Review: Archer Farms Non-Dairy Vanilla Cake & Cookie Dough Frozen Dessert

Archer Farms, a relatively new player in the world of vegan ice cream products, didn’t disappoint us when we tried its Vanilla Cake and Cookie Dough frozen dessert. Unfortunately, Archer Farms didn’t wow us either. This frozen dessert is a solid option for anyone looking for a run-of-the-mill vegan alternative to ice cream, but not a flavor that you should go out of your way for.

If you’re a fan of almond milk and love its nutty roasted flavor, this pinky perfection may be something you can get behind. However, despite the great-tasting base of almond milk, it has a fairly watery consistency. As almond milk is mainly made of almonds and water, this dessert does not hold its shape well and melts very quickly. However, if you enjoy more icy and light desserts, this may be something you may want to try!

Although the feel of scooping this ice cream is not a perfect emulation of scooping real ice cream, the cookie dough chunks increase the overall enjoyability of this treat, as they diversify the texture present.

Archer Farms makes this dairy alternative available in quite a few different flavors, giving fans of the dessert a wide variety. The vanilla cake and cookie dough flavor do a nice job of imitating the taste of cookie dough while still maintaining a semi-sweet vanilla background.

To some, the big swirls of fudge and chewy cookie dough of this ice cream are the perfect blend. However, to others, they may result in a strange texture that is an odd combination of watery and thick and generally unpleasant.

Overall, this treat is great to try out, but you should consider that it tends to melt relatively quickly, and does not exactly replicate dairy ice cream, factors that may easily bring this treat from an enjoyable and light dessert to one that may leave you quite unsatisfied.
