As B&J's ice creams usually contain large chunks of sweet things, they may add marshmallows and make it non dairy but not vegan. We'll have to wait and see.

According to this, posted on November 13, the non-dairy flavors will be made with almond milk and will be vegan.
Looking forward to trying them.

I don't think I will even bother to try it. I can't imagine it will be any better than the other almond/coconut milk ice creams, which I don't really like. And now that I have the cashew milk available I'm good to go. I bought a few pints for Thanksgiving and (conveniently) forgot to put them out with the other desserts. So my freezer is full with creamy cashew, cappaccino, salted caramel and chocolate, lol.

I agree and the only vegan ice cream that I like is the cashew nut one and Swedish glace.

I still haven't found the cashew ice creme, but I found chocolate cashew milk the other day, oh yum.

I did a survey about the B&J nondairy ice cream a few months before it was announced. It was mainly to see if there was interest in a nondairy version. You can guess what my answers were.

Yes, it is surprising that more brands don't have a non dairy version as many people are lactose intolerant.
I have not yet met a vegan ice cream that I did not like.
Guess my palate is not as discerning as yours...
There are a few vegan icecreams available here, but let's face it, 15$ for 500 ml is a little steep...

How much is that in € ? Amy's Kitchen ice cream costs 6+ and I wasn't thrilled with the taste neither.

That would be about 12 EUR ... more than I am willing to spend. Sold at health food stores here in Malaysia.
Consider my enthusiasm when I then found Swedish Glace for about half that price, unfortunately only in Vanilla flavour, at a local supermarket.

That is steep however it depends on what kind of salary a person earns. I find that forking out 3 euros for a litre of ice cream is as far as I'm willing to spend.
That is very true! Which is why I have been avoiding most of so-called "vegan specialty products" since I have been here in Malaysia, and am instead trying to get "normal" vegan Asian food.
It is nice that I can get a vegan, organic, macrobiotic set lunch delivered to my workplace every day for about 4 EUR. My colleagues, who go for non-vegan, non-organic normal local food will typically pay 1 EUR for their lunch (and consider me extravagant). So yes, ice cream has been among the foods I seldom eat today....
Best regards,
Andy

I like the fact that B & J's are partners with the Greyston bakery who make vegan brownies for the chocolate version.
Ben & Jerry's and Greyston Bakery: Great baked goods with a greater-good mission
I wonder whether we'll get the non dairy version over here as most people want dairy with tons of cream, eggs, butter etc.
