Last February, I announced that Ben & Jerry’s was fielding a full team of eleven dairy-free ice cream flavors. But later in the year, they released one more variety with little fanfare. Pints of Ben & Jerry’s Non-Dairy Chocolate Salted ‘n Swirled Frozen Dessert quietly slipped onto store shelves, bringing their vegan pint count of up to a cool dozen.
Perhaps they were just too busy celebrating their new Vegan Cookie Dough Chunks to make the announcement. Because now, Ben & Jerry’s Non-Dairy division is loudly ringing in the year with several new ice cream flavors. First came a newfound partnership with Netflix and a movie-ready flavor. Then three new pints made with a base of sunflower milk, instead of their usual almond milk, landed on store shelves. That doesn’t even count the new single-serve mini cups, which includes another new vegan flavor. And finally, they’re adding a new non-dairy flavor that’s exclusive to their Scoop Shops. All said and done, they now have seventeen Ben & Jerry’s Non-Dairy Ice Cream flavors, and it’s still January!
Ben & Jerry’s Non-Dairy Ice Cream is Now Churning Out in these 17 Flavors
It wasn’t long ago that Ben & Jerry’s launched their first batch of four dairy-free ice cream flavors. They were a huge success, so the brand has continued to churn out new vegan creations each year.
If you’re looking for a functional frozen treat that you can justify for breakfast, move on. But if you’re looking for straight up dessert that will make you forget about dairy, then you’re in the right place. Ben & Jerry’s Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert is sweet (sometimes VERY sweet) and over-the-top decadent.
It isn’t the creamiest on the market, but it’s pretty darn indulgent. And all of the delicious add-ins can make it a satisfying experience. But you be the judge! Leave your own rating and review below once you’ve tried any of the following flavors.

Caramel Chocolate Chunk (New in 2020! Only in Mini Cups!)
It seems the Mini Cups needed a new flavor all their own. This exclusive dairy-free variety is made with caramel non-dairy ice cream, is dotted with fudge chips and swirled with salted caramel. It joins the PB & Cookies flavor to make a little dynamic duo. They’re each perfectly portioned for one! But we won’t tell if you decide to sample both flavors in the name of product testing.

Contains: soy.*
Nutrition (per 85-gram scoop): 220 calories, 11g fat, 28g carbs, 1g fiber, 21g sugars (including 21g added sugars), 2g protein*
A Note on Pucker Up (which is NOT dairy-free)
Ben & Jerry’s has a pint flavor called Pucker Up that looks like a sorbet. It’s made with Lemonade and Raspberry Sorbet, so you might think it is dairy-free. But they add sugar bits that are coated with dairy to this flavor. According to Ben & Jerry’s, they do not call this flavor a sorbet, but rather state that it is “made with sorbet” since it does contain dairy.
RIP Chunky Monkey
Sadly, it looks like this Non-Dairy flavor has been discontinued. It was succeeded by the Netflix & Chill’d Non-Dairy flavor in 2020.

What Others Are Saying ...
I’m eating cherry Garcia right now
I’m eating dairy free cherry Garcia right now. I’m shocked someone said it tastes watery. Ok wierd it’s just soo good! Plenty of flavor! Kudos for Ben and Jerry’s eating vegan in 1992 was not as fun and easy as it is now! Hurray and stop complaining everyone jeez! Focus on what’s going right and this is
Scratchy Throat
I don’t know what it is about this ice cream but something is not right. I have tried a lot of dairy alternative ice creams and ice cream products with no issue. There is something in these that makes my throat scratch to the point of feeling like I’m having an allergic reaction. It almost seems like there’s still lactose in them because it makes me feel similar to when I have normal ice cream. The flavor is fine… I’ve been lactose intolerant for so long, I can’t taste any difference between this and normal ice cream, but there is something about it that is bad. I tried two different flavors and both did it.
Chocolate Fudge Brownie
As a chocolate and ice cream lover, I’ve avoided buying ice cream because it leaves me feeling bloated and like I put on weight over night after I eat a dish of the decadent dessert. Not with B&J’s! Wow! It was rich and satisfying! Plenty of chocolate flavor! I added sliced bananas – because I love added textures and it upped the creaminess that I enjoy. B&J’s is now my go to brand – I can enjoy ice cream without the drama of guilt, fast weight gain!
5*s for dairy free but only tasted those without gluten
Gave 5* to those I was able to taste. Sadly, most contain gluten. For those with Celiac or gluten sensitivity, it is disappointing to still be limited based on gluten contents in dairy free products. I’ve read that milk and gluten sensitivities are not unusual to find together.
Just as good as the real thing!
My daughter(10) and I are dairy free so when we saw that Ben & Jerry’s had dairy free ice cream we were so excited!! Our favorites are Cherry Garcia (me), chocolate chip cookie dough(daughter) and we both like the fudge brownie! The stores here in MN don’t carry a huge selection but as we see new flavors we always try them!
Coconut Seven Layer is to die for!
I have tried 8 of the Ben & Jerry’s flavors and none have been a disappointment. I’m a chocoholic so Chocolate Caramel Cluster is a favorite but Coconut Seven Layer, Cherry Garcia and Chocolate Fudge Brownie does not disappoint.
I had a few.
The Cherry Garcia was good. It was missing something. The ice cream was more like ice milk. Almond Brittle and Chunk Monkey were divine. I would love to see the half baked in Chocolate Chip flavour. The worse flavour so far is the seven layer bar.
OMG!!!
AT LAST! I’ve been searching for non-watery dairy-free ice cream for over a decade! Cherry Garcia was always my fave B&J’s flavor and this new version did not disappoint! And the Caramel Almond Brittle is orgasmic. I can’t wait to try Coffee Caramel Fudge and the other flavors!
PB and Cookies
It is the jam. The chunky peanut butter evens out the grittiness that often comes with almond milk ice cream. It’s by far my favorite and to me is brilliant
Coconut Seven Layer is favorite summer treat
I love coconut ice cream, and when I saw the non dairy version I bought it right away. It taste so good, and I love the fact I could enjoy a frozen treat while sticking to my non dairy diet. Since I discovered this flavor, its been a staple to my grocery list.
