We got a little Nut’d.

And turned plants into something indulgent.

​

Since the early 2020's, founder Juvan Nel found himself searching for plant-based ice cream in the Garden Route where options were almost non-existent. But the craving didn’t go away — for something creamy, indulgent, and worth every spoonful.

​

So he made his own.

​

With no machines and no fancy setup, just a love for food, cooking, and experimenting, the first batches were frozen in sheet pans and mixed by hand — over and over again — chasing that perfect texture. It wasn’t easy. But it was worth it.

​

Because something unexpected happened.

​

The ice cream turned out rich. Smooth. Indulgent. The kind you don’t expect from something made without dairy.

A few years later, when his partner tasted it for the first time, the reaction was simple:

“This is as good as the real thing.”

​

That moment changed everything.

​

What started as a personal experiment became something bigger — a response to a gap, a craving, and a belief that plant-based ice cream should never feel like a compromise.

​

And so, Nut’d was born.

Creamy, dreamy, and completely dairy-free.
