Ben & Jerry's Phish Food is Now Available in a Plant-Based Version
Laura McQuarrie — March 1, 2021 — Lifestyle
Ben & Jerry's Phish Food flavor is a beloved one that combines chocolate ice cream, caramel swirls, fudge fish and marshmallows. Since 2016, Ben & Jerry's has been introducing new and remixed non-dairy frozen dessert flavors but reinventing its popular Phish Food flavor posed a challenge, mostly when it came to getting the marshmallows just right.
Because marshmallows contain gelatin, Ben & Jerry's needed not only a vegan-friendly version but also ones that could have a long shelf life with quality natural ingredients. The veganized version has the same elements as the original version thanks to a creamy almond milk base.
Now that Ben & Jerry's has perfected its vegan marshmallows, fans may be able to look forward to other popular flavors with marshmallows to be made into non-dairy frozen treats.
