I taste-tested the entire range to work out if they live up to the hype. This review looks at Ben & Jerry’s Sundae Non Dairy Berry Revolutionary 427ml. Find out if it’s worth a spot in your freezer.
Is B&J Non Dairy Berry Revolutionary any good?
Ben & Jerry’s Non Dairy Berry Revolutionary is a vegan frozen dessert. The bottom layer mixes raspberry ice cream, sandwich cookies, and chocolatey cookie swirls. The top part of the tub is a soft whipped dessert with caramel swirls and chocolatey chunks.
Berry Revolutionary looks like an exciting flavour. They’ve raised the bar on what consumers can expect from vegan desserts. The almond flavour is hard to detect; it’s a huge step up from soy-based frozen desserts we’ve endured for years.
However, this pint isn’t perfect. It’s super-sweet, and the combination of berry, choc, and caramel tastes weird. The raspberry was grainy and lacked the creaminess of traditional ice cream. I also found the chocolatey chunks tasted like cheap compound chocolate and didn’t bring much to the table.
Berry Revolutionary may not be perfect, but it stands out as one of the best vegan options. It shows how far plant based desserts have come in recent years. I’m eager to see how Ben & Jerry’s and others will continue to innovate in this space.
Pros
- Less calories and sugar than their non-vegan range.
- One of the best plant-based options on offer.
- No overwhelming soy or coconut flavour.
- One small tub lasts longer than you’d expect.
Cons
- Expensive for the pack size.
- The flavours need work.
- A very sweet frozen dessert.
- Not made in Australia.
What do other customers think of this ice cream?
I looked at hundreds of online reviews to see what others think of this product. Here’s a summary:
The reviews for this frozen dessert show a variety of opinions. Many reviewers appreciate the vegan option, highlighting the innovative flavours and textures. They enjoyed the creamy, fruity, and chocolatey elements with crunchy cookie bits and caramel swirls.
The layered sundae concept was popular for its novelty and taste. However, some found the flavour combinations too sweet or artificial, and others noted a preference for other flavours over this one.
Though opinions on texture and consistency varied, the berry flavour was generally liked. Some found the ice cream too soft or too hard.
Despite some criticism, many would repurchase the product.
