While plant- and apartment-sitting for a friend in New York City recently, I (Lisa) opened the freezer and beheld this view (at left). She instructed me to "eat anything in the house," so I simply could not believe my good fortune: I had just come face-to-face with 33 pints (I counted) of premium ice cream. Grab the Swiss Almond Vanilla, climb into bed, and flip on the TV. My night of bliss was about to begin!
Ooops, then I remembered: I'm a vegan. I don't eat ice cream. Talk about a killjoy! During my omnivorous life–just four years ago–I ate ice cream pretty much every night. So when I decided to "switch teams," the thought of ditching my beloved dessert was nearly unthinkable.
But I quickly discovered non-dairy substitutes that satisfy my cravings: the So Delicious "ice cream" products are exactly that–soooo delicious. I'm partial to those made with coconut milk, and I sometimes go ultra decadent and add my own goodies (vegan chocolate chips, nuts, etc.). When craving something lighter and more refreshing, I love Haagen-Dazs sorbets, especially mango.
What are your faves? Please share!
Note: Not to be a downer, but someone's gotta say it: Remember, even vegan "ice cream" can be high in sugar, calorie, and fat. Eat in moderation.
