Updated April 2022! In addition to seven flavors of dairy-free ice cream, Oregon Ice Cream offers two three four varieties of single-serve ice cream sandwiches. Alden’s Organic Dairy-Free Sammies were first released in classic Vanilla Bean and Caramel Drizzle varieties. Then the company added Key Lime in 2021. And this year they’ve launched a Gluten-Free Vanilla Bean!
Alden’s Organic Dairy-Free Ice Cream Sammies Now with Gluten-Free Option

More Allergen Notes
Alden’s also makes dairy ice cream, and they have shared the following allergen information.
All of our products are made on shared equipment, which sometimes processes milk, eggs, wheat, soy, tree nuts, and peanuts. We have a strict allergen control policy and work hard to prevent cross-contamination of allergens, but we do not test finished products for the presence of allergens unless the package clearly states the product is free of a specific allergen. Alden’s does test for the presence of dairy / milk in the Dairy Free products. Also, because they are Vegan certified, allergen testing is conducted so customers can feel confident that there is no cross contamination with milk.

I love the Caramel Drizzle
I got a box to try from Costco because they were on sale. My family decided to try them at the same time. None of the four members stopped eating this desert. As a matter of fact, we all started reading the box on this vegan treat. It was so delicious that we all agreed to get 2 more big boxes from Costco. I am far from being vegan or dairy free, but this item is 11 out of 10 stars
Lucious!!
I picked up a vanilla sandwich for my drive home from the grocery store, and it was delicious. I only saw vanilla flavored ones, and I hope that Mom’s will carry the full line. Delicious, creamy non-dairy ice cream.
Love the Caramel Drizzle Sammie
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first opened one. The cookies looked more like crackers. But they were perfectly sweet, soft, and a little sticky. The ice cream was firm, but just creamy enough, and the caramel swirl – oh my, the swirl! It was sweet, salty, sultry, and oh-so addictive. We tried the Vanilla Bean Sammies, too. They were good, just not as wow as the Caramel ones.
You'll Never Know It's Dairy Free!
I bought the vanilla/chocolate sammies. Excellent! Good flavor, good texture, and considerably thicker than the competition. Two thumbs up! I may go back for the caramel flavor.
