So Delicious Cashew Milk Frozen Desserts

[By Nick] Recently So Delicious sent me their entire line of cashew milk frozen desserts. Instead of reviewing them individually, I thought it would be best to cover all 5 flavors in one post.

When I heard So Delicious was releasing a cashew line I was very curious. There's a very slim amount of cashew milk frozen desserts on the market and I believe So Delicious is the first mass-distributed line up of its kind. With flavors like snickerdoodle, how could I not want to try this line out? Let's start with the basic flavors and work towards the more complex ones.

 So Delicious Dairy Free Creamy Cashew Cashew Milk Frozen Dessert

"A gourmet delight with a touch of fair-trade vanilla and a pinch of sea salt."

This one tastes as it is described. The cashew nuttiness is in the forefront with a bit of vanilla rounding things out. The sea salt isn't really noticeable and blends in with the cashew flavor. The texture is creamier and more reminiscent to traditional ice cream than both their coconut and soy line. I haven't tried any of their almond milk flavors so I can't speak for them. (For now on, unless noted the texture is the same throughout the flavors to save room and stop me from repeating myself which will drive Dubba insane.) This one is good even if basic. It's hard to find anything with cashews and this one will fix that craving easily.

 So Delicious Dairy Free Cappuccino Cashew Milk Frozen Dessert

"A creamy coffee-love's dream prepared with fair trade beans and a touch of spice."

The flavor here isn't too strong on the coffee front. It's very milky with a coffee finish. The nuttiness of the cashew milk is still there but not as strong as in the last flavor. I'd imagine this would taste exactly like an espresso that used cashew milk to be honest. Another simple but properly executed flavor. No complaints for me minus the whole lack of any sort of spice. I'm guessing they were talking about cinnamon looking at the ingredients but I didn't notice it at all.

 So Delicious Dairy Free Dark Chocolate Truffle Cashew Milk Frozen Dessert

"A fair-trade cocoa decadence folded with fudge and premium shaved chocolate."

The texture here is a little different. I'm not sure if it's due to the added cocoa element but it's drier and not as creamy. The chocolate flavor is fine albeit not too dark. It kind of reminds me of a generic chocolate base. Not bad, but nothing special. The name of this flavor bugs me a little. I get overall their going for a truffle flavor with the chocolate and fudge separate. However, when you put truffle in the name I want there to be truffles. The shaved chocolate and fudge aren't too prevalent and only add a textural change since the flavor blends with the base too much. The fudge stands out a bit more than the shaved chocolate but only to add a richer flavor to the base. If you have to go dairy free, there's better chocolate options on the market.

 So Delicious Dairy Free Salted Caramel Cluster Cashew Milk Frozen Dessert

"A sweet and salty delight featuring chocolate covered cashews and a ribbon of salted caramel."

This was my favorite out of the bunch. The texture returned to normal, possibly a bit more creamier to be honest. The flavor is what had me. It tasted like caramelized cashews. Caramelization of nuts are one of my favorite preparations and this one had me from first bite. The saltiness of the swirl isn't too strong but still manages to let you know it's there. ? And I'm not a fan of their naming process. Chocolate covered individual cashews do not equal clusters. The "clusters", once again aren't ample. It's a shame because they add that sweet contrast to the saltiness of the swirl. Still, it's a tasty combo and I would happily eat this one over and over again.

 So Delicious Dairy Free Snickerdoodle Cashew Milk Frozen Dessert

"A cinnamon delight loaded with chunks of gluten-free snickerdoodle cookie dough!"

Last up is the flavor I was excited the most for. Let's just say, I was let down a bit. First off, the texture wasn't as good as I had hoped. It wasn't as dry as the dark chocolate truffle but it wasn't as creamy as I experienced in the other flavor. I blamed the cocoa element in the other so I guess the cinnamon did the same here. The flavor of the base was excellent. Remember Dunk-a-roos? Well that's exactly what this tastes like. Better way to sum it up, it tastes like cinnamon infused frosting. I could eat this base for days if it wasn't for the dry characteristic I was experiencing. The major let down came from the snickerdoodle cookie dough. I literally got two chunks throughout my whole pint. I don't know why So Delicious is being so stingy with the mix-ins in the line but it really stopped all 3 of these flavors from reaching their full potential. Even with the off texture, the addition of more cookie dough could've made this my favorite flavor.

Rankings:

1. Salted Caramel Truffle
2. Snickerdoodle
3. Creamy Cashew
4. Cappuccino
5. Dark Chocolate Truffle

Final Thoughts: I'd like to thank So Delicious for letting me try out their new cashew milk frozen desserts. I was surprised by just how good they were and would be willing to purchase all of them besides the dark chocolate truffle. Have you tried any of the flavors from this line yet? If so, let me know your thoughts in the comments. If not, which one would you want to try the most. Oh and thanks for reading another extremely long post from me!
