How I feel about ice-cream
I’m not usually a fan of ice-cream. If we have some, I’ll have a spoon or so but that will be enough to satisfy me. Prior to going vegan, the only time I remember enjoying an ice cream so much that I could eat it out of the tub, was when I discovered a coffee flavoured ice cream in Lidl. They didn’t always have it and once I realised that, if I saw it in the store, I’d get more than one tub. It was THAT good! I’ve not seen that particular one in years. However, if I did spot it one day, I wouldn’t have it unless it had been veganised.
My take on the vegan ice creams that I’ve tried so far
Since shifting to a plant-based diet, I’ve tried a few ice creams and like before, I enjoyed a spoon or so and wouldn’t find myself wanting any more.
That changed a few years ago! I found myself wanting to eat it straight out of the tub because it was THAT good! I didn’t think any other ice cream would match it until recently, when I tried one another and found myself, again, wanting to have a lot more. It was also THAT good!
I’ve shared my thoughts about the ice creams I’ve tried below. The following ‘ratings’ start with the ones I liked the least:

The ratings…
Not bad
Unfortunately, I don’t recall much about this ice-cream. Therefore, I assume it was OK but not amazing.
Nice
This was the go-to ice cream for many vegans for years & lots of non-vegans loved it too
Nice
This was quite yummy
Not for me
I didn’t like this much. It wasn’t sweet enough.
Nice
This was a bit rich but nice in small amounts
Not bad
This was alright but nothing to write home about
Nice
I quite liked this, possibly because it was nostalgic of my childhood.
Not for me
All I remember is that I had a tiny bit of it and pulled a face.
THAT good
This was my all-time favourite until recently.
THAT good
I’m not usually a fan of hazelnut but this ice-cream was so good!
THAT good
Creamy, not too sweet, that coffee flavour, which I LURVE in desserts!
THAT good
The macadamia nuts made it!
