Review of 'So Delicious' Coconut Milk Non Dairy Frozen Dessert (Vanilla Bean)

So Delicious -- Coconut Milk Non Dairy Frozen Dessert (Vanilla Bean) (vegan, gluten-free)
Overall Rating: 4.5/5
Summary: boy, was I pleasantly surprised. I thought vanilla bean would be boring (especially since I'm a fan of addins!). This was amazing in its own right -- just pure, rich vanilla flavour. It was creamy and perfectly sweet. My only issue was, like many non-dairy ice creams, it's iciness, Granted, it wasn't nearly as hard or icy as other ones I've had. I only had to let it melt a couple of minutes before it was game on!
