1/4 teaspoon of salt for a balanced sweet-salty finish, but adjust to taste if you prefer more or less salt.

  1. 5. Peanut Butter Choc Chip Ice Cream (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
  2. Peanut butter is a classic and one of my top picks. If you need a nut-free option, try a seed butter alternative for similar creaminess and flavour.
