You’ve probably seen one or two of these new So Delicious<\/a> Cashew based ice creams appear around the city. If not – they’re popping up everywhere – check the fridge at your local grocery. So, last week I received\u00a0a box of three\u00a0So Delicious Cashew Ice Creams (or, sure, \u00a0CFIA, “non-dairy frozen desserts”) – \u00a0Creamy Cashew, Salted Caramel Cluster, and Dark Chocolate Truffle. And two of the new-to-Canada CocoWhips.<\/p>\n

The package was hand delivered by a courier<\/a>, and contained dry ice and branded So Delicious gloves – for safety, of course, and my own personal joy – they may or may not also be perfect for gardening. Anyway. I tell you this because it was an exciting package to receive, and to let you know that I’m already a fan of many of the So Delicious\u00a0products, and to disclose any potential biases I have. You decide!<\/p>\n

I’ve tried and reviewed the CocoWhips before<\/a>, while I was in the USA, so for now, I’m going to focus on the ice cream for this post – however,\u00a0I do want to see if there are any difference between the countries and products (since those kinds of variations really interest me.)<\/p>\n

On to the Ice Cream<\/h2>\n

Dark Chocolate Truffle<\/strong><\/p>\n

I expected to love this one, but I didn’t. It might not have been at it’s best, flavour-wise it was\u00a0delicious\u00a0– as ribbons of dark chocolate in chocolate ice cream will be, but texturally, was tougher to dig into, and not as pleasant as the others. Despite sitting in the same freezer for the same period of time, it seemed to be either really solid, or melty. That said, I will likely try it again.<\/p>\n

Creamy Cashew<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was a pleasant surprise. I expected this to be my least favourite, and I expected it to be boring – but I was totally wrong. What I ended up with was\u00a0a robust\u00a0creamy cashew flavour, with a touch of vanilla. Smooth. So smooth. It’s so much more.<\/p>\n

Salted Caramel Cluster<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was my favourite one. It was beautiful from the moment I opened the paper wrapping under the lid – creamy looking ice cream, with dark chocolate cashew chunks, and wisps of salted caramel. Yes. Yes I would like this. I got out my trusty ice cream spoon and took the first scoop and put it directly in my mouth. And it was everything I hoped for and more. It’s gone now.<\/p>\n
