So Delicious Ice Cream Bars Review
So Delicious Ice Cream Bars are a dairy-free frozen dessert made by So Delicious. Read about the nutritional information, a general taste test, and what we like and dislike about these chocolate dipped treats in this So Delicious Ice Cream Bars Review.
If 2024 was the year of plant-based cheese reviews, I intend to make 2025 the year of dairy-free ice cream, because I think everyone deserves a delicious ice cream moment in their lives.
One of the toughest aspects about making dairy-free ice cream is getting the smooth and creamy consistency correct. I have often found that because plant-based milks are made with a water base they tend to yield a more icy instead of creamy ice cream.
With this in mind, I will be ruthless in my quest to find you the best dairy-free ice cream desserts the market has to offer. I will sacrifice my time, budget, and waste line to test, review, and share my experiences with you. It’s a selfless act but someone has got to do it.
Without farther ado, let me introduce to you the first frozen treat review of 2025, So Delicious Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert Bars.
Please note that these are not products sent to me or items I will earn any commissions on for the review. Simply put, this is a dairy-free product I tried, liked, and could see myself using time and again.
What is the So Delicious Brand?
So Delicious is a dairy free brand that produces a variety of non-dairy products such as:
- Coconut Milk– both shelf stable and refrigerated
- Creamer
- Frozen Desserts– Ice cream pints, chocolate dipped dessert bars, ice cream sandwiches, sundae cones, and cocowhip topping.
- Yogurt Alternatives
According to their website, they started out making frozen desserts which is why the frozen dessert selection is hands down their most extensive.
Over the past 30 years they have continued to expand their portfolio to include foods and beverages made from coconuts, almonds, cashews and most recently, oats.
They use high-quality ingredients and claim to have a rigorous allergen control program to ensure you know what is in each product.
You can check out the So Delicious website to learn more about their products, history, and allergy information.
What ingredients are in So Delicious Frozen Dessert Bars?
The So Delicious Brand offers a variety of flavors but the two I was able to get locally include the dipped salted caramel bars and the dipped almond mocha fudge. Both are certified vegan, pareve, and gluten free.

The So Delicious Dessert Bar Taste Test
It’s safe to say this is probably what you really want to know, how do they taste? Like every great researcher I will break it down by sample before giving you my overall opinion on the frozen treats.
Salted Caramel
- A crisp thick coating of chocolate surrounded the frozen dessert.
- The salted caramel flavor came through right away.
- Internally, the ice cream was both sweet and salty.
- A surprisingly more creamy texture than I expected.
Almond Mocha Fudge
- Loved the thick layer of chocolate coating.
- Almond bits in the chocolate coating were just the right size.
- Dairy free ice cream was creamy.
- Had a hint of mocha flavor in the ice cream that did not overpower the rest of the ice cream bar.
What do we like about the So Delicious Dessert Bars?
There are a number of things I really like about these So Delicious non-dairy frozen dessert bars including:
- Thick chocolate dipping– I don’t feel like they skimp on the coating.
- Creamy ice cream filling.
- Strong flavors. You aren’t left guessing what each flavor should taste like.
What do we Didn’t Like about So Delicious Dipped Frozen Dessert?
These may come across as nit-picky but the things I didn’t like about these frozen treats include:
- Long list of ingredients.
- High levels of saturated fat, coming in with 50% of your daily serving per bar.
- Salted caramel might have been a little too salted.
- Price. As of January 2025, they run about $7 a box when they are not on sale.
Final Thoughts and Reflections So Delicious Frozen Treats
Overall, I enjoyed this product. I felt like I was eating an enjoyable ice cream treat and felt like if everyone around me was having a traditional ice cream bar I wouldn’t be left out by enjoying one of these.
While I think this is true for all desserts, I wouldn’t say this is going to be a nightly treat for me, but I would definitely buy them again– especially when they are on sale.
