Ben & Jerry's debuts vegan ice cream flavours

Ice cream maker Ben & Jerry's has introduced vegan ice cream in a range of flavours, replicating the creaminess of the ice cream that it is known for. The company has partnered with non-profit Vegan Action to certify that its non-dairy confections do not include animal products of any kind—including eggs, dairy or honey.

The dairy has been substituted with almond milk as Ben and Jerry's Flavor Gurus decided that the plant-based milk - basically ground almonds with water - provided the best “blank canvas”. Other ingredients in the vegan line include Fairtrade-certified cocoa, sugar, bananas, coffee, and vanilla. All the ingredients are also non-GMO, according to the Ben and Jerry's website.

There are currently four vegan flavours available: a vegan version of dairy favourite Chunky Monkey, described as a "banana non-dairy frozen dessert with fudge chunks & walnut". Chocolate Fudge Brownie, another classic, contains fudgy vegan brownies from New York’s Greyston Bakery, while P.B. & Cookies contains crunchy peanut butter swirl and chocolate sandwich cookies.
There is also a vegan-only flavour called Coffee Caramel Fudge that is "chock full of fudge chunks and a rich swirl of caramel whirled into a base of Fairtrade coffee".
