Ben & Jerry’s now has non-dairy ice cream, including its classic Chunky Monkey and Chocolate Fudge Brownie flavors.
Although vegan ice cream is nothing new, Ben & Jerry's said it wasn't getting into non-dairy ice cream until the product could please consumers.
The Vermont ice cream maker has created four flavors using a certified vegan almond milk base, including two new ones: Coffee Caramel Fudge and P.B. and Cookies, reported The Associated Press.
The P.B. and Cookies variety is a vanilla non-dairy frozen dessert with chocolate sandwich cookies and crunchy peanut butter swirls.
The company has been getting requests for years to make non-dairy ice cream. Ben & Jerry’s Kirsten Schimoler says creating the lineup with a non-dairy base composition that meets consumer expectations was quite a challenge. But, she says, “We nailed it.”
The flavors are available in pints.
