Major brands are beginning to respond more directly to consumer demands for alternative products, which is what's at work with the newly expanded Häagen-Dazs Non-Dairy Ice Creams line. The vegan ice cream line has been updated with four new flavors including Chocolate Salted Fudge Truffle, Mocha Chocolate Cookie, Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge and Coconut Caramel. Each one is positioned as being an indulgent alternative to the brand's dairy varieties and is reported to have a distinctly creamy texture and authentic flavor.
The Häagen-Dazs Non-Dairy Ice Creams were announced in a statement by the brand that said, "While most non-dairy options simply start by substituting soy, almond or cashew milk, every flavour in our new collection begins with a core ingredient, like real pieces of Belgian chocolate, actual peanut butter, or real coconut cream."
