Three flavors of Purely Decadent Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert

Gluten free ice cream isn’t necessarily hard to find. Many brands of ice cream such as Breyer’s, Blue Bunny, and Edy’s have a few simple flavors that do not contain gluten.

However, it is much harder to find non-dairy, gluten free ice-cream (also called non-dairy frozen desserts), especially if you have an allergy to soy.  Thankfully, a wonderful company named Turtle Mountain has just the answer for people who need a casein (dairy) free, gluten free, and soy free ice cream.

Turtle Mountain is a privately owned natural foods company located in Eugene, Oregon. The company makes a line of creamy soy based ice creams called So Delicious. If you do not have a soy allergy, these products are wonderful!

Another line of ice cream from Turtle Mountain is the Purely Decadent Coconut Milk gluten free ice cream or non-dairy frozen desserts.  I was thrilled to find that in Raleigh, you can find Turtle Mountain products at Whole Foods Market, Kroger, and Lowe’s Food Stores. (To find a more thorough list of stores, please click here.)

There are 7 flavors of Purely Decadent Coconut Milk Ice Cream. I have had the opportunity to try 3 flavors thus far:

• Mocha Almond Fudge:  This was the first flavor I tasted and it is truly delicious. If you are a coffee fan, you will love the subtle mocha flavor mixed with bits of almonds and a swirl of fudge sauce. This ice cream has absolutely NO coconut flavor and is distinctive in taste and texture.
• Chocolate: A classic ice cream flavor. This Purely Decadent product has a slight hint of coconut flavor, but it does not detract from the creamy rich chocolate flavor. I loved this simple ice cream that is gluten free, dairy free, and soy free!  The creamy composition and smooth taste is truly decadent.
• Cookie Dough:  The chunks of chocolate chip cookie dough made from brown sugar, rice flour, chocolate chips, and a blend of natural oils, really make this flavor a huge hit. The chunks taste just like regular cookie dough. You slightly taste a hint of coconut in this ice cream, but it is barely noticeable next to the creamy texture and the delicious cookie dough! (This flavor does contain soya lecithin – an emulsifier.)
