    Amy’s Ice Cream: Organic Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert Pints (DISCONTINUED)

    14
    By Alisa Fleming on June 22, 2014 Discontinued Products, Product Reviews

    Surprisingly, Amy’s Ice Cream didn’t last very long on the market (it was quite good!). But many brands have. See our Dairy-Free Ice Cream Reviews for dozens of options that are currently available.

    It was over a year ago that I proclaimed my excitement over the new line-up of Amy’s Ice Cream. It seems my jubilant outburst was just a touch premature. They didn’t make it to market last summer, but they are here now, and let me tell you, I think it was worth the wait.

    Amy's Ice Cream - Organic Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert made with Coconut Milk (Vegan, Dairy-Free)

    Tasting Notes for Amy’s Ice Cream

    There are many wonderful coconut milk frozen desserts on the market. But Amy’s ice cream takes a slightly different approach, focusing on a perfectly whipped consistency and purity of flavors for an intense and more “traditional” ice cream experience.

    Vanilla 

    This was the creamiest, softest vanilla dairy-free ice cream that I had ever indulged in. It remained perfectly scoop-able until the pint was polished off (no need to let it soften at room temperature!). As for the taste, the visible flecks of pure vanilla bean enveloped my taste buds and offered a decadent vanilla flavor that barely hinted at the coconut base. My niece didn’t love it – she prefers a super-sweet vanilla, and this Amy’s ice cream focused on flavor depth rather than excess sugar.

    Chocolate

    Pure cacao lovers will swoon for this deep chocolate delight. For our house it was a touch too intense. We still devoured it, but it wasn’t one we would seek out. This is a dark, I would estimate 80 to 90%, cacao dessert.

    Mint Chip

    It took me a few bites to warm up to this icy flavor, the coconut shined through a bit much at first. But the bold and refreshing mint and generously distributed chocolate chips eventually took charge and won me over. My husband really liked this flavor, too.

    Mocha Chocolate Chip

    My niece (the sweet coffee lover) adored this flavor. It was too “coffee” for me (I’m an herbal tea gal), but I think most espresso fans would happily dive into this Amy’s ice cream flavor.

    Amy's Ice Cream - Organic Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert made with Coconut Milk (Vegan, Dairy-Free)

    Truly Dairy-Free Transition: From the beginning, Amy’s Ice Cream was dairy-free by ingredients, but they were sourcing chocolate for three of the flavors that “may contain trace amounts of milk”. However, according to an Amy’s representative, they have found a delicious truly dairy-free chocolate to use. Beginning this summer (2014) the chocolate-containing varieties will be strictly dairy-free (we were told that they are made on their own line in the Amy’s facility) and reflect that in new packaging. During this transition, strict dairy-free consumers are advised to look for the “new” banner on the pint carton, and to read the ingredient and allergy statement for confirmation.

    The Facts on Amy’s Ice Cream

    Dietary Notes: By ingredients, Amy’s ice cream is dairy-free / non-dairy, gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free, peanut-free, soy-free (we were told that the chocolate used in the new packaging – rolling out in 2014 – would be soy lecithin-free), vegan, and vegetarian. Nonetheless, check with the company on their manufacturing processes for all varieties if potential allergen cross-contamination is an issue for you. Processes and labeling are subject to change at any time for any company / product.

      This is the best non dairy ice cream. If nobody told you it was non dairy you would never know though it’s been so long since I have eaten dairy I forgot what it taste like. I give this a 5 star must try eating.

      So the ice cream is vegan but may contain milk that makes no sense

        Hi Priscila, if you are dealing with food allergies, then it’s essential to understand our confusing world of food labels. I’ve got a guide here – http://www.godairyfree.org/food-and-grocery/food-label-info. Using a “may contain” label is completely optional, and does not mean the product has even a trace of milk nor that it doesn’t contain a trace of milk. The product is “dairy-free by ingredients” as noted, but manufacturing processes can present risks for cross-contamination with dairy-containing products – rarely in notable amounts, usually parts per million trace amounts – but this is still essential to consider with a severe food allergy.

      I have tried the chocolate ice cream and found it quite good. Like all of Amy’s products, it lived up to thier name. It was smooth creamy ad it tasted as good as any ‘dairy’ ice cream I have had.

      Hello. I have tried both the Vanilla and Chocolate flavors of Amy’s non-dairy frozen desserts. They are both the best vegan non-dairy “ice cream” alternatives
      I have ever tasted – and I’ve tried them all. Even though the Chocolate version
      includes dark chocolate the end result is really not “dark” tasting. It also has
      natural vanilla and I consider it more of a “mlk” chocolate taste as I am not a
      dark chocolate fan. The vanilla version has a wonderful vanilla bean flavor as
      the review mentioned and both it and the chocolate have just a mild coconut
      taste which is something Amy’s has come up with that makes these frozen
      deserts unique and not as overwhelmingly coconut tasting as all the other
      brands, particularly the always icy tasting “So Delicious” variations. Amy’s
      goes to the top of the list again.

      I am looking forward to trying this, especially the mint one. I used to love the dairy full mint chocolate chip before. Thank you for your review. I would not have known about it otherwise.
      Thank you for GoDairyFree too, as I’m very new to this.

        I hope you enjoy Jeannette! And if this one doesn’t end up fitting the bill for you, don’t fret, there are other dairy-free mint chips out there to be trialed!
