National Chocolate Ice Cream day is June 7th, and I highly recommend celebrating with one (or all!) of these decadent, chocolatey, sweet treats from local Birmingham creameries.

One of Big Spoon’s staple flavors, the Valrhona Dark Chocolate ice cream is a chocolate lover’s dream. Add malt to take your milkshake to the next level.

This is not the rectangular, freezer-burnt ice cream sandwich of your youth. I recommend pairing the peanut butter brownie ice cream with pretzel toffee cookies for the ultimate National Chocolate Ice Cream Day celebration.

Is this one of the best chocolate ice creams I’ve ever had? Yes. Is it dairy-free? Also, yes. And you’d never know it besides a hint of coconut flavoring from the key dairy-free ingredient, coconut cream. May all vegans and lactose-intolerant folks rejoice!
