What is Aldi vegan ice cream made of?
Vegan ice cream is a type of ice cream that is made without any animal products. Traditional ice cream - and even Aldi mochi ice cream - typically contains dairy milk, cream, and eggs, which are derived from animals. However, vegan ice cream is made using plant-based ingredients to create a similar creamy and frozen dessert. Aldi's vegan ice cream is made with an almond milk base, rather than using oat milk. It is a dairy free ice cream.

Reviews
Earth Grown vegan ice cream reviews are very positive. Many people point out how affordable the vegan ice cream is compared to other brands.
The Earth Grown non-dairy ice cream is awesome! The texture was just like regular ice cream, I would never have guessed it was made with almond milk.

Don’t buy the Mocha Fudge flavor unless you’re ok with eating the entire container in one sitting. 😅

The ice cream will have a prominent coconut flavor and hints of almond flavor. Almond milk is the main ingredient, but coconut oil is also used in this vegan ice cream.
Aldi's version of vegan ice cream differs from other brands by primarily using almond milk instead of a coconut milk base. However, the coconut flavor is still noticeable in the Earth Grown vegan frozen desserts. Individuals who are not fond of coconut might not prefer the taste of this product.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is vegan ice cream healthier than regular ice cream?
Vegan ice cream can be a healthier alternative for those who are lactose intolerant or have dairy allergies. It is generally lower in saturated fat and cholesterol, and some versions may offer additional nutritional benefits depending on the ingredients used. Cottage cheese ice cream isn't vegan or dairy free, but it is a high-protein ice cream for any health-conscious individuals.
Can people with nut allergies have vegan ice cream?
Vegan ice cream can be made without nuts, as there are various dairy free milk options available that don't contain nuts. However, Aldi vegan ice cream is made with almond milk. Almonds are a nut and, therefore, the ice cream would not be safe for someone with a nut allergy.
Can vegans eat regular ice cream?
No, vegans cannot eat regular ice cream. Regular ice cream contains dairy and animal-derived ingredients. This makes it unsuitable for vegans. Vegans choose to avoid any form of animal exploitation or cruelty, including the consumption of animal products like dairy. Anyone with a dairy allergy or lactose intolerance should also not eat regular ice cream.
