In case you hadn’t noticed, coconut milk-based ice cream is all the rage in the dairy-free community these days … and for good reason, it is awesome! Especially the always expanding line up of Coconut Bliss.
Tasting Notes for Coconut Bliss
Coconut Bliss is a pure grown-up luxury. It was so incredibly rich and creamy, that I would swear I was enjoying the most premium of dairy-based ice creams. And while it was of course sweet, it wasn’t overly so. Almost like stepping up from 50% bittersweet chocolate to 70%, this ice cream is definitely a dessert, yet it wasn’t candy-sweet. Rather, it was kissed with the perfect amount of agave nectar to allow your sweet tooth to feel satisfied while retaining the ability to really savor the other ingredients present.
Naked Coconut
Rich, luxurious, and perfectly sweet … what more could you want in an ice cream? The flavor was definitely coconut, but not in an “in your face” sort of way. It actually possessed a complimenting yet mellow vanilla vibe. As an added bonus, my tongue detected not a single ice chunk as I enjoyed the rich mouth feel of this sweet cream. The only change in texture came from the bits of coconut scattered throughout.
Chocolate Hazelnut Fudge
This flavor had a very intense cocoa flavor, much more so than other chocolate ice creams I have tried in the past. While the chocolate did “mask” the coconut flavor altogether, it was a bit too strong for my vanilla-loving palate, but I still had no problem in finishing my sizable serving off. A ribbon of fudge made its way through this flavor, also adding to the intense cocoa flavor, along with some very sizable nut chunks. I was thoroughly impressed with the latter, as I enjoyed at least one or two chunks in every bite.
Cherry Amaretto
This flavor is the bomb (am I showing my age by working this word into a review?). The smooth cherry taste blends with just enough sweetener for a mature cherry-vanilla vibe, while the soft hints of luxurious coconut milk round out the overall flavor.
Ginger Cookie Caramel
It has vanilla base with big chunks of sweet spicy ginger cookie and is swirled with thick caramel. The creamy ice cream, spicy cookie chunks, and sweet caramel ribbons all work so well together. All together it’s such a pleasant and satisfying ice cream experience. The perfect balance of sweet and spice. And yes, they’re generous with the cookie chunks!
Mint Galactica
It’s perfectly minty and perfectly studded with chocolate. It’s a hard flavor to get right, but Coconut Bliss hits it perfectly!
The best part about Coconut Bliss is that it’s made from simple wholesome ingredients. For example, the ingredients in the Naked Coconut are: Organic Coconut Milk, Organic Agave Syrup, Organic Dried Coconut, Organic Coconut Extract, Organic Fair Trade Vanilla Extract

Great product. Very yummy and great texture.
I love coconut bliss ice cream and I eat it a lot. I would eat even more of it if you had a version that is sweetened with stevia instead of agave syrup which is not much better than high fructose corn syrup.
