Ben & Jerry’s top-selling ice cream flavor goes vegan
Ben & Jerry’s has announced a vegan variety of its top-selling ice cream flavor of the past 12 months. Strawberry Cheezecake uses an oat base instead of dairy but retains the familiar graham-crackrer crunch and fruit swirl filling while providing a ‘luxuriously smooth mouthfeel’ akin to the original, according to the company.
The new plant-based addition, which will be available in scoop shops as well as in supermarket shelves in the US, was reportedly a ‘fan favorite’ among tasters while the company was still working on its new proprietary oat base back in 2023.
As there is no real dairy in the tub, Ben & Jerry's dropped the word ‘cheese’ in the name.
