Product: Chocolate Fudge Treats by Tofutti

I have been aware of this Frozen icecream-on-a-stick treat for quite some time but did not think I would ever see it in the shops here in Perth. Tofutti are an American company that make various vegan suitable food stuffs, some of which I have tried and loved. (See my previous post about their Cuties, tubs of icecream and Marry Me bars - Yummo!)

To my surprise and joy, I actually found their Chocolate Fudge Treats in the freezer section of Coles at Dogswamp, Tuart Hill. There were boxes of them in an up right freezer cabinet, along with kosher products. (Yes, some kosher products are also vegan.) I snatched a box and took it home. The box contains 12 of the treats and to my surprise, I have actually managed to make them last!

They are creamy and delicious, tasting a lot like Peter's Billabongs. (Note for the non-Australians reading this: Billabongs are a common chocolatey dairy icecream on a stick. I have never had one in my life (yay!) but a friend has assured me that is what this product by Tofutti tastes like.)

There is a catch to this product, however. It contains Nutrasweet, which I know is a controversial ingredient for some. All I will say is, do some research and draw your own conclusions. Personally, I'd rather have the calories than artificial sweeteners, but then again, I am not adverse to consuming something once in a while that contains it. Like I said, I have one of these once in a while - not everyday, 30 calories each or not.

I have not seen them anywhere else other than my local Coles Supermarket but if anyone else has, please post a comment below and let me know. Thanks!

UPDATE: I have contacted the company in regards to palm oil, as a few people have asked me if this product contains it. Tofutti have assured me that it does not contain palm oil or any other kind of oil.

Tofutti : dairy free icecreams and cheese products

Without a doubt, American company Tofutti produce THE best non-dairy icecream I have ever tasted.

Their "Marry Me" bars are my absolute faves. Such a creamy vanilla icecream, with crisp chocolate coating. I can demolish one way too quickly!

Then there are the "Cuties". These are vanilla dairy free versions of the 'icecream sandwich". So creamy! There is a good range of flavours of this product but I have only been able to find the vanilla one so far.

There are also dairy free icecream tubs available in various flavours, though again, I have only been able to find a few of varieties.

As for their dairy-free cheese products, I have tried plain "Better than cream cheese" which is a smooth , and nice tasting alternative to the dairy variety. The flavour is subtler and the consistency allows you to use it as a dip.  There are a few varieties of it, available, but I prefer the plain one.

The "Sour Supreme" is a dairy free sour cream, which I enjoy having with vegan nachos. The flavour is less sour than the dairy variety, which I prefer.

There are many more products made by this company , but being imported from the USA, their availability here seems to be somewhat limited. So far, I have been able to find these products in various IGA stores, Woolworths, PAWS and Fresh Stop Market (Shop 1 Dog Swamp Shopping Centre, Joondanna).
