I don't usually like things overly sweet, but I think the salted caramel cashewmilk bars from So Delicious are soooo good! The chocolate shell is the perfect balance of bittersweetness and melts in your mouth, and the salty caramel kind of offsets the sweetness of the ice cream. I honestly couldn't believe it when you spit it out. I love all their cashewmilk ice creams.

Loving the muffins quote you threw in there 😉 thank you for this video it's honestly so difficult to find good vegan ice cream that actually tastes like real ice cream 🍦 😋

When I got diagnosed with chemical fragrance allergy the first thing my doctor told me was that I couldn’t have ice cream because artificial flavors always and natural flavors almost always contain perfume! For some reason she primarily associated that with ice cream…So the suntan lotion and toothpaste flavor comparisons make sense on a chemical level. I’m not vegan but I’ve been so happy to find some Oatly vegan ice creams without the perfume aka flavors and for FODMAP friendliness.

For anyone that lives in Texas, I highly recommend the HEB brand dairy free ice cream. I just recently tried it and the vanilla flavor is hands down the best ever vegan ice cream I've tasted. I have tasted a few of their other flavors too and they were all yummy

So far ice cream, chocolate and cheese are the ones I haven't found a replacement for. Meat? Don't need it. Milk? Don't drink it. Cheese will probably be impossible, but I'll definitely give Oatly and Ben&Jerry's ice cream a try. Doesn't have to mimic dairy ice cream as long as it's yummy
