Vegans screamed for ice cream and Ben & Jerry’s have finally heard: the ice cream giant is (finally) working on a dairy-free ice cream.

According to an exclusive interview with Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Jerry Greenfield said the team are working on a ‘delicious’ dairy-free ice cream.

“I think that’s a big thing for Ben & Jerry’s to be doing that,” he said. “In the U.S. there are (dairy free) alternatives from smaller companies but Ben & Jerry’s will be first mainstream company that will do that and will also do it in a really delicious way.”

Greenfield said the company will be using coconut milk or almond milk for the ice cream treat, and that he hopes vegans (and lactose intolerants) enjoy the new ice cream.

We’re sure we will.

The amazing news comes almost a year after a petition was created by a couple from Charlottesville that urged Ben & Jerry’s to make our delicious dreams come true. Luckily, now our sweet dreams will be a reality.

Unfortunately, we will have to wait out this summer before we can devour the dairy-free awesomeness. Dairy-free Ben & Jerry’s won’t be available in the U.S. until spring 2016.
