Ben & Jerrys Non Dairy Ice Cream, Cherry Garcia

Ben & Jerry's Non-Dairy Cherry Garcia is a 16 fl oz pint you'll find in the frozen desserts aisle, shelved with both traditional dairy ice creams and other plant-based frozen novelties. Expect to see it near almond- or coconut-based pints and premium scoopable ice creams rather than single-serve novelty bars. Shoppers buy it for weekend treats, movie-night indulgence, or to round out a vegan dinner as an easy dessert. The brand leans on playful countercultural roots — a tribute flavor to a jam-band icon — and projects progressive, socially conscious values (Fairtrade sourcing, Non-GMO Project, certified vegan), appealing to millennials and Gen Z who want indulgence aligned with ethical claims. Packaging is a familiar Ben & Jerry’s cardboard pint with bold artwork; label callouts include “Made with almond milk,” “Non-Dairy,” “Certified Vegan,” and Non-GMO/ Fairtrade badges, creating a health-and-ethics halo even though the product contains added sugars, syrups and stabilizers. In plain processing terms, this is a highly processed frozen dessert made from plant milk along with multiple sweeteners, emulsifiers and gums to recreate creamy texture. Sensory profile: spoonable, creamy almond-milk base with juicy cherry pieces and fudge flakes that add chocolatey chew and contrast; the mouthfeel is rich and slightly fatty from coconut oil, with a soft scoop straight from the freezer. Rituals include sharing the pint at gatherings, topping with fruit for brunch, or packing a serving for a late-night comfort snack. Nutrition notes like 320 kcal per 2/3 cup and 31 g sugar underscore its treat status rather than everyday health food.
