Ben & Jerry’s is one of the best options for nondairy ice cream pints, with a whopping 20 vegan varieties. Following talks with PETA, the company introduced dairy-free versions of many of its popular flavors. It’s transitioning all its vegan offerings to an oat milk–based formula, but you can still find some that are made with almond milk or its nut-free sunflower seed butter base.
Leave milk from miserable cows out of your ice cream, and instead, scoop up vegan versions of familiar favorites such as Cherry Garcia and “Milk” & Cookies—just look for the nondairy label on the front and dig in. So which of these flavors will have you racing to the store?
