Ben & Jerry just unveiled what is probably the greatest gift that anyone could possibly give to vegans and lactose intolerance suffers across the US: The beloved ice cream brand will now be selling four totally dairy-free dessert flavors.

The company announced the yummy new additions to its line-up yesterday, sending fans — including myself — tweeting like mad and tossing their Lactaid supplements out the window.

All of the new flavors are made with an almond milk base and promise to be 100 per cent certified vegan, down to the delicious candy mix-ins and swirls. And FEMAIL couldn't wait to test them out.

Dairy ditchers, rejoice! Ben & Jerry's unveiled its four new vega, non-dairy flavors this week

Eating it 'till the cows come home! The new flavors will hit grocery stores in the next few weeks and are 100 per cent certified vegan

While most brands that dip into dairy-free scoops stick to basic chocolate and vanilla — leaving some ice cream lovers craving something a tad more interesting — it should come as no surprise that Ben & Jerry's is really delivering the goods.

The company is offering two non-dairy twists on traditional flavors — Chunky Monkey and Chocolate Fudge Brownie — and is also introducing two entirely new ones: P.B. & Cookies and Coffee Caramel Fudge.

All four flavors will be rolled out into grocery stores over the next few weeks, but FEMAIL has already gotten ahold of the non-dairy frozen desserts for a thoroughly enjoyable taste test.

We're so excited! People have been losing it on social media about the non-dairy options

As someone who has been lactose intolerant for at least a decade and a half, I've come to expect pain and suffering with every scoop — or else I just avoid ice cream, gelato, and FroYo altogether. Yes, it's as sad as it sounds.

Of course, by now brands have begun catering more to lactase-challenged community, as well as those who keep a vegan diet. But if you're looking for that rich, creamy, totally-delicious kick that only ice cream can provide, most of these products still don't cut it.

The majority just come in the most basic of flavors, and there still seems to be something missing. But that's definitely not the case with what Ben & Jerry's has to offer.

First place! Coffee Caramel Fudge, a brand new flavor, was the FEMAIL team's favorite; it has coffee ice cream, caramel swirls, and fudge chunks

Coffee Caramel Fudge

This coffee-flavored dessert, mixed with fudge chunks and caramel swirls, was the clear winner (and my personal favorite).

It's perfectly creamy, and the caramel swirls are a nice touch for masking the hints in the flavor that it's not real dairy. And mixed in with the ice cream, it's impossible to tell that the fudge chunks were made without milk, too.

DailyMail.com reporter Mia de Graaf, another dairy avoider, agreed: 'It is so creamy, not too coffee-y (although I do like coffee ice cream), and the generous caramel swirl takes it to another level. But the parts of ice cream that don't have any swirl or fudge are also creamy and tasty.'

A close second: P.B. & Cookies was a top choice too; it has vanilla ice cream, chocolate sandwich cookies, and peanut butter swirls

P.B. & Cookies

This baby's kind of like a cookies-and-cream ice cream — except the cookies come in chunks and there's also an awesome peanut butter swirl mixed in.

'There was a bit too much untainted vanilla for me, but when I hit the hefty chunks of chocolate sandwich cookie and a dollop of crunchy peanut butter swirls, it was delicious,' Mia said.

Even FEMAIL reporter Valerie Siebert, who has no reason to stray from her tried and true dairy favorites, was a fan.

'It was definitely my favorite. Maybe it was the fact that it was nuts matched with nuts — as in, the almond milk with peanut butter. Not sure, but it was definitely the most flavorful and the creamiest,' she said.

It's also the most fattening of the options, with 17 grams of fat and 290 calories per serving. But hey, we can't have everything.

Like the original: The dairy-free Chunky Monkey tastes a lot like the original flavor even though it is made with almond milk and dairy-free chocolate

Not so healthy: Even though there is no milk, the flavors still pack in a lot of calories and fat

Mia had mixed feelings about this one, explaining that it's really the mix-ins that make it work. But that doesn't means he wouldn't come back for more.

'You really want to make sure you get fudge chunks and walnuts on your spoon — the banana ice cream is a bit too banana-y,' she said. 'If you do, it's very tasty and I would eat it again.'

Valerie gave it a thumbs up for flavor, noting that it came the closest to the real deal: 'I have to say that it tasted almost exactly the same as the original, just with a slightly different texture.

Honorable substitute: Though the chocolate fudge brownie flavor could quell cravings in a pinch, it wasn't as chocolatey as FEMAIL would have liked

Chocolate Fudge Brownie

The only new flavor that didn't quite pass the taste test was the one with the most chocolate — probably because Ben & Jerry's didn't just have to replace the dairy in the ice cream, but in the chocolate itself, too.

'It quite obviously tasted of almond milk and had a chalky, very un-ice-cream-like texture to it,' said Valerie.

Mia agreed, adding: 'Basically, I imagine it's exactly what non-vegan eaters think of when someone suggests trying dairy-free ice cream.'

The upside? This flavor has the best nutritional value, with only 200 calories and 11 grams of fat per serving.

Woohoo! Vegans and lactose intolerance sufferers have been expressing their excitement on Twitter

Delish! The reaction has been incredibly enthusiastic - including from people outside the US, who hope that Ben & Jerry's expands and sells the flavors internationally

Where's my spoon? People have even turned to gifs, funny images, and emojis to share how happy they are

We're not the only ones freaking out over the new dessert options, either — vegans and lactose intolerant people alike have been seriously losing their cool on social media.

'This is it. The peak of the vegan movement. From here it can only go down: Ben & Jerry’s debuts vegan ice cream,' wrote a not-at-all hyperbolic man named Tony Wolkovitzky.

'Ben and Jerry's is comin out w/ 4 dairy-free flavors WE POPPIN BIG BOTTLES SOON,' wrote a woman named Kat, who finished off with twelve champagne emojis.

Comedian Danielle Weisberg used a gif of Amy Poehler doing a celebratory dance to express her elation, writing: 'Finally a win for the lactose-intolerant community!'
