Up until this point, Ben & Jerry's has only introduced Non-Dairy Frozen Desserts made with a base of almond milk but the beloved brand is now expanding its vegan-friendly offerings with a trio of pints made with sunflower butter. The three newest Non-Dairy Frozen Desserts from Ben & Jerry's include all cookie-inspired flavors: "Milk" & Cookies, Crème Brûlée Cookie and Mint Chocolate Cookie. These new products are easily distinguished by their yellow lids decorated with flower shapes. Notably, non-dairy flavors now make up more than 25% of the company's flavors.
Now that consumers have been introduced to a variety of plant-based frozen desserts made with milk alternatives, a new wave of products is emerging that puts a spotlight on creamy seed butter.
