What You Should Know

Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream Non Dairy Vegan Chocolate Chip is a 14 fl oz premium frozen dessert you’ll find in the supermarket freezer aisle alongside other nondairy and premium ice creams — think next to oat- and almond-based pints, small-batch brands, and specialty vegan novelties. Packaged in a pint-style tub, its Brooklyn origin story and hand-crafted language are prominent on the label, signaling artisanal credentials. This flavor reads like a plant-based take on a childhood classic: a rich cashew- and coconut-cream base sweetened with cane and dark brown sugar, studded with chewy cookie dough pieces and single-origin dark chocolate chips. The texture is creamy and dense from coconut cream and cocoa butter, with occasional toothsome pockets of dough and bittersweet chocolate that cut the sweetness. Typical rituals include scooping into bowls for movie nights, sharing at small gatherings, or topping warm pies and desserts for an indulgent finish. Brand positioning leans premium and craft-forward — small-batch, housemade raw cashew milk, “single origin” chocolate, and Brooklyn provenance appeal to environmentally and ingredient-conscious millennials and flexitarians seeking luxe vegan options. Label characteristics create a natural/clean halo: “vegan,” “non-dairy,” “housemade,” and selective organic ingredient mentions (organic virgin coconut oil) foreground purity, even though the ingredient list includes added sugars and stabilizers. In plain terms this product is a made-food item combining whole-food bases with processed components (added oils, sugars, and emulsifiers) to deliver a consistent, indulgent frozen treat.

Common Questions about Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream Non Dairy Vegan Chocolate Chip

Health can be pretty subjective, right? If you’re looking for a sweet treat, this ice cream is definitely a more indulgent option with 22 grams of sugar per serving. It has some good fats from cashew milk and coconut cream, but it’s not exactly a health food. Think of it as an occasional dessert rather than a daily staple!
