SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. — Raise your spoons: Ben & Jerry’s now offers nondairy ice cream.
The Vermont ice cream maker has created four flavors using a certified vegan almond milk base. Available are the classic Chunky Monkey and Chocolate Fudge Brownie flavors, plus a couple of new ones: Coffee Caramel Fudge and P.B. and Cookies.
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. Kirsten Schimoler of Ben & Jerry’s says creating the lineup with a nondairy base composition that meets consumer expectations was quite a challenge. But, she says, “We nailed it.”
The flavors are available in pints.
