Almond Dream Ice Cream Review

Recently I bought some Almond Dream vegan ice cream from Waitrose and I thought I'd share my opinions here. The flavours available were praline crunch, salted caramel, mint chocolate chip and vanilla. I got praline crunch and salted caramel. They were delicious and creamy.

I particularly loved the way the salted caramel one had drizzles of caramel sauce throughout, my only complaint was that it didn't taste salty at all. It might as well have just been caramel ice cream. The praline one was crunchy and delicious.

I will definitely go for Almond Dream ice cream again simply because the flavours were slightly more interesting than the other vegan ice cream brands in the UK, I just wish they were a little bit cheaper.

Whittard's Hot Chocolate

It's February. It's cold. It's depressing. But good news! Hot chocolate exists! Today I want to discuss Whittard's hot chocolate and why it might be the best thing in the world to help relieve the doom and gloom from the dreary winter months.

First of all, some (NOT ALL) of the flavours are vegan, which is good news for us as so many brands these days add milk. All you have to do is heat up your favourite kind of vegan milk (I prefer almond milk) and then you add 2 - 3 tsps of Whittard's hot chocolate in what ever flavour you desire.

My favourite flavours are; chilli, rocky road and banoffee. Unfortunately, the banoffee flavour has been discontinued, but don't worry. Me and all of the other banoffee lovers are on it. If enough people request for it to return, they might just bring it back.

So what flavours are vegan?

Hot chocolate 70% cocoa, caramel, rocky road, chilli, dreamtime, 60% cocoa flaked drinking chocolate, luxury hot chocolate, 55% Ecuadorian cocoa, orange and 77% cocoa flaked drinking chocolate. Click on the links to be directed to the flavours and where to buy them.

What flavours aren't vegan?

Mint (Weird, right? Don't worry. Mint chocolate's gross anyway), strawberry white hot chocolate, vanilla caramel, white and dark flaked drinking chocolate, créme brûlée white chocolate and luxury white hot chocolate.
