It’s with a heavy heart that I report the discontinuation of all Haagen Dazs Non-Dairy Ice Cream. For options that are currently available, see our Dairy-Free Ice Cream Reviews.
There isn’t, nor has there ever been, a dairy-free ice cream quite as indulgent and delicious as Haagen Dazs Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert. They truly broke the mold with these formulas. Yes, formulas – unlike most other brands, no two flavors are alike.
Most dairy-free ice cream brands use a single ice cream base and then add flavors for variations. This causes every flavor to have underpinnings of coconut, almond, soy, or whatever the main ingredient is. But Haagen Dazs uses the flavor as the ice cream base for each individual variety. The Chocolate and Mocha flavors use rich melted chocolate, the Peanut Butter flavor uses peanuts, the Amaretto uses almonds, and the Coconut Caramel flavor uses coconut cream. This technique results in unparalleled taste profiles.
Tasting Notes for Haagen Dazs Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert
There’s nothing modest about Haagen Dazs Non-Dairy Ice Cream. Each pint boldly proclaims it’s decadence with every flavor-packed bite. I’ve added the nutrition facts to this post, since that is our current format, but don’t look. It’s dessert, straight up. Just enjoy it. And unlike most other dairy-free options, one serving of this surprisingly vegan ice cream really does satisfy. In fact, I often have less than a serving!
And do not let the “water” ingredient confuse you. Technically, water is the first ingredient in dairy ice cream, too (heavy dairy cream is about 60% water and whole milk is about 87% water). But cream isn’t required to be broken out that way on food labels – it’s classified as a single ingredient. On dairy-free labels, the water is listed separately and must be used to make a “cream” with the key ingredients. You can’t simply grind peanuts and get ice cream – a liquid must be added!
I’ve updated this post with all of the current creamy flavors of Haagen Dazs Dairy-Free Ice Cream. Unfortunately, the Non-Dairy flavors of TRIO Crispy Layers were discontinued.
Chocolate Salted Fudge Truffle
This is really two desserts in one. The deep, rich, pure chocolate ice cream base is generously dotted with sizable chunks of fudge. We didn’t really note the salted fudge swirl specifically, but I could tell from the intense flavor that it was perfectly salted. This sweet flavor is any chocoholic’s dream, dairy free or not.
Ingredients: water, sugar, corn syrup, belgian chocolate, cocoa processed with alkali, soy lecithin, pectin, vanilla extract, salt. Salted fudge swirl: powdered cane sugar (cane sugar, corn starch), sunflower oil, cocoa, salt, sunflower lecithin. Fudge truffles: sugar, soybean oil, coconut oil, cocoa processed with alkali, cocoa, natural flavor, soy lecithin. Contains: soy ingredients.
Nutrition (per 2/3 cup): 360 calories, 15g fat, 54g carbs, 5g fiber, 38g sugars (includes 37g added sugars), 3g protein.*
Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge
True peanut butter fans, like myself, will swoon over the intense pb flavor. Ribbons of peanut butter and fudge up the ante on this sweet frozen dessert that has a surprisingly unique consistency. The peanut butter base isn’t as smooth and creamy as the others, but has a cookie meets ice cream mouth feel that is irresistible in its own right.
Ingredients: water, corn syrup, sugar, peanuts, peanut oil, coconut oil, pectin, salt. Salted fudge swirl: powdered cane sugar (cane sugar, corn starch), sunflower oil, cocoa, salt, sunflower lecithin. Contains: peanut ingredients.
Nutrition (per 2/3 cup): 380 calories, 19g fat, 47g carbs, 3g fiber, 30g sugars (includes 27g added sugars), 5g protein.*
Coconut Caramel
Unabashedly coconut, this creamy ice cream has rich swirls of caramel sauce throughout.
Ingredients: coconut cream (coconut extract, water), corn syrup, water, sugar, pectin. Caramel swirl: brown sugar, coconut cream (coconut extract, water), water, salt, pectin. Contains: coconut ingredients.
Nutrition (per 1/2 cup): 240 calories, 11g fat, 34g carbs, 0g fiber, 19g sugars (includes 19g added sugars), 1g protein.*
Amaretto Black Cherry Almond Toffee
This is the newest non-dairy flavor, which was released as a part of their “spirits” line. But it’s only a little boozy with just .5% alcohol. I really didn’t expect to like this flavor, but it is just as rich and delicious as every other pint of Haagen Dazs Non-Dairy Ice Cream. In fact, it’s my husband’s new favorite.
Ingredients:Â water, corn syrup, sugar, almonds, sunflower oil, brown sugar, cherries, coconut oil, pectin, cherry juice concentrate, salt, lemon juice concentrate, natural flavors, baking soda, amaretto. contains: almond ingredients.
Nutrition (per 2/3 cup): 320 calories, 12g fat, 49g carbs, 2g fiber, 32g sugars (includes 32g added sugars), 3g protein.*
Mocha Chocolate Cookie (might be Discontinuing)
This flavor is still in stores, but is no longer on the Haagen Dazs website. I’m really not a coffee fan. I tolerate creamy, sweet coffee desserts, like dairy-free mud pie. But the bold espresso finish in this flavor of Haagen Dazs Non-Dairy is really for java lovers. Tony enjoyed it, and didn’t have a problem keeping this pint for himself. The cookies are crushed for easier eating, and create a lovely coffeehouse infusion.
Ingredients: water, sugar, corn syrup, belgian chocolate, cocoa processed with alkali, soy lecithin, pectin, coffee, vanilla extract. Chocolate cookie swirl: soybean oil, powdered cane sugar, chocolate cookie crumb (wheat flour, cane sugar, canola oil, cocoa processed with alkali, salt, baking soda), cocoa processed with alkali, salt, soy lecithin. Chocolate cookie pieces: wheat flour, sugar, coconut oil, cocoa processed with alkali, chocolate, baking soda, salt. Contains: wheat and soy ingredients.

The BEST
This stuff is amazing. I’ve taste-tested dozens of dairy-free ice creams over the years, and none compare to Haagen Dazs. It’s very creamy, full-bodied, and has amazing rich flavors. My favorite flavors are the Peanut Butter and Chocolate Truffle, my husband loves the Mocha, Chocolate Truffle, and Cherry Amaretto. Unfortunately, they aren’t as easy to find as they used to be. I grab several pints every time I see them.
Best frozen treat ever!
I’m so addicted already! The peanut butter fudge and the coconut Carmel are to die for, and I think they are plenty creamy, and so good and satisfying that even one serving is enough to fill the desert craving unlike other ice cream brands. Love love love!!!
Flavors are great!
Loved the overall flavors of both the peanut butter fudge and the amaretto black cherry! Still not creamy like real ice cream but a very good alternative option!
Coconut carmel
The coconut Carmel is amazing!!

PLEASE take out the corn syrup in the dairy free coconut caramel in the US!!!!!!!!! If you can do it in Canada then u can do it in the US!!! We so need this product but I will not buy it until the corn syrup is taken out!!!!!
You might want to contact Haagen Dazs directly with this request. We’re not affiliated with them 🙂
Thanks for the review. Just bought these from Metro in Toronto, Canada, and I noticed right away that my pints have ZERO corn syrup. Maybe the ingredients are different for Canada (which I doubt), or the company decided to remove the corn syrup suddenly from their most recent batches due to consumer demand (possible). I for one would not have bought these if I saw corn syrup in the label.
Good to know. Thank you for sharing this David! I looked into the Canadian ingredients, and indeed they are a little different from the U.S. ingredients (which does happen quite a bit). The U.S. ones still appear to contain corn syrup, but it looks like the Canadian ones never have contained corn syrup, and they are made in Canada. So they are made in a different facility, too. Glad that worked out for you!

I always find them at Target. I haven’t tried the Mocha flavor because I’m not a coffee fan but I’m in love with the fudge truffle and peanut butter fudge ripple! The coconut was good but too sweet in my opinion. I’m so excited that we have such a variety of ice cream flavors that are really tasty!
I reside in Cape Town South Africa and need information on where I can purchase above goods which are dairy free
okay, another one I NEED to find! all of these flavors sound great to me, but yeah… that peanut butter… 🙂
but yeah, indeed 🙂
Is it possible to buy in the UK?
I don’t think it is yet – it’s just now releasing throughout the U.S. – but it might be soon!
Haagen Dazs was my favorite growing up. I’m encouraged that three of these don’t contain gluten ingredients and will reach out to the company to learn more about their manufacturing processes.
Hi
Is Belgian chocolate dairy free? My son is galactosaemic; so he’s not allowed any dairy,(or derivatives therof).
We from south africa; getting non dairy products is a problem.
Keep up the good work Alisa; I want to order your books.
Andrew
It can be, it depends on the brand. See this post -> https://www.godairyfree.org/ask-alisa/ask-alisa-is-chocolate-dairy-free
And my guide here -> https://www.godairyfree.org/dairy-substitutes/how-to-substitute-chocolate
I tried the coconut caramel and it is just what you would expect….a caramel made from coconut cream swirled in more coconut cream. If you love caramel, this one is for you. You still taste the coconut so if you don’t like coconut, you may want to skip this one.
Thanks for sharing this Audrey!
Yum! This one sounds amazing to me. Thanks for sharing!
Why do I not know about this! These flavors look incredible! I need to find these and buy them all up!
They are, they really are!
I have not tried these but will as soon as they are available at my local grocery. I have tried N.D. Almond Dream, it is delicious! I am so grateful for this site on Dairy Free living. I was just diagnosed this past year with both gluten intolerance and diary allergies, you have made this change over so easy. I have your book on my counter and have tried many recipes. I also have tried many on from this site also. My daughter has just been diagnosed with the same allergies and we share our likes and not likes. Thank you so much for the good work you do.
Thank you so much for the kind words Janet (and for sharing one of your favorite ice creams!). I’m so happy that I can help 🙂
Can’t wait to try these! Thanks for the information.
I’m thrilled that Haagen Dazs is offering non dairy flavors now. I’m in for the peanut butter flavor!
It’s dangerously good!
Wow! I hope these become available in the Midwest!
They should!
The Chocolate Salted Fudge Truffle sounds right up my alley! That’s definitely the one I want to try first!
If you love chocolate then this one is impossible to resist!
Those flavors look spot on. I do wish they’d drop the corn syrup, but I suppose baby steps are happening for more dairy free options!
I hear you Kelly. Definitely far from health food, but I will say that the ingredients are an improvement over another popular non-dairy line which shall remain nameless 🙂
Wow. I need to look for this. The salted chocolate fudge truffle sounds delicious.
It really is!
I want to try the Mocha Chocolate Cookie since you say it is for java lovers. Right up my alley!
Yep, it’s definitely good for coffee fans! My husband loved it.
I’ve tried the chocolate fudge truffle and have to admit that I as pretty darned impressed. Not bad at all, especially for a mainstream dairy brand! Here’s hoping they’ll have the means for wider distribution now and make these pints available everywhere, not just a few select stores or cities.
I definitely recommend the PB, too, for you Hannah. It’s quite the flavor rush! You might really enjoy the Mocha, also.
