Through the magic of science, they 've unlocked the flavor and texture of dairy in an entirely plant-based dessert. That was, until I got the chance to try Brave Robot ice cream. While I can definitely get behind low-sugar, low-calorie and vegan options on occasion, I 've found that there 's really no substitute for the real thing when it comes to flavor and texture. To fairly compare the ice creams, I chose chocolate-forward flavors, but also listed additional noteworthy flavors that each brand has to offer.As an ice cream fanatic who reviews tasty treats as part of her job, I 've tried a lot of frozen desserts in my time.

I reviewed six non-dairy ice creams to see how they stack up to a pint of Ben and Jerry’s. If you’re sick of missing out on ice cream because of your dietary restrictions, today’s your lucky day. Plus, most grocery store frozen desert aisles only offer a handful of non-dairy flavors compared to their real deal counterparts. Sure, you’ll stop clutching your knotty stomach all the way to the bathroom, but you’ll still end up with a sugar overload headache afterward. Without fat from milk, it’s hard to infuse that same creamy goodness into milk-free ice cream.įlavor-wise, big brands also load their offerings with tons of sugar, trying to make up for the aforementioned weird texture. I’ve been whining and moaning about non-dairy options at grocery stores for years because a lot of mainstay brands miss the mark. Thankfully, a new generation of ice cream makers are perfecting their non-dairy selections. As I’ve gotten older, my digestive system seems to have maxed out its dairy limit, and I’m no longer able to enjoy the cheesy, melty, creamy foods I once loved so much. Like many people, I once enjoyed cheese plates, cheesecake, milkshakes, and most importantly - ice cream. Our editorial team is independent and only endorses products we believe in.
