    They have it in a shop in Brighton in the UK but it's the only place I've seen it here and now I'm addicted they seem to be reducing their stocks!

    i really didn't like the vanilla ice cream in the Soy Delicious choc ices i tried (they sell them in Holland & Barrett). it's put me off trying the other flavours.

    Don't be put off!! You just had plain vanilla--you need to try a REAL flavor! I LOVE Peanut Butter ZigZag, Cherry Nirvana, Mint Chocolate Chip---try one of those!

    those flavours aren't easy to get hold of in the UK, if at all. i've heard the mint flavour can be found in a shop near me but i've never seen it there myself. ice cream imported from the US is so expensive here.

    cedar, aren't normal ice cream cones vegan? i haven't looked but i'm thinking there must be some brands that are suitable. have you tried supermarkets, Holland & Barrett etc?

    that's annoying! yet another product that i doubt actually really needs to have milk in it. i have a feeling H&B may sell some sort of gluten/dairy-free ones or something, sorry very vague i know! i'm going shopping tomorrow so i may have to see if there is such a thing as a vegan ice cream cone.

    Vegan looking cones are out there in supermarkets, can't remember any brands at the moment thou. Askeys *used* (about 6 years ago) to sell decent waffle cones that only contained vegan ingredients, but they have milk products in now.

    I'm craving ice cream now.

    Maybe when/if I go to the eye glasses shop, I'll pop in to the supermarket too. I love So Delicious fudge bars. You can't even taste the soy in them.
    Peace, love, and happiness.

    Hello Cedarblue...I've looked on the internet for you and found this website www.goodnessdirect.co.uk. They advertise Barkat Ice Cream Cones and say they are Dairy/Gluten/Wheat free. Bit costly though at £3.95 for 24! Hope that helps. x

    Tofutti - Butter Pecan
    It tastes like butterscotch and the pecans taste like they've been roasted...
    It's so delicious!
    EDIT: Oh, and tofutti has the best texture out of all the brands I've tried. Very light and fluffy.

    My favorite is probably Tofutti! They also have ice cream sandwiches called Tofutti Cuties and choclate covered vanilla ice cream on a stick called Hip Hip Hooray.

    Other good ones are Soy Dream and Soy Delicious. There is a rice-based one, called Rice Dream, which I don't really like - I find it has an aftertaste.
    OH MY GOODNESS I tried the Tofutti Cuties ice cream sanwich last night and nearly died it was sooooo yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Apparently Nestles 102 Dalmations ice cream is vegan so that must taste rather nice.
    But, Swedice Glace Ice cream is the best! It comes in vanilla, strawberry and chocolate.. I got mine from Tesco but they sell it at health stores too!

    i love the tofutti icecream. here in denmark you can get chocolate, vanilla, mocca (my fav) and strawberry. then you can get a mix of, i think it is, strawberry, vanilla and pear? never tried that one, though.
    i like the cones too, and the cuties. haven't seen that since summertime, but then they'll have it back soon i looove icecream.

    we also have VERY nice icecream shop here, which has ordinary dairybased icecream, and ten they have THE BEST vegan sorbets i've ever tasted. and they have all kinds of flavours; berries, elderflower, apple, lemon, lime, orange and whatever. it's soooo good.

    I used to like Tofutti coffee marshmallow but it was discontinued a few years back.

    There is such a choice of fab vegan ice cream in the States, it puts our small selection to shame. For a while I could get Soy Delicious chocolate madness (or something like that) in Brighton but they don't have it anymore.

    For reasons found in the following link, quite a few people around here boycott nestle, irrelevant of products that may be vegan made by them.

    I understand the level to which vegans care about manufacturing techniques varies greatly and is up to the individual, however I should point to anyone reading that Tofutti themselves have admitted several times (including in a letter posted to this forum) that their non-organic products may use sugar processed with bone char.

    We only really have Swedish Glace. I want fancy ice cream!!

    Well we have Toffuti but I don't eat that because of the bones.

    oh. but it's not the actual tofutti we have here, apparantly, its something called tofu-line, which should be vegan.
    anyway, i just forgot the name, as they're kind of similar.

    Where from? This was their reply to me in August:

    This would be true of
    all our products sold anywhere that do not list organic sugar as an
    ingredient, in which case they would be certain not to have passed
    through animal bone char. We cannot guarantee it with all our other
    products.


    I'd be very interested if this info has since changed

    Neither did I for 6 years. Unfortunately there's noone out there to slap the wrists of a company that labels products as vegan that are (in the view of a lot of people, which could debatebly be the majority of), not vegan, due to no proper definition of the word. Personally I think that Tofutti are purposely trying to gain extra customers through misinformation. Hence I boycott them - including their organic products.

    I always make my own topping using a bar of dark chocolate, melted with some sweetened soya milk and just a touch of golden syrup. It's lovely and gooey and chocolately... Icecream just isn't the same without it.

    You don't need an ice cream maker to make great ice cream.

    Just pour your mix into a container and freeze it. Then, when it starts to form ice crystals mix it all up again with a fork and refreeze... repeat this three or four times and then freeze completely. Temper to serve.

    Granted, you can't just leave it to itself .. . you have to keep breaking it up with a fork, but if you can't afford an ice cream maker, or just cant wait to try a recipe it works fine - I've made lots of ice cream this way.

    Fave ice cream topping ... chopped nuts, banana sliced thinly and grated Green & Blacks Maya Gold (lots of it. And then some more .. .depends how big the bowl is really. Sometimes I need to open another bar because the bowl isn't quite overflowing! ).

    on my last shopping trip, i noticed a new soy ice-cream...the brand is Temptation. i got the peach cobbler flavor, which has chunks of dough. it's very good, but sweeter than other ice-creams i've tried (soy delicious has 17g sugar per 1/2 cup and this one has 21g per 1/2 cup), and even though i love sweets, i don't like them to be too sweet, so i'll only get this one once in a while for variety

    I just made an amazing 'ice cream'. I put some frozen bananas in a food processor, added some peanut and almond butter, a tablespoon of coconut milk and a bit of green and black's drinking chocolate (it's 'grainy' and won't change the other flavours completely). Blend and freeze. It is heavenly. Will try carob powder next time.

    One important thing about Chicago SoyDairy's Temptations is they make their stuff in a totally vegan, nut-free facility. I believe they're the only one (in the States, anyway) that can say that.

    I notice that along with the price creeping up to equal that of the super-premium ice creams, the calories are now just about equal as well. The "Purely Decadent" line of Soy Delicious are all about as high in calories as a scoop of Haagen-Dazs. Anyone else notice that?

    (In terms of sheer "bang-for-your-buck," I get the quart of Chocolate Velvet Soy Delicious--$3 at Trader Joe's, and only 130 calories per scoop.)

    This just made me pull out my Temptation Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough icecream and have a few scoops while I type this.. I LOVE THIS ICECREAM!
    So sinfully rich and sweet (hence the name, "Temptation", and the little devil mascot on the front). Yup, definately not low-cal or low-fat, but so good if you have a sweet tooth. I've tried the Peach Cobbler too, I did enjoy it, but I go back to and prefer the choc. chip cookie dough one.
