Trader Joe's Hold the Dairy! Salted Caramel Mini Frozen Dessert Cones come 12 to a pack and cost $4.29. They're not only dairy-free but vegan!
Each cone is individually wrapped, and the suggested serving size is SIX cones! The cones are a product of Italy.
True to the photo on the box, the cones are the same size as the photo.
The non-dairy "ice cream" is made with rice milk. The cones are lined with chocolate, with a bit pooling in the bottom.
Dairy-free dessert recipes to try:
- coffee + coconut milk popsicles (feeding your beauty)
- abracadabra chocolate coconut mousse (bake at 350)
- chocolate brownie cheesecake bars (wholesomelicious)
Trader Joe's Hold the Dairy! Salted Caramel Mini Frozen Dessert Cones Review
She says (Bridget): *sigh* I really wanted to like these. Let's start with the good...I liked the chocolate at the bottom of the cone. The salted caramel "ice cream" flavor tasted really artificial to me. Maybe I've been spoiled by Jeni's Salty Caramel Ice Cream over the years. And, being made from rice milk, the texture just isn't ideal. It's a little icy and doesn't hit the creamy consistency I was hoping for. The rest of the box is going in the trash, so...
Overall rating: 1 out of 5 stars
He says (Mark): Having ice cream treats available in the freezer that remain uneaten is unheard of with me around. You've heard of the Cookie Monster; I am the Ice Cream Monster. Only one of these cones - even though the serving size is listed as six - was enough for me to form a strong opinion. The ice cream portion had an odd “something is off” taste to it, and the cone was a little too soft (gimme some crunch, people!). I'll stick with my old standby - the ice cream sandwich. (TJ's, there's an idea for you.)
Overall rating: 2 out of 5 stars
Will we buy this again? Nope.
Trader Joe's Hold the Dairy! Salted Caramel Mini Frozen Dessert Cones: I'm sticking with the real stuff and popping a Lactaid. ;)
