Cold Brew Coffee & Boba Coconut Non-Dairy Dessert

"Among the things we’ve learned whilst working in the food business is that if it looks like ice cream and it tastes like ice cream... it isn’t necessarily ice cream. You see, to be ice cream, a frozen dessert must include that defining ingredient – cream. So, if your frozen dessert happens to be made with a non-dairy liquid base – say, coconut milk (itself a potentially controversial moniker) – it may taste familiar, but it’s not technically ice cream. What it is, in the case of Trader Joe’s Cold Brew Coffee and Boba Coconut Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert, is darn delicious. It begins with a smooth, rich, and yes, creamy coconut milk base – coconut milk is the first ingredient – yet it doesn’t taste even a bit like coconut. Instead, what you’ll taste is cold brew coffee, made from Thai-grown Arabica coffee beans. You wouldn’t guess it’s non-dairy; you will be reminded of your favorite cup of coffee. This is especially true if you’re a boba aficionado – each pint is loaded with the much-loved, chewy tapioca pearls so often found in specialty tea & coffee shops. Frozen Dessert and Boba may seem like an odd pair, yet somehow the partnership really pops. Grab a pint, secure a spoon, and find out for yourself. You’ll find this vegan treat in our freezers with the other ice cream (and ice cream-like) desserts."
