Countless new low-calorie ice cream products have played a part in reshaping the frozen dessert category as of late and Jude's is now offering a low-calorie vegan dessert for those with special dietary needs or preferences. The Vegan Chocolate frozen dessert boasts just 320 calories per tub, which is about on par to its other dairy-based ice cream options.
These frozen, dairy-free desserts contain 30% less sugar and 30% fewer calories than comparable products on the market, all the while delivering a rich and creamy texture thanks to a base of coconut milk.
While ice cream used to be seen as a purely indulgent dessert product, the newest wave of low-calorie ice cream and frozen dessert alternatives are more like permissible indulgences.
