Corn, potato, oats and cassava are some of the plant-based ingredients that go into making Eclipse Foods' newest frozen desserts, which are made by re-engineering the molecular composition of milk. The plant-based products are said to have a look, taste and texture that compares to traditional dairy, yet consumers get to help Eclipse Foods support a more sustainable, responsible and humane food system through the use of alternative ingredients.
Some of the brand's newest flavors play with favorite ice cream flavors like peanut butter, mint, caramel and fudge, and all of the brand's products are 100% vegan. As the brand describes, "Eclipse ice cream is made for people who love dairy and we make products that require no sacrifice on taste, texture and consistency."
