Coconuts Organic Non Dairy Double Caramel Ice Cream Review

Coconuts organic double caramel

I was very happy this week to see a new dairy free ice cream brand launched in Tesco. They were formerly called Coconuts Naturally, and I reviewed their Rum and Raisin ice cream some time ago, but now they're called Coconuts Organic and have two flavours listed in selected Tesco stores - Double Caramel and Chocolate Orange. The tubs are vegan, refined sugar free (they contain coconut sugar instead), nut free and gluten free. They cost £5 a tub which may seem a lot, but trust me these bad boys are worth it! (especially when compared to Halo Top Dairy Free which is the same price).

I bought a tub of both the Chocolate Orange and Caramel, and will review the Orange at a later date. This Double Caramel flavour is described as "Organic non-dairy caramel ice cream, made with coconut cream, unrefined coconut sugar and a caranel swirl" and contains 40% coconut cream, coconut sugar, plus a few natural stabilisers like pectin etc. And it tastes delicious! When I got the tub home the consistency was lovely and melty, and just perfect to eat.

I wasn’t quite prepared for just how nice this was! It’s super caramelly, with both the ice cream and sauce being like a one-two punch, and kept making me think of blonde chocolate in ice cream form. Unlike some dairy free ice creams it wasn’t sorbet like at all and in fact had the perfect consistency - creamy but not watery. It tastes pretty much like a real dairy ice cream. The caramel sauce is just enough for little indulgent little mouthfuls. Compared to Halo Top Dairy Free Ice Creams this knocks the pants off them - no contest! 

Overall, if you’re vegan or avoiding dairy for any reason then these are an absolute must-try and will probably become a staple! (they already have with one of my vegan friends I suspect). Definitely the best of all the dairy free ice creams I’ve tried thus far (which granted, isn’t a lot as not many exist, but I’ve still reviewed a fair few by now!) 

Stay tuned for my review of the Chocolate Orange flavour, and let me know in the comments if you’ve tried this, or fancy giving it a try?

    This sounds really promising in lots of ways! It’s nice to see supermarkets stocking products for different dietary requirements. I love the sound of the flavour too! Thanks again for sharing. :-) xx

    The taste is very good and fragrant. Moreover, it tastes like milk geometry dash lite.

Pringles Salted Egg Review

Another weird snack and this time it’s Salted Egg Flavour Pringles! These are apparently popular in other parts of the word so maybe not as weird as they may seem to us Brits... and they’re actually not so bad! Not as eggy as I expected - I had visions of an awful gaseous pong coming from the tub, haha! - but just a slight salty egg flavour.   If you’re curious, find them from www.gbgifts.co.uk (gifted).

Asda Tinned Banana Blossom Review

Recently, I spotted a totally new vegetable/fruit (not sure which it actually is!) in Asda called Banana Blossom in a tin. It was next to the tins of Jackfruit which is a well known vegan meat alternative. I assumed it was a similar thing so happily bought some to try - it’s £1.50 a tin. The image on the wrapper looked innocent enough - battered fish pieces, only vegan! Surely this stuff must be good? Turns out that packaging was very misleading because nothing could prepare me for the horror that was lurking inside...when I opened the tin it was like opening something from a horror film, discovering the mouldy body of an ancient alien creature or other such evil. It looked hideous!! “Surely this is not meant for human consumption?!”, I thought. Heck it’s not even suitable for bird consumption....I think flies would even turn their nose up at this thing, which looked like rotten infested seaweed. When I posted this on my  Instagram  page the responses were predictably

Lidl Way To Go Fin Carre Ethical Chocolate

I recently spotted some new funky looking bars in Lidl, and instantly they reminded me of Tony’s Chocolonely bars, the ethical brand that launched last year donating money to helping end slavery in cocoa production. I’ve always loved the Tony’s brand and I think in 2020, more than ever, we need more ethically produced products - it should be expected, let’s be honest! So it’s always nice to see another brand like this even if it’s essentially copying Tony’s. I got the dark chocolate version to try as I was curious how it would be compared to other dark chocolates. In hindsight this was a mistake, as the actual chocolate is nothing extraordinary. It’s nice enough and good quality don’t get me wrong but it has no particular distinct flavour to make me buy it again. I’ll certainly try the other two flavours which are Milk Chocolate and Almond and Sea Salt, and I do like the chunky haphazard block design that mimics Tony’s Chocolonely. It’s a shame through that Lidl don’t just stock
