Product Review: Trader Joe's Soy Creamy Mini Vanilla Sandwiches

Trader Joe's Soy Creamy Mini Vanilla Sandwiches

I love Trader Joe's! They have a lot of vegan products that I am looking forward to trying. I started in the dessert section with Soy Creamy Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert Mini Vanilla Sandwiches, aka vegan ice cream sandwiches. These are made from tofu, but don't have a soy aftertaste like most soy products.

Review: Trader Joe's Soy Creamy Mini Vanilla Sandwiches

First impressions: "This is good... This is soy? I couldn't tell"
Taste: It doesn't really taste like ice cream, but it's still good. It's kind of like comparing cool whip to whipped cream. They are different but both good in their own way.
Texture: The texture is similar to a non-vegan ice cream sandwich. The cookie part is chocolately, soft, and sticks to your fingers. The ice cream part is smooth and a little softer than non-vegan ice cream. It doesn't melt as fast as a standard ice cream sandwich.
Does it look like the picture on the box? Yes
Can you tell it's vegan? No. It tastes different than ice cream but there is no soy aftertaste.
Worth buying again? Yes, especially to try the other flavors. There is also a chocolate and maybe strawberry.
Overall: 4/5. Good but not amazing.
