Holy dairy free lollies, Batman: Britain's first fully vegan and free-from ice cream parlour has just opened in London
Yorica!, on Wardour Street in Soho, serves ice creams, frozen yoghurts and shakes free from the 14 main allergens, including wheat, gluten, dairy, lactose, eggs, nuts, GMO and artificial sweeteners, while their entire menu is compatible with a vegan diet.
Instead, Yorica!'s ice cream and froyo base recipe uses rick milk and coconut cream, while seaweed, used for thickening, vanilla bean paste and guar gums are among the other ingredients the parlour uses.
