Yes, Delicious Vegan Ice Cream Does Exist

If you’re plant-based or simply prefer milk-alternative products, then you know the struggle of finding a good vegan ice cream. There are countless options available, but a huge portion of them are either icy, full of fake, weird-tasting sugars, or just all-around not as delicious as the dairy-full options. That’s why we decided to take on the behemoth task of trying out as many vegan ice creams as we could get our hands on, so you don’t have to struggle with terrible ice cream.

Now without further ado, here are the 3 best plant-based ice cream flavors on the market (according to us):

1. So Delicious Cashew Milk Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert: Salted Caramel Cluster

Our top pick is So Delicious Cashew Milk Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert in the Salted Caramel Cluster flavor. This vegan ice cream blew us away with its creamy texture and rich flavor. The perfect balance of sweet and salty taste makes this a standout flavor. We couldn’t believe it was dairy-free!

2. Ben & Jerry’s Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert: Cherry Garcia

Next up we have the Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert. Although it’s slightly lighter in texture than our top pick, this is by no means a “healthy” tasting ice cream. It’s packed full of Ben & Jerry’s signature cherries and chocolate chunks—a match made in heaven.

3. Häagen-Dazs Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert: Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge

Last but definitely not least is the indulgent Häagen-Dazs Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert in the Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge flavor. The nutty flavor of the peanut butter mixed with the fudgy goodness is a flavor explosion in your mouth, and the texture is super-creamy and definitely the richest-tasting of the bunch.

Overall, we were pleasantly surprised by both the range and quality of vegan ice creams available at most national grocery stores in the United States. These three specific flavors stood out to us for their great taste and texture, and we heavily endorse all of them.

If you’re looking for dairy-free options that don’t sacrifice on texture or flavor, you need to check out these three flavors for yourself.
