We love to try new foods. Some are great. Some don’t measure up and some become staples in our kitchen. See what you think.
This brand will truly surprise you – dairy-free ice cream that could rival regular ice cream in taste and texture. DF Mavens which stands for dairy-free mavens was created by Malcolm Stogo, who has been called the godfather of ice cream. Malcolm invented cookies and cream flavored ice cream in 1977 by crushing Oreos into vanilla ice cream, the iconic chocolate-dipped waffle cone, and founded Ice Cream University an education and consulting group based in New Jersey. Now in his 70s Malcolm took on the challenge of producing a dairy-free ice cream and he has succeeded.
DF Mavens offers 3 groups of dairy-free, kosher certified (OU), vegan ice creams based either in soy milk, almond milk or coconut milk. Each variety is excellent.
