Daily Harvest Has New Dairy-Free Ice Creams, and They Taste Like the Real Deal

I'm lactose intolerant but pretend like I'm not (much to the chagrin of my digestive system). Cheese plates? Yes, please. Pizza? Don't mind if I do. Milkshakes? My favorite diner treat. The problem is that it wreaks havoc on my GI health, and aside from feeling crummy, large amounts of dairy isn't great for my PCOS.
So lately I've taken a more proactive approach to cut out dairy as much as possible. Luckily, I can still enjoy ice cream this summer since Daily Harvest has released two new dairy-free ice creams called Scoops. The problem with a lot of dairy-free ice creams is that they are typically made with coconut and coconut cream, so coconut tends to be the dominant flavor. These Scoops, on the other hand, contain zero coconut ingredients and are instead made from organic cashews. What you get is the actual flavor of the ice cream, which are Pistachio + Toasty Buttery Hazelnut Crunch and Cold Brew + Roasted Espresso Bean Chip. They are also free of gums, fillers, additives, refined sugars, or carrageenans.

What Do Daily Harvest's New Dairy-Free Ice Creams Taste Like?
As a self-described cold brew connoisseur, I was most excited for the Cold Brew + Roasted Espresso Bean Chip, and it tastes like a cacao affogato with dark chocolate chips. The ice cream is made with actual organic coffee, and it's peppered with roasted espresso bits and 100 percent dark chocolate chips. I love a dessert coffee after a nice dinner (ask my husband about the Baileys and coffee I always order when we're out), so this will be the perfect sweet treat in the evening.
I also enjoyed the Pistachio + Toasty Buttery Hazelnut Crunch because the chunks of hazelnuts really stood out. I like pistachio ice cream because of the salty and savory combo, and the maple syrup and cashew butter made it just sweet enough. The ice cream tastes like a hazelnut-pistachio nougat and has a hint of olive oil.
