\"Ben<\/p>\n

What is it?<\/h3>\n

At first, I thought the idea of using almond milk to make a non-dairy version of Ben & Jerry\u2019s fantastic Cinnamon Buns Ice Cream sounded like using gluten-free ingredients to make Cinnabon\u2019s classic roll. But, while gluten-free Cinnabon doesn\u2019t seem too appetizing, that\u2019s not the case with this pint.<\/p>\n

While the dairy version has caramel ice cream, this one features a cinnamon-flavored non-dairy frozen dessert base. But, like the original, cinnamon bun dough pieces and a cinnamon streusel swirl are included.<\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

If you love cinnamon, you will enjoy this flavor immensely. There\u2019s so much of it that it\u2019s as if someone used the spice as talcum powder on their hands and then punched me in the face with them. It does an outstanding job at hiding the fact it\u2019s a non-dairy dessert.<\/p>\n

\"Ben<\/p>\n

Most of the cinnamon flavor comes from the gooey swirl. It has that sugary grittiness one would feel in a cinnamon bun and the same explosive flavor. Surprisingly, the non-dairy base doesn\u2019t taste as if it has much of the spice. I do get a little bit of the almond milk, which my brain seems to registers as a bit of doughiness.<\/p>\n

The cinnamon dough balls have the same texture as the chocolate chip cookie dough balls in Ben & Jerry\u2019s classic variety. The spice is in every bite, but they don\u2019t have as much of a punch as the swirl. There\u2019s also an equal amount of brown sugar that adds a sweetness that cuts through all the spice. This is welcomed because it makes the dessert not so one note.<\/p>\n

Is there anything else I need to know?<\/h3>\n

The flavor does linger and makes your mouth feel as if you’re chewing on a well-worn piece of Big Red Gum.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

As I mentioned at the beginning of the review, I find the original Cinnamon Buns Ice Cream to be superb, and this non-dairy version, while not as creamy, is just as hard-to-put-down tasty.<\/p>\n
