Ice kweens (Picture: Aldi)

Vegans have been having a pretty good time of it in the last year or so.

We’ve had vegan fried chicken, vegan halloumi and vegan McDonalds. Then we were #blessed with vegan Baileys (and this even stronger, more ethical version).

Lest we forget the unanimous cheer that arose when three delicious flavours of vegan Ben & Jerrys swam to our shores.

Some of us have been having trouble finding this elusive moo-free Ben & Jerrys though, and those of us that have managed to locate it may have been a little taken aback by the price (£5.99 a tub – you what?).


If you’re one of those people, you might be pleased to know that Aldi has just launched their very own dairy-free ice creams at a fraction of the cost of B&J.

They have a coconut cream base, making them totally moo-free, and come in two flavours – plain coconut, and coconut and chocolate.

The tubs will be stocked in most Aldi stores across the UK and the US. They don’t currently have plans to bring them to Australia. Sorry guys.

The tubs of dairy-free delights are going down pretty well on Twitter:

If you need a little Monday pick-me-up after a hellish commute, then stop in it at your local Aldi on the way home and pick up a tub or two.

Maybe get some low calorie wine, award-winning gin or a wine advent calendar while you’re at it?

Lovely.
