    Trader Joe’s Oat Frozen Dessert Goes Very Chocolatey with Latest Flavor

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on February 18, 2022 Dairy-Free Ice Cream Reviews, Product Reviews

    Updated September 2022! Trader Joe’s doesn’t want to call it ice cream, but for clarity sake, we’d describe this expanding product line as dairy-free oat milk ice cream. The base of Trader Joe’s Non-Dairy Oat Frozen Dessert is made with oats, water, and coconut oil instead of dairy cream. But it’s still a creamy, churned mixture that’s packed into pints and frozen. And now it’s available in three flavors: Strawberry with Almond Brittle, Okie Dokie (seasonal), and the latest, Very Chocolatey with Fudge Brownies.

    Scoop Up Trader Joe’s Oat Frozen Dessert in These Three Flavors

    We’ve added notes for all three flavors of Trader Joe’s Oat Milk Ice Cream. But please do leave your own unbiased rating and review below once you buy and try either flavor!

    Very Chocolatey with Fudge Brownies

    This rich flavor needs little explanation. It’s a chocolate oatmilk ice cream littered with vegan fudge brownie pieces. The photo is from @traderjoeslist on Instagram.

    Trader Joe's Very Chocolatey with Fudge Brownies Oat Ice Cream - dairy-free and vegan frozen dessertIngredients: oat base (water, oats), fudge brownies (unbleached flour (wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), sugar, brown sugar, water, cocoa processed with alkali, palm oil, tapioca starch, sea salt, natural flavor, xanthan gum), tapioca syrup, coconut oil, dextrose, invert sugar, cocoa processed with alkali, agave syrup, maltodextrin, organic caramel color, mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, pink salt, natural flavors, sunflower lecithin, pea protein, carob bean gum. contains wheat.

    Nutrition (per 2/3 cup): 260 calories, 11g fat, 39g carbs, 3g fiber, 22g sugars (includes 21g added sugars), 2g protein.*

    Okie Dokie (limited edition / seasonal)

    This flavor of Trader Joe’s Oat Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert is inspired by a New Zealand treat called hokey pokey, which is made with vanilla ice cream and studded with bits of honeycomb toffee. The oat base of this dairy-free ice cream is light, fluffy, and perfectly creamy, but it doesn’t have the vanilla flavor that Trader Joe’s boasts. Instead, it’s quite sweet with notes of coconut and a tasty caramel swirl. Crunchy, spongey toffee bits add some extra interest to the texture.

    Trader Joe's Oat Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert Reviews and Info - dairy-free, vegan, oatmilk ice cream in two unique flavorsIngredients: oat base (water, oats), tapioca syrup, caramel swirl (sugar, water, glucose syrup, caramel syrup [invert sugar, caramel, xanthan gum], coconut oil, caramel color, pink salt, natural flavors, pectin, ascorbic acid), sponge candy bits (sugar, rice syrup, coconut oil, sodium bicarbonate, molasses, natural flavor), coconut oil, dextrose, invert sugar, chicory root extract (inulin), agave syrup, maltodextrin, mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, pink salt, natural flavors, sunflower lecithin, pea protein, carob bean gum, vanilla beans. contains coconut.*

    Nutrition (per 2/3 cup): 260 calories, 10g fat, 45g carbs, 4g fiber, 28g sugars (includes 27g added sugars), <1g protein.*

    Strawberry with Almond Brittle & Candied Strawberries

    This is a soft, lightly creamy oat milk ice cream that’s relatively easy to scoop. The ice cream itself doesn’t contain any real strawberries, which might be why the flavor isn’t as purely intense. But the candied strawberries help. The brittle adds nice texture, but isn’t an overly sweet brittle.

    Trader Joe's Non-Dairy Oat Frozen Dessert - Dairy-Free Oat Milk Ice Cream in One Vegan Flavor: Strawberry with Candied Strawberries & Almond BrittleIngredients: oat base (water, oats), tapioca syrup, coconut oil, dextrose, invert sugar, chicory root extract (inulin), agave syrup, almond brittle (cane sugar, almonds), candied strawberries (strawberries, glucose syrup, sugar), maltodextrin, mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, pink salt, sunflower lecithin, color added (red beet juice, annatto extract, citric acid [to maintain color]), pea protein concentrate, carob bean gum, natural flavor. contains almond, coconut.*

    Absolutely disgusting, inedible

    Love Trader’s and I have enjoyed everything I bought there thus far. I am stunned about this product though and truly wonder how this product made it to the store shelves. It is inedible. Hope this is my first and last negative experience at Trader’s.

    Okie Dokie was not it

    Nevermind the flavor but the add-in was a sticky sugar wafer. I could literally feel the cavities forming after one bite. I understand the concept but wish there was another topping like chocolate chips. That would have made it a win and a must-buy for me. I’m disappointed because I was expecting a bready wafer, not a sticky sugar one.

    I just made the purchase at Trader Joe’s. The pink color looks artificial, it does not taste right. I would rather purchase the Haagen Dazs Strawberry Ice Cream.

    Needs more strawberry

    My son has an egg allergy so I’m always on the lookout for egg-free or vegan ice cream. I was happy to see this at TJ’s! Initially, I was very impressed with the mouthfeel, the texture of the brittle and candied strawberries. After a bit though, I was really wondering where the strawberry flavor was. There are no strawberries in the dessert except for the small, occasional bits of candied strawberry. I don’t understand… why wouldn’t you put real strawberries in the creamy part? I think it would add a lot to the flavor.

    Only Trader Joe’s knows! Ask an associate at your local store. They can usually tell you if something is in queue.

    I love this product

    I have been vegan for over 30 years and I like this better than any other vegan frozen dessert I have tried.

    When ever I see a new non-dairy ice cream I want to try it. This one stands out for its ease of scooping and smooth texture. It has a light ‘elasticity’ to it the I know from the dairy ice cream. Strawberry flavor is slightly tart.

    Delicious but...

    Saw in my trip to Trader Joe’s and got excited to see another dairy free treat and had to buy. Absolutely delicious flavor, smooth, and the brittle adds a nice crunch. I wanted to love this product but it messed up my stomach, bad. I tried 2x to see if it really was what messed me up and it was. It gave me the horrible gas and bloating. I’m not sensitive to oats, so one of the other ingredients did me in. Not buying again, I’m over suffering for food.
