So Delicious Coconut Milk Frozen Dessert Cookie Dough
My favorite thing about the So Delicious line of non-dairy frozen desserts is that they make flavors with all of the different non-dairy bases. There is a lot of debate in the ice cream world about what non-dairy milk makes the best ice cream base. But with So Delicious, everyone can just have their fav, with no debates. They have some stellar cashew milk bases (which is under utilized as a non-dairy ice cream base imo), so I thought I'd check out a coconut milk base.
This flavor is described as Vanilla coconut milk based, dairy-free frozen dessert packed with scrumptious cookie dough chunks and crispy chocolate flakes.
Often coconut milk is a popular base because the coconut flavor can be concealed. In this case, the coconut flavor was very prominent. It was like a coconut base with a hint of vanilla flavor. Now, I don't think this is a terrible thing, but if you don't think cookie dough and coconut will vibe well together, you will be disappointed. Other than that, the base was great. Creamy and dense and best if you let it temper for a few minutes. There were the perfect amount of cookie dough chunks, you got one in most bites, but some you just got base. The chunks were on the small medium side and tasted good for being dairy-free. They didn't have a buttery taste, but well, what are you going to do. The weakest part of this pint was the chocolate flakes. They were very, very thin, and as the description says, crispy, as opposed to crunchy. They were not the chocolatiest of chocolate, as well.
Overall, a few years ago, when the dairy free market was thinner, this might have gotten a higher score. But with so many dairy-free options (I just found the NEW Haagen-Dazs dairy-free yesterday!!), I'll give this flavor š¦š¦/4 cones. Solid, but nothing special.
