I Tried Every Flavor Of Ben & Jerry's Non-Dairy Ice Cream I Could Get My Hands On And Ranked Them Best To Worst
Single-handedly keeping up the non-dairy demand at Ben & Jerry's.
Like most people (because unfortunately, I'm not the unique main character) I really love ice cream. However, I don't eat dairy. Do you see my issue?
So when Ben & Jerry's started to release non-dairy flavors, you better believe ya girl has been trying every single one I can get my grubby little hands on. I've tried a lot, but I was still missing some... so I bought them.
Now I *must* rate them from best to worst.
My fiancé (and my stomach) thanks me for this project I've taken on.
1. The Best: Netflix n Chilll'd
🍨 The scoop: This was a tough call for me because I genuinely am obsessed with the caramel almond brittle flavor, but this bad boy has PRETZELS. *Spoiler alert* I LOVE PRETZELS. Not only is Netflix my favorite streaming service, but now I have an ice cream I can eat while bingeing the same two shows over and over again.
2. Caramel Almond Brittle
🍨 The scoop: The gobs of caramel. I can't even handle how absolutely delicious this ice cream is. I mean.. the almond brittle just sticks to my molars in the best way possible. Truly *chefs kiss* amazing.
Look at the caramel — I can't handle it:
3. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
🍨 The scoop: Honestly, you can just never go wrong with cookie dough. Every gob is just like a burst of heaven in your mouth.
4. Chocolate Caramel Cluster
🍨 The scoop: Don't want peanut butter? That's okay because this bad boy has just regular peanuts, fudge chunks, and salted caramel swirls. I mean.. ugh. I absolutely love the crunch you get from the peanuts, which honestly just makes me eat way more than I anticipated. Not complaining, though.
5. Peanut Butter Half Baked
🍨 The scoop: Okay, we've got chocolate, peanut butter, fudge brownies, ~and~ gobs of peanut butter cookie dough. Like, are you kidding me? This is exactly what you need in a decadent pint of ice cream. Will forever be eating this one.
6. Cherry Garcia
🍨 The scoop: I'm probably going to get so much hate for this one, but I actually love Cherry Garcia. I'm also just a huge fan of those maraschino cherries drowned in sugar. No really. I'll order Shirley Temples with extra cherries.
7. Creme Bruleé
🍨 The scoop: Another sunflower butter one but it's not as prominent in this one. This is probably because of the salted caramel swirls and brown sugar cookies. Still not one I'll reach for ever again.
8. Coffee Caramel Fudge
🍨 The scoop: When your morning coffee isn't enough, have it for dessert! Famous words said by me. You can quote me. Anything with caramel is usually a win for me so this one is not too bad! Not a crazy fan of coffee, but sometimes it's delish.
9. Mint Chocolate Cookie
🍨 The scoop: I have to be in the ~mood~ for mint chocolate, and that's pretty rare. If you *do* love mint chocolate, you'll definitely love this one, trust me.
10. Coconut Seven Layer Bar
🍨 The scoop: Eh. Coconut and ice cream are just not a pair I like to eat when I want something junky and delicious.
11. "Milk" & Cookies
🍨 The scoop: My fiancé loves this one, but I am just NOT a fan. Specifically just not a fan of sunflower butter. Peanut butter or bust, sorry.
12. P.B. and Cookies
🍨 The scoop: This flavor has so much potential to be amazing, but it just didn't quite make the cut for me. I personally feel the peanut butter has a weird artificial taste and the cookies taste weird, too. Overall, not a fan.
13. The Worst: Chocolate Fudge Brownie
🍨 The scoop: I thought I would like this one because I do love chocolate, but it's just too much for me. I know, you're probably cursing at the stars that I voted this one the worst, but even as a chocolate lover, it's just *too* much, okay? Don't hate me.
Forever grateful to Ben & Jerry's for coming out with so many amazing non-dairy flavors.
Now please bring back Cinnamon Buns.
