I already am a fan of products from So Delicious and that was before they gave me a great t-shirt at Vida Vegan Con last year. We buy two brands of vegan creamers because our opinions are pretty distinct and I prefer the plain variety from So Delicious. So you when someone from the company asked if I wanted to test some of their new products made with almond milk I was pretty excited.
Special arrangements were made so I’d be home the day the shipment, on dry ice, would be delivered. Two boxes, one containing new almond milk products, and the other filled with 5 pints of new almond milk ice cream and two boxes of dark chocolate covered almond milk ice cream bars.
First, let me say that we ate the bars pretty much immediately. The Mocha Almond Fudge, dipped in dark chocolate and covered with almonds, was a real fave. That said, the vanilla almond milk bars, also dipped in dark chocolate, were also delicious.
Honestly, they arrived while Christie was in Mountain View and it was a real challenge to not eat them all by myself. Christie, upon finishing the last one off, asked me, “When can I get this at the store.”
The five pints I saved to share with the current planning team for Open Source Bridge 2012. I figured we could end a meeting with a little ice cream party.
All Meetings are Better with Ice Cream!
The team dug into the pints:
Gimmie the Ice Cream!
We all went back and did our best to “test” the ice cream thoroughly.
Woohoo Ice Cream!
In the end, we were unable to finish all five pints off. We left them in the freezer for other folks at Collective Agency to enjoy.
We Couldn't Finish!
You can see that the Butter Pecan, Mocha Almond Fudge, and Cherry Amaretto were the big favorites. That isn’t to say that the chocolate and vanilla aren’t great, but we were just so full from all the other ice cream we couldn’t eat anymore!
So Delicious, thank you so much! You made our planning meeting awesome with ice cream. We can’t wait to our local store starts to stock this fantastic choice for dessert!
**Update: April 28, 2012*
This past weekend we spotted both pints and bars of the new Almond Milk ice cream at a couple New Seasons markets (Arbor Lodge and Mountain Park specifically). We’ve already consumed a box of the Mocha Almond Fudge bars!
Mocha Almond Joy!
