Sweet Science - Vegan Banana Fudge Peanut

Vegan Banana Fudge Peanut - Vegan Banana-Cashew Ice Cream with Vegan Fudge Swirl and Crunchy Peanuts

The Twin Cities-based Sweet Science Ice Cream has a new vegan flavor for the spring called Vegan Banana Fudge Peanut.  Here, Sweet Science's cashew-based non-dairy base is flavored with banana and a fudge swirl and crunchy peanuts are added as mix-ins.  Looks good.  Let's check it out.

Removing the lid, I see all of the ingredients right off the bat.  The banana base has the same color as banana bread, there are some peanuts visible right away and I see some generous dollops of the fudge swirl on top as well.  Digging in, the banana base has a dense texture.  I can tell that it is not as 'creamy' as a dairy base, but it still has a good texture and is not at all icy.  The flavor is an earthy banana-bread type of banana flavor as opposed to the sweeter banana-pudding type of flavor.  Then the fudge swirls are thick and very chocolatey -- quite delicious.  Also, it is always fun to have large peanut pieces (mostly halves) as an ice cream mix-in.  Very crunchy.

This is a very well done non-dairy banana fudge flavor from Sweet Science.  The generous fudge swirls are the star of the show here.  I think I still prefer a dairy banana, but this is still quite good.  Check it out if you are at Sweet Science and interested in a non-dairy option.
