The cashew milk So Delicious brand is the creamiest and best I’ve had so far. The chocolate brownie version helps me get my traditional Dairy Queen blizzard fix.

[ColoradoTodd]

Interesting, you didn't seem to include a cashew based ice cream. I find those to have that perfect ice cream texture.

[connieprince]

Thank you for the non dairy tastings. I am lactose intolerant and would like to see non-dairy cheese testing, too.

So the real ice cream was their fave, and the coconut tasting one (not just plain chocolate) was #2. I feel so many were not represented here.

I get my mom(who generally has tummy issues with real ice creams) a local brand called Clementine's. They make all sorts of ice creams(nice or naughty, aka made with alcohol), sorbets and they make some good vegan ice creams. Pricey, yes. It just makes (cheap-o) me savor it, instead of inhaling it.

So many great vegan choices were left out of this. Cocoa Bliss, So Delicious, even Ben and Jerry's.

The Cado Chocolate Avocado ice cream is amazing, it is so rich and super creamy!!

[daverobertgibson]

Oatly is by far the best non-dairy ice cream. Please add this to your testing.

[charlieyoungblood]

Try So delicious Cashew ice cream, it will beat all those options.

Some of the best ice cream I've had was vegan. Extremely creamy and rich. It was from a smaller "artisanal" manufacturer though. Earthy flavors like chocolate, coffee, etc., work very well with a nut-based ice cream. Also just having the plain nut flavors is great, toasted almond ice cream is fantastic.

Tried making coconut-based ice cream myself once but it got grainy and rock hard - I have a few ideas on how to fix that though.

Jeni’s Texas Sheet Cake is my all time favorite dairy free. Absolutely insane how creamy and chcolatey it is. Just had it yesterday!!

[SheilaR.]

I like several of Ben & Jerry's vegan flavors, especially the brownie one. My all-time favorite is So Delicious vanilla soy ice cream, but that has all but disappeared in favor of coconut, almond, and cashew versions. I'd have a scoop of it with the Ben & Jerry's brownie flavor to balance it a bit.

I love Americas Test Kitchen! It is one of the best cooking shows out there in my opinion!

[tom_something]

"I still think I won."
"I know you do."

Some of my favorite banter ever!

[cherrybearylemondrop]

Try Brave Robot: real milk, animal-free, creamy

[catherineb]

thanks for making me laugh, I needed that

[brownbutterb-roll]

Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Fudge Brownie non-dairy sprinkled with Maldon sea salt is a revelation.🙌🏾🥰

[dash_cam]

I'd like to know what was not great about 'Cado'. I've had their dark chocolate and it was absolutely delicious, especially compared to Halo Top and other brands. It was soft, chocolatey, rich, and I couldn't taste the avocado.

[tkhri]

I'm surprised my go-tos aren't even on the list! SO Delicious Wondermilk, Ben & Jerry's, Oatly, Van Leewen

[werthmelissa]

Ben & Jerry's and Haagen-Dazs one are my favorites. I'm not lactose intolerant but I tried them anyway and I have a few friends that are lactose intolerant and I would recommend it to them.
