I’ve spent way too much money on sub par dairy-free ice cream in my years post-dairy. Despite the endless dead ends, I have continued on my quest to find ice cream that is rich, creamy, and perfect. Having tried rice, almond, and coconut based varieties without finding my Goldilocks product, I could not wait to give the new line of cashew milk ice creams from dairy-free dedicated So Delicious Dairy Free a try.


These new flavors are an interesting break from the typical flavors found in conventional ice cream. Moving towards the more gourmet realm, these flavors go above and beyond your average chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry options. The new flavors are: cappuccino, creamy cashew, dark chocolate truffle, salted caramel cluster, and snickerdoodle. Mixing notes of sweet, salty, and nutty, the flavors certainly elevate the simple indulgence of ice cream to a delicious, dreamy affair. 


As it happened, the search for this delicacy- my “cashew crusade” as it came to be known- brought me all across town to several grocery store chains in search of the elusive pints. Before delving into each flavor, here’s an overview of the whole cashew milk ice cream line. All five of the flavors are:

• Dairy-free (Certified)
• Gluten-free
• Soy-free
• Vegan (Certified)
• Kosher

Yes, the ice creams are cashew-based, so they are not nut free. Some flavors have coconut, for those who are watching their allergens.

Dark Chocolate Truffle

Salted Caramel Cluster

Creamy Cashew

Of the five flavors, the creamy cashew at first glance appears to be the least flashy of the bunch. Plain and simple without sweet or salty mix-ins, this flavor stands back and lets its cashew base take center stage. It’s rich and creamy, with nutty notes and a hint of vanilla (fair trade). I loved it’s simplicity, because I could easily eat it as is, but it also works perfectly for a do-it-yourself sundae approach with fun toppings such as caramel sauce, Enjoy Life chocolate chips, or a sprinkle of sea salt.

Snickerdoodle

Admittedly, the snickerdoodle pint was the one that initially caught my eye, and started me off on my cashew crusade. I had the highest of hopes when I went to taste test it, after finally locating it after many attempts to find it. Luckily, the snickerdoodle did not disappoint a bit, and quickly made it’s way near the top of my favorite flavor list. The cinammony-nutty ice cream base is divine, and made even more tantalyzing by balls of snickerdoodle cookies that are sweet and cinnamony. The juxtaposition of creamy and crunchy is addicting, and hard to resist. 

The last flavor I picked up was the cappuccino one. The luxurious cashew base perfectly complements the fair trade coffee, which lends the ice cream to taste like a creamy cappuccino. Forget Starbucks, I’d take a couple scoops of this over a coffee drink any day. Of all the flavors, this one seems perfect for a milkshake (using cashew milk as the liquid). However, I must admit that it was my least favorite flavor of the quintet as I am not a huge fan of coffee. Nevertheless, it was pretty good, just not my favorite.

Now for the most precious morsel of information: where I located them. I found the dark chocolate truffle at Hoover’s Market locally in Altamonte Springs, and picked up the creamy cashew and salted caramel cluster at Walmart in Sanford.
