The concept of vegan ice cream has always been a bit of a contradiction.

But that doesn’t stop us whimpering with joy at the fact that Häagen-Dazs is releasing a new line of dairy-free ice cream.

A new vegan grocery store has opened in London – and it's targeting meat-lovers

Instead of dairy, each pot is made from ingredients such as coconut cream, sugar and soy.

The ice cream vendor has oh-so quietly released the flavours into shops in the US; Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge, Chocolate Salted Fudge Truffle, Mocha Chocolate Cookie and Coconut Caramel.


And they sound totally delicious.

Not only are they free of animal products but some flavours such as Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge are almond, cashew and soy free too.



Coconut Caramel is made primarily with coconut cream and sugar, for example.

And Chocolate Salted Fudge Truffle with a Belgian chocolate base and soy.

You may have noticed that the word ‘vegan’ isn’t actually mentioned on the packaging, which should ring alarm bells for those of us wanting to totally avoid animal products.

But according to Vegansaurus, a website which checks out the actual vegan friendliness of certain products, each flavour is indeed vegan.

You can now try the UK’s ‘most expensive cup of coffee’ for £50

And with our other favourite ice cream companies finally catching onto the fact that more and more people want their favourite treats cruelty free, it’s about time.

While these flavours are definitely available in the US, we dropped Häagen-Dazs an email to see whether we’ll spot these in the UK any time soon and will update this article when we hear back.
