This product is a HIT! If you are looking for a non-dairy ice cream substitute you might want to try Blue Mountain Cashew Creamery Mango Cashew Cream. It actually is a base of agave, cashews, and mango. It is creamy, not as much as you would find in Hagen Das or Ben and Jerry’s, but it is really quite good. This is also raw to ensure the digestive enzymes retain their potency. Cashews are also rich in monounsaturates – so it is the good fat – and it is vegan. Retails for $8.00 – 9.00.
