Taste Test Tuesday: New Decadent (Dairy Free) Soymilk Ice-cream Substitute
I've tasted my share of non-dairy ice-cream substitutes over the years and most of them couldn't quite measure up to their dairy counterparts. But you don't even have to like the taste of soymilk to like this new brand. "I couldn't tell it was made with soymilk," notes my taste-testing husband. "I really like both flavors," concludes my teenage daughter after tasting the two flavors I brought home; Coconut Craze and Turtle Trails.Organic Soymilk is the first ingredient followed by organic dehydrated cane juice for both flavors I picked up at my Whole Foods Market (which tends to have a vast selection of soy-based products). Then I starting the nutrition information label...The two Purely Decadent flavors admittedly aren't as low in fat and calories as the "light" ice creams I'm used to having in my freezer but they are BURSTING with fiber (around 5 grams per serving). They might also be a nice option for people who are avoiding lactose or are looking for decadent alternatives to the really high fat and high saturated fat ice-creams with 18 grams of fat or more per 1/2-cup serving.
They have some really interesting flavors to choose from and each flavor is lower or higher in total fat and saturated fats. Here are two of the flavors:
Turtle Trails contains 200 calories, 8 grams fat, 1.5 g saturated fat, 31 g carbohydrate, and 5 g fiber!
Coconut Craze contains 240 calories, 12 grams of fat, 4.5 g saturated fats (seems to be mostly from the coconut flakes and coconut oil added), 31 g carbohydrate, and 6 g fiber!

Wow, I have to say that Purely Decadent is amazing! I thought it was going to taste like soy but it doesn't at all, it is like regular ice cream. I tried the Pomegranate Chip and all I can say is, "WOW"!!
Pomegranate Chip? Okay, that's next on my list to try!

I work for Turtle Mountain, the folks who make Purely Decadent. Thanks for the great review. I thought I'd let you know that we have just launched Purely Decadent made with Coconut Milk. You should give it a try! It's dairy free, soy free, sweetened with organic agave syrup and only 150-180 calories per serving. Yum! I'm eating some as I write this.
How much sugar is in the soy milk ice cream?
I have been lactose intolerant for the past two years and really missed ice cream in the summer. This past month I have discovered Purely Decadent and have indulged every day. To add further joy I haven't gained weight either!
Ditto: How much sugar is in the soy icecream
tim - I looked at the Turtle Mountain website for the coconut milk product, but I can't find it. When can we expect to see it in stores?
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, WHERE I CAN PURCHASE PURELY DECADENT. WHO MAKES IT?. I LIVE IN MEMPHIS TENN
