Date-Sweetened Frozen Desserts

Mud Ice Cream is Made with Four to Five Simple Ingredients

— March 3, 2020 — Lifestyle
MUD Ice Cream is dairy-free, vegan and paleo-friendly, offering a simple way for people to satisfy a sweet tooth with frozen treats that are made with just four to five ingredients. The dairy-free frozen desserts are made with a base of creamy organic coconut milk that's sweetened only with dates and enhanced with just a few other key ingredients to create flavors like Coffee, Chocolate and Vanilla. According to the brand, "Our Vanilla MUD looks a little darker, tastes a little richer and feels a little creamier than other Vanilla frozen desserts. Simply because of our ingredients including dates as the only sweetener and pure Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla."

Some of the other recognizable ingredients in these vegan-friendly flavors are Himalayan pink salt, organic cacao powder, organic acacia gum and organic coffee.
