SPECIAL MENTION: Jeni’s is not the first brand to use coconuts to create an alternative ice cream base, but the flavors are so diverse and the texture is so creamy even avowed dairy-lovers may be converted. Options include dark chocolate truffle, frosé sorbet and Texas sheet cake—a chocolate ice cream full of cake crumbles, bittersweet fudge and cocoa. —Sanya Mansoor
