So Delicious S'mores Oatmilk Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert: Mmm, non-dairy frozen dessert, but for reals, this stuff tastes like the real thing as far as I can remember. I actually felt a little suspicious while I was eating it, like, are you surrrre there's no dairy in here? But there isn't! No soy either, and the only nut ingredient is the coconut, which isn't technically a tree nut. The carton does warn it may contain tree nuts and its derivatives as this product is manufactured in a facility that also processes tree nuts, wheat, peanuts, and soy, but this tub is certified gluten free and So Delicious claims to have a "rigorous allergen testing program and apply strict quality control measures in an effort to prevent contamination by undeclared food allergens."

Anyway, this is delicious, true to its name. The ice cream is creamy and smooth, not gritty or icy at all, and tastes exactly like a graham cracker. The chocolate is in lovely little bittersweet drops and isn't waxy or greasy. The marshmallow is represented by swirls of vanilla CocoWhip topping and the texture is pleasing, silky and fluffy, though the swirls aren't really big enough to make them stand out from the ice cream, but that's probably for the best as they're quite sweet.

All in all a really successful dairy-free ice cream with no detectable coconut flavor. I'm excited to try their other products.

Mmmmmmm.

I’ll be searching for this. Science demands I try it out.

Wondermilk seems to be a marketing name for water bulked up with oil and pea protein?!?

For dairy-free eaters, these folks go all out: almond, cashew, coconut, oat, and soy.

Now that's a great factoid!

Yeah, "full fat milk" is just 3.5% butter -- I'm failing at being a good Wisconsite.

All the fat contents in dairy milks

Mine's an allergy, and I spend a lot of time reading ingredient panels.

Sadly, this was barely 5/10.

Plus:

  • nice mouthfeel, correct balance of liquid and slippery.
  • real vanilla without that telltale vanillin chemical scent

Minus:

  • super sweet, with cotton candy aftertaste
  • vanilla seems to be all aroma, no hint of vanilla flavor five minutes after finishing.

Then again, after the first two spoonsful I drowned it in rhubarb sauce to cut the sweetness back to edible which may have drowned any remaining vanilla.

As far as mouthfeel goes, I can't imagine any cookie mixed in to an ice cream -- they're like peppermint stick and mayonnaise (two great tastes that belong on opposite sides of the moon).

MORE SCIENCE!
