What is the cream in vegan ice cream if it's not milkfat and casein protein?

>>18179441
This stuff is nuts

Ever read the ingredients of the stuff that comes in pints? Most of it is just as fake.

Probably the lemon sorbet; sorbets are usually vegan by default. Not a fan of the nut juices vegans try to pretend is milk like.

The lemon sorbet.

None, I'd visit a real ice cream parlor instead.

While I find vegans to be insufferable cunts who make their diet into a religion, the “ice cream” can be good.

My father developed a bad dairy sensitivity a few years back so I often bring him dairy-free versions of things he had to give up to try when I visit, as I live in a hustle-and-bustle area with an abundance of vegan stores with dairy-free stuff.

Vegan “””cheese””” is shit. All of it. Even if they get the flavor close, the texture sucks and it doesn’t melt properly.

But the “ice cream” can be surprisingly good. Texture/consistency can be good to the point of being mistakable for the real if someone isn’t an ice cream connoisseur.
The only other vegan item I’ve found that’s legit equivalent to the real thing is the dairy-free chocolate bar that Lindt makes. It genuinely tastes like good milk chocolate.

Bro, you are the reason why I visit /ck/

What is the substitution? How is the shelf life? This seems like witchcraft to me. At least link some kind of instruction.

I've never tried any vegan food alternatives except vegan Ben's&Jerrys ice cream that were on sale and they're surprisingly tasted pretty good

Bro I don’t make it, I buy it.
For the ice cream, there are various methods and it depends on who makes it.
Haagen-Dazs makes their dairy free stuff (at least the chocolate) by using sugar and also corn syrup (not HFCS, regular corn syrup is a thickening agent for sweet foods), and pectin. They also add Belgian chocolate as the primary ingredient behind water, sugar, and corn syrup, so it surely helps the flavor.
I’ve also had quite good locally-made chocolate vegan “ice cream” that apparently used silken tofu as a base, but I don’t know anything about it beyond that.
Or if you mean the chocolate bar I mentioned, it looks like Lindt just uses oat “milk” instead of milk, and adds some almond paste, which I assume helps with consistency.

If you can't handle lactose, just make ice cream out of lactose-free milk or goat milk. Serving me ice cream that's made of almonds isn't any better. Just about every can't handle much lactose, and everyone also can't handle a metric ton of nuts needed to turn it into milk and ice cream.

Forgot to add
>shelf life
The ice cream is normal for ice cream. It’s frozen. So it has frozen shelf life.
As for the chocolate, I took some to my father which I purchased last weekend, and “best by” date was Oct31 of this year.
But I don’t know the production date, so I don’t know what the overall life is.

ALL OF THEM

Good post

You’re either mistaken as to what “vegan” means, or you’re conflating lactose intolerance with dairy sensitivity/allergy.
Goat milk contains less lactose than cow, but not by much.

You are highly likely already eating tons of vegan ice cream and you don't even know it because it doesn't specifically call itself vegan.
Most ice cream nowadays is not made with milk anymore

>>18179437
The pina collada will probably be good. It’s just coconut milk and pineapple. Probably nothing wrong with the lemon sorbet either.

>>18179437
i would dragged across concrete the owner and their shitty little ice cream shop

>>18180333
Don't get why lactose intolerant people even bother with avoiding lactose when they invented pills for them to be able to eat\drink it, are they expensive or something

>>18180424
>you highly likely don’t know the difference between ice cream and “ice cream” because label conspiracy
Anon, believe it or not, labeling regulations are rather strict.
You can’t label something “ice cream” when it isn’t made with milk.
Even if it’s made with milk-based ingredients but lacks fresh milk/cream, it has to be labeled as a “frozen dairy dessert” as opposed to ice cream.
Clearly labeling as “Non-dairy ice cream” is permissible, as anyone who isn’t a retard knows non-dairy means “no milk or cream”
Take some meds, get some sleep, and tomorrow read some labeling regs.

>Which of these vegan ice creams would you get?
if it's vegan, it's going to be some kind of nut milk, no thanks unless coconut milk.
So, pina colada or the lemon sorbet.

Coconut milk ice cream is fantastic. I made dark chocolate ginger a while back. The coconut milk adds a great, cool note to it.

A Molotov to toss into their shitty ice cream joint

They don't work as advertise most of the time.

>>18180626
Depending on your sensitivity they don't work
