Karamell Swirl Vegan Frozen Dessert

I cannot believe that such a product exists. I have known about this technology for quite some time but only recently discovered it in my local grocery store. I had not tasted 'real' ice-cream for nearly 15 years. I found the taste and texture to be as I remember dairy ice-cream, which even as a non-vegan I liked less than non-dairy ice cream substitutes like sorbet; that is to say it is very soft even when frozen and very 'melty'. I am happy to report that plant-based substitutes are more delicious. That being said, I hope that this product will satisfy those folks who prefer this texture for whatever reason.

This is the 2nd review of a 4 flavors of Nick’s vegan ice cream that I found at Grocery Outlet. Each pint was $2.49. I’m not sure what the cost would be at a full-price retailer as I could never find it anywhere but the dairy version ranges from $4.49-7.29 so I imagine the vegan version would mirror that. This Swedish ice cream is sweetened with sugar substitutes as to keep it low calorie, yet it has a great mouthfeel and doesn’t seem to have any odd aftertaste. It is made with Perfect Day vegan whey so anyone with a dairy allergy should avoid it. I love caramel and this flavor did not disappoint! In my last review, my only small critique was that I wish there had been more mix in swirls. Even though this version has the same amount, I’m glad it doesn’t have any more as that may take it over the edge from sweet to sickly. I have a sweet tooth and really enjoy this flavor but it’s teetering on the edge of too much so keep that in mind if you’re not fond of sweets. I REALLY hope another retailer carries the vegan options for this brand after they’re gone from Grocery Outlet, especially in the warmer months. #veganicecream #icecream #caramel #perfectday #groceryoutletfinds
