We’ve heard the claims before, but Klimon is adamant that their dairy-free ice cream is every bit as good as the real thing. They use a proprietary, almond-based recipe to create the rich consistency and creaminess of traditional ice cream, without a drop of dairy. And some store buyers seem to be convinced. Walmart and Gelson’s Markets have begun selling all five Klimon pint flavors.

The non dairy companies are getting better
Never really liked non dairy icecream but this one’s pretty good. I personally think that its better SO Delicious in texture and taste.
Sunrise Bag... Wow!
Amazing texture and flavor combination. When I was growing up, orange creamsicles was my favorite ice cream treat at the local store. This is the first time I’ve seen this flavor in a pint and I’m impressed at how creamy this non-dairy ice cream is. Definitely coming back for seconds. Cherry Bomb is amazing too.
Caramel Brûlée and Sunrise Bang
Just tried the Caramel Brûlée and it was basically inedible. The review below about the burnt flavor is accurate. There’s no other taste to it besides burnt. Believe me, I tried finding it, and no dice. One star for that one, maybe zero if I could.
Sunrise Bang was decent. I’d give it a solid 3 stars. Definitely edible but then again definitely not the best non-dairy ice cream I’ve tried. I think it’s the almond base…maybe too many almonds competing with the taste of the orange cream. It’s like half orange cream and half almonds….too much.
I appreciate what they’re trying to do, but I’ll stick with So Delicious and Favorite Day non-dairy ice creams.
BURNT
My husband and I bought the crème brûlée flavor and I’m not sure if they tried to actually toast the sugar on top of the ice cream but it literally was burnt. We couldn’t get the taste out of our mouth. It was the worst burnt flavor ever. Very disappointed in an ICE CREAM that some how was BURNT ???
Tastes just like dairy ice cream... without the dairy!!
Blew me away. SO thought they were lying with the dairy free tag. Usually the stuff I get from Lassen’s is more like sherbet or light ice cream, but this is some dense, creamy, ice cream. The packaging is super trendy and the branding is super cool too. Love it!
