Ben & Jerry’s releases dairy-free ice cream

So far, there are non-dairy versions of Chunky Monkey and Chocolate Fudge Brownie, plus the newly-created Coffee Caramel Fudge and P.B & Cookies. In fact, Ben & Jerry’s Non-Dairy Ice Cream seems to be a true indulgence, not rivaling other brands in the purest ingredient use.

I scream, you scream, and, in this day and age of specialized diets, we all scream for non-dairy ice cream!

If you’re one of the many people in the world who are lactose intolerant or have a hard time digesting dairy products, but love ice cream and are chronically depressed that you can’t indulge in this cooling, sugary treat, Ben & Jerry’s has a fix for you.

And the flavor creator, Kirsten Schimoler, obviously has chocoholic tendencies as every new pint has at least a chunk or swirl of cacao.

Expected in grocery stores in the next few weeks, the Vermont-based company says the ice cream is certified vegan and made with almond milk. The brownies for the chocolate fudge brownie, for example, come from the Yonkers-based Greyston Bakery, which provides jobs to low-income residents.
