With the growing demand for plant-based dishes, ice cream maker Humphry Slocombe has teamed up with Top Chef finalist Melissa King and Whole Foods Market to create a vegan-friendly Almond Chocolate Crunch flavor.
Almond Chocolate Crunch is the sixth pint released as part of the collaboration between Humphry Slocombe and Whole Foods Market. The new flavor is now available in more than 150 Whole Foods Market stores—much to the delight of vegan and dairy-free consumers. To create the plant-based pint, the Humphry Slocombe team combined creamy almond milk with candied almonds and rich chocolate chips. The result is a creamy ice cream that tastes just like an almond butter cup. In fact, Top Chef Finalist Melissa King says, "It’s so good, you won’t even notice it’s dairy-free."
