I'm allergic to milk and over the last five years I have become increasingly sensitive to it. I used to be able to tolerate small amounts of cheese but lately I can't even eat the Soy Cheese since it has casein in it (casein is yet another milk protein). I always assumed I was lactose intolerant but the lactaid never really helped. I now suspect I have an allergy to casein.
A couple of weeks ago I was doing some research into the whole casein allergy and found a site that reviewed various casein and lactose free products. One of the products that they reviewed was from Purely Decadent - Coconut Milk Ice Cream. The review indicated that this stuff was vastly superior to the soy ice cream as well as the rice based stuff. If you haven't had soy ice cream I can tell you that it's not bad. It's generally dense and most people only eat it because they avoid milk.
The Coconut Milk Ice Cream is really tasty. It's less healthy than the soy stuff and has 7 grams of fat (all of it saturated). It's really good. There's a slight coconut flavor to the two flavors(Vanilla Bean and Cookie Dough) I've tried so far but I don't mind coconut. The best thing is that you can put a spoon into the stuff and actually get it to come out of the container. The consistency is slightly softer than Bryers and a bit more dense. The mouth feel of it reminds me of Hagen Daas. The fat content of the ice cream that we have on hand is 11 grams per serving with 5 grams of that saturated. The Purely Decadent has 7 grams of fat and all of it is saturated.
I found it at Whole Foods.
