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

So Delicious' Coconut Milk Non Dairy Frozen Dessert (Coconut) (vegan, gluten-free)
Overall Rating: 4/5
Summary: although this was definitely a hit, the major issue I had was the hardness/iciness of the dessert. Even after melting for a good 5 minutes, it wasn't soft enough, so the creaminess you expect just wasn't there. The coconut flavour was light, but present enough. I was happy that it wasn't overbearing. The flakes and little bits of coconut definitely enhanced the taste and texture. The sweetness was perfect as well. This, my friends, I readily recommend.

So sure, I finished the entire container in one sitting on Christmas, but it was my gift to myself, okay?! Also...I ain't at all worried because the ingredients are gorgeous--organic, agave-sweetened, and wholesome! What's even better is the 6g of fiber per serving! That's basically unheard of in ice-creams. God bless coconuts.

I've talked about the benefits of coconut-derived ingredients before and how you need not be afraid of the high fat content. There's a unique feature in coconut fats that allows it to be more easily than other types of saturated fats. You can read more about it here.
