    So Delicious Almond Milk Ice Cream is a Lighter Option (DISCONTINUED)

    13
    By Alisa Fleming on March 26, 2012 Discontinued Products, Product Reviews

    Alas, after many years in production, So Delicious Almond Milk Ice Cream has been discontinued. You can still find So Delicious Coconut Milk Ice Cream, Soymilk Ice Cream, Cashew Milk Ice Cream, and Oat Milk Ice Cream. For almond milk ice cream, Almond Dream Ice Cream is still available (for now!).

    Please allow me to introduce you to my current best friend. Yes, I’m a bit fickle. Next week I might be onto a new BFF, but this week I’m adoring almond milk ice cream from So Delicious Dairy Free.

    Though the So Delicious Almond Milk Ice Cream flavors are definitely creamy and frozen, these are so much lighter than your average ice cream. I would label them as ice milks, but they also didn’t have any of those annoying ice crystals, just a smooth, dreamy texture.

    Tasting Notes for So Delicious Dairy Free Almond Milk Ice Cream

    Even so, they were almost refreshing and didn’t weigh the least bit heavy on my stomach. Not surprising, since each serving only has about 4 grams of fat. But what I liked most was the low sugar profile. They use a combination of organic tapioca syrup, organic cane syrup, and erythritol (a sugar alcohol) to sweeten these bad boys, for a net sugar load of just 6 or 7 grams per serving.

    Though I wouldn’t venture to call this a health food, it is still a treat, these So Delicious almond milk ice creams were enjoyable to savor without the post-indulgence crash or continued sugar cravings. I don’t know about you, but typically when I eat sugary goodies, I’m left craving even more sweet treats! A vicious cycle indeed. But one that was broken, for me, with this dessert.

    Vanilla

    It has a very unique flavor, but I found the Vanilla almond milk ice cream to be somewhat addictive. However, I would hesitate on feeding this frozen dessert to dairy-free newbies or dairy-eating guests.

    So Delicious Dairy Free Almond Milk Ice Cream - Gluten-Free Cookies n CreamIngredients: almondmilk (filtered water, almonds), cane sugar, organic coconut oil, organic tapioca syrup, pea protein, locust bean gum, guar gum, natural flavor. Contains: almond, coconut.*

    Nutrition (per 1/2 cup): 140 calories, 8g fat, 16g carbs, 0g fiber, 13g sugars, <1g protein.*

    Cookies n Cream

    After trialing the So Delicious coconut milk-based Cookies ‘n Cream ice cream (also from So Delicious), I was surprised by how much sweeter and more intensely chocolate the Cookies ‘n Cream almond milk ice cream was. It has a very rich sandwich cookie flavor – frosting and all! There is just a slight erythritol and monk fruit taste in this variety, but the bolder, more dessert-like flavors really assert themselves.

    So Delicious Dairy Free Almond Milk Ice Cream - Gluten-Free Cookies n CreamIngredients: almondmilk (filtered water, almonds), gluten-free creme cookie (cane sugar, tapioca flour, rice flour, palm oil, cocoa [processed with alkali], organic tapioca syrup, cassava flour, cocoa, potato flour, salt, sunflower lecithin, natural flavor, baking soda, xanthan gum), cane sugar, organic coconut oil, organic tapioca syrup, pea protein, locust bean gum, guar gum, natural flavor. Contains: almond, coconut.*

    Nutrition (per 1/2 cup): 170 calories, 9g fat, 23g carbs, <1g fiber, 17g sugars, 1g protein.*

    Mocha Almond Fudge

    I’m not a coffee fan, so I haven’t tried this flavor. But it reportedly has a rich coffee flavor, a good amount of nuts, and a nice fudge swirl.

    So Delicious Dairy Free Almond Milk Ice Cream - Gluten-Free Cookies n CreamIngredients: almondmilk (filtered water, almonds), cane sugar, fudge sauce (cane sugar, water, organic cocoa, tapioca starch, natural flavor), organic coconut oil, almonds (almonds, sunflower oil, salt), organic tapioca syrup, pea protein, natural flavor, locust bean gum, coffee, sea salt, guar gum. Contains: almond, coconut.*

    Nutrition (per 1/2 cup): 180 calories, 10g fat, 21g carbs, 1g fiber, 17g sugars, 2g protein.*

    Mint Chip

    I’ve only tried a bite of this flavor, but it had a nice cool mint vibe that went well with the lighter ice cream base. And the chocolate flakes were generous.

    So Delicious Dairy Free Almond Milk Ice Cream - Gluten-Free Cookies n CreamIngredients: almond milk (water, almonds), organic dried cane syrup, chocolate flake (dried cane syrup, coconut oil, cocoa, chocolate liquor, natural flavor), coconut oil, gun arabic, natural flavor, carob bean gum, baking soda, guar gum. Contains: almond, coconut.*

    Nutrition (per 1/2 cup): 140 calories, 8g fat, 15g carbs, 1g fiber, 14g sugars, 1g protein.*

    Butter Pecan (DISCONTINUED Flavor)

    As for the flavor, I think they are particular. The first couple of pints of this almond milk ice cream didn’t grab my taste buds. Though I’m sure many others would really like the Chocolate and Mocha Almond Fudge! But when I hit the Butter Pecan, WOWSERS, I was in love. Rich, buttery, and deliciously sweet, this is a flavor that I enjoy when my praline cravings strike (yes, it happens).

    Cherry Amaretto (DISCONTINUED Flavor)

    I really enjoyed this flavor. The ice cream base had a fresh, lightly cherry flavor, and there were huge chunks of sweetened cherries throughout. Maraschino fans will be in heaven.

    Lighter than your average ice cream

    Rated 4 out of 5
    February 25, 2019

    Though they are definitely creamy and frozen, these dairy-free pints are so much lighter (low in fat and sugar) than your average ice cream. The underlying flavor is unique, and not for everyone, yet I somehow found it rather addictive.

      Oh No, the Cherry Amaretto Ice Cream won’t be available any more. We need to asked them not to do such a thing, this ice cream is just delicious. 🙁

      • Alisa Fleming on August 23, 2017 2:51 pm

        What a bummer – that is a great one!

    2. Dana on January 2, 2016 8:43 am

      I am wondering if anyone has tried the Soy Milk “SO DELCIOUS” ice cream options? I love Soy Milk but I am unsure if the ice cream is any good. Also do you prefer the Almond Milk options or the Coconut Milk Options? I would love to hear any thoughts!

      • Alisa Fleming on January 9, 2016 4:35 pm

        I think the soy ones are really good! Here is my review of the pints (their packaging has changed – now “So Delicious” – but it’s still the same product inside). Soy just isn’t as “in” right now, but I still really like the soy-based ones, a little better than the coconut ones. The cashew ice cream is tops though in my opinion.

    3. Liz on November 2, 2015 12:53 pm

      I haven’t tried the other ones, but I have to very strongly second the caution about the flavor of the cookies ‘n cream. It’s not a slight fake sugar taste, it’s a strong fake sugar taste. I’m sure the other flavors are better, and I’d try them first.

      • Alisa Fleming on November 2, 2015 2:54 pm

        Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this Liz! It’s definitely a notable taste – I do think the Butter Pecan melded better with that sugar alcohol / monk fruit sharpness. But as mentioned, I do think they are particular.

      Why until now no dairy-free mint chocolate ice cream in Zehrs, sorry but I asked the sales lady, she said I dont know.. and thank you .

      • Alisa Fleming on August 29, 2014 8:45 am

        You would need to contact the company direction or check the store locator on their website Emma!

    5. Sheila K. on August 13, 2014 3:40 am

      I tried the Cookies ‘N Cream flavor recently and found it to be light, creamy, sweet. and delicious. For a “healthier” ice cream, it’s one of the best I’ve tried!

    6. Vivi on August 3, 2014 8:00 pm

      I live in el Paso, where can I fin your products..? May be in WalMart..??

    7. Rafael Maddern on June 7, 2013 2:29 am

      Because almonds are naturally very nutritious, almond milk doesn’t need to be fortified. You can make almond milk yourself at home, and it will have the same nutritional value as the almond milk available commercially.
