Not so much an ice cream as a non-dairy frozen dessert...
In case you didn't know, I'm a vegan (I do have occasional slips)..make that a sweet-toothed vegan. Before you get on my ass with that, I'm a vegan not for health concerns but for animal rights and ethical issues. Anyway, so being a vegan who loooooves chocolate and everything sweet, it's been difficult for me to keep up with my habits. I made vegan jelly-filled cupcakes and brownies but unfortunately, they aren't the same as the "real thing", and besides, I have to cook of which I'm not a huge fan. So a couple of weeks ago, I was at Whole Foods and decided to checkout the frozen dessert aisle just for the heck of it...and to my surprise, I HIT A FREAKIN' JACKPOT!!! Ohhhh mannn.....I don't have to limit myself exclusively to sorbets anymore! I discovered the most amazing thing ever known to humankind today...VEGAN ice cream!!! I picked up a pint of Coconut Craze and when I opened it and took the first spoonful, it was...FIREWORKS!!!! Seriously, if you can get hold of it in this lifetime, I'm pretty sure you'll free yourself from the cycle of life-n-death!!
It was too good to be true. The overall coconut taste with shredded coconut, almonds, and more-often-than-occasional chocolate bits.....droooooll... It had absolutely no taste of soy and other ingredients not found in actual ice cream..it didn't even feel as though it was vegan, and the best part? Zero cholesterol! I'd give it a 9...until yesterday! I got another flavor yesterday - Key Lime Pie - which I finished off in 2 days! Don't judge me...you'd do the same if you had this. The pie crusts in the dessert were just...well....I don't have words for it, but I don't know how they do it! Neither ice cream nor gelato come close to this baby...heavennn
