- Nope.
- Why does it taste like dry pasta smells?
(beep)
Hey, guys, I'm Candice the Edgy Veg
and I'm here again with my friend, Louis.
- Hello.
- And you know what that means.
That means that we're going
to taste test some stuff.
We got stuck quarantined together.
You have anything to say about that?
- No.
- Are you sure?
- Mmm hmm.
- Uh huh.
I thought we would do another taste test.
I had all of this ice cream in my freezer,
so I thought it might be
entertaining for you guys
to watch us eat some ice cream.
(laughs)
- 'Cause that's always a lot of fun.
Watch us enjoy ourselves.
You sit there, and we will indulge.

I make new videos every Tuesdays
and Thursdays at 4:00 pm.
If you like these taste test videos,
give this video a big thumb up,
and let us know what you think
of Louis in the comment
section down below.
- Don't do that.
- (laughs) I'm just kidding.
(beep)
Without further ado...
- This one is concerning me.
Look at how much give
there is in the package.
- Okay.
- That's why I was touching it before.
- So we are taste testing
different types of vegan ice cream.
We went out and got so much.
Actually we got so much that we're going
to make this into a two-part video.
We're gonna taste test six
in this video and six in the next.
We're gonna start with
ice creams that are vegan
that are made with a
variety of different bases
that are non-dairy.
- A melange.
- A melange.
- A melange.
- A melange.
You have this one in your hands,
so why don't show it to the nice people.
- This is Arctic Zero
non-dairy frozen dessert.
It is a salted caramel flavor.
Only 40 calors.
- I'm sorry?
- (laughs) I'm hungry.
What the hell?
- Show the nice people what
we're dealing with here.
- What is that?
- What is this nonsense?
(laughs)
- I feel like it was all the way out,
but then it like shrunk.
- So first of all, it feels
like there's nothing in here.
- It's really light.
- Is this salted caramel flavor?
- It's very bizarre.
Warm your spoons.
- So we have some boiling hot water here.
- It's the best way to be able
to dig into hard ice cream.
- Oh, no.
- That doesn't look promising at all.
God.
- It's like icy.
- It's like digging into a freezie.
- So the ingredients are water,
organic cane sugar, dietary fiber,
fava bean protein, so it's
made out of fava beans.
- The texture isn't great,
but the flavor's pretty good.
Kind of missing it's salted caramel.
I feel like it's missing salt.
- You're right.
The flavor is good.
- It tastes like butterscotch.
- Yeah, it's like a Werther's caramel.
- 100%.
- It's like a salted caramel sorbet.
- Yeah, if you blended
this into like a milkshake
with like soy milk or something like that
and broke it down and made it smooth.
- Are we doing that later?
- Yeah, it's actually a pretty good idea.
- Yeah.
I'm not mad at it, it's
just not if you're looking
for like that creaminess of
ice cream that ain't it, sis.
- No, that's a functional ice cream
to be used in other concoctions.
- So you picked the first one,
so I'm picking the second one.
- I know which one you're going for.
(laughs)
- How do you even know?
- Because I knew it before
you even reached for it.
- This one?
Well, I'm curious.
So this is the Chufa Co.
Tigernut Frozen Dessert.
- [Louis] I've never heard of tigernut.
- It's actually not a nut.
It's prebiotic, so I
guess it's a health food.
Low sugar, cappuccino
flavor, and keto friendly.
Water, tigernut, coconut oil,
inulin, fava bean protein,
so it's tigernuts and fava beans again.
- That looks normal.
- It looks like the same
color as the other one.
- Yeah.
- Same consistency it looks like.
- But stevia you can like taste the,
there's like a chemically --
- Yeah, like aspartame.
- Yeah, exactly.
There's a chemical aftertaste.
That kind of looks the same
texture as the last one.
- I hate it.
(laughs)
It tastes --
- That's fucking terrible.
What the fuck is that?
You just blended dirt with soy milk.
- It's dirt.
Not even soy milk.
Tigernut.
No, why did I go in for, uh.
- That's the worst frozen dessert
of any kind I have ever consumed.
It tastes like sadness.
It tastes like disappointment.
- Okay, but there is
like a very distinct --
- Earthy flavor to that.
- Yeah, it tastes like
shitty dried mushrooms.
- Yeah.
Now I really don't want to
be disappointed on this.
So my favorite ice cream
flavor is cookies and cream.
- Of all the ice cream
flavors that's your favorite?
What are you five?
- Yes, have we met.
Oreos the best cookie.
Cookies and creme is the
next one that we are going
to try by Nada Moo.
- Nada Moo like there's nada moo in it
because it's dairy-free,
Biscuits and creme.
- It's made out of organic
coconut milk, organic guar gum,
water, organic agave nectar,
organic tapioca syrup,
and there's like 30 other ingredients.
- Right, but the base of it is coconut.
- Si.
Oh, that's what we're looking at here.
Already slightly disappointed
because the chunks of cookie
don't seem to be as large
as I usually would prefer.
- Oh, it goes in nicely.
Watch the scoopage.
Oh, that's much better.
- Oh, that's creamy.
(gasps)
Are there actually --
- That's much better than
anything else we've seen.
The texture's really off.
- I would say it's the
closest of the three.
- It's good, it's good.
It's just like it's missing a creaminess.
- And it's close to it, but
there's like a texture to it
when you get down to it
that doesn't like totally smooth out.
- No, I don't taste coconut
which usually happens
with coconut milk, so I like it.
- I feel there's like the
slightest undertone of coconut,
but it's super subtle.
- It's very good.
- It's not bad.
- Would re-purchase.
- Use some Oreo-looking
cookies on the front
to me seems slightly misleading.
- It's definitely not.
- Those are not.
- That's definitely hardly any in there.
- No, and like good cookies
and cream has literal chunks
like a third of a cookie
of like an Oreo in there
surrounded by dense, creamy,
sweet ice cream, you know?
- Very passionate about this.
- You know what we should've done?
A rating system.
- I know, I thought of
that but now it's too late.
We're already halfway through.
- We can kind of like retroactively.
I would give this like a four.
- That's like a two.
- I would give this a two?
Not even a two.
I'd give it like a minus 15.
- Yeah, okay, I'm with you on that.
- Minus 15 for the Chufa Co.
- Get your shit together, bud.
- Like what the?
This I would give like a --
- Five?
- I was gonna say a six
because I enjoyed eating it.
- Yeah, like I went back for couple more.
- Flavor-wise, you know what?
Flavor-wise I'd give it like a seven
but the texture is not
there, so I'd give it a six.
- Yeah, break the divide there?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- So this is the Cherry Garcia
non-dairy frozen dessert.
This is made with almonds.
- Almonds.
- It's cherry with
cherries and fudge flakes.
- Neither of which I'm a
huge fan of in ice cream.
- I've never had normal Cherry Garcia.
Oh!
So this is what it looks like.
- Can you tell we have a sweet tooth?
- Non-dairy frozen dessert,
water, sugar, cherries,
coconut oil, corn syrup
solid, ground almonds,
blah, pea protein, so pea
protein and almond milk.
- I bet it's gonna be a lot smoother
'cause they're using the coconut oil
as one of the top ingredients.
- Oooh, do you see it?
Can you see it?
Can you see it?
It's nice and creamy.
- It looks like mucho creamero.
I don't know.
(laughs)
- It's really sweet.
- Texture is nearly bang-on.
You know what that tastes like?
That tastes, did your
grandparents ever make marzipan?
- I fucking love marzipan.
- What are you 80?
- No, I'm German.
- It tastes like marzipan.
- Marzipan is delicious.
- Marzipan.
- That's how you pronounce it in Europe.
- I want some marzipan.
(laughs)
- Whatever I like it.
It's way too sweet.
So they've like really
overcompensated with the corn syrup.
Texture's pretty good.
- The texture's the best
one out of all these so far.
Weirdly in between being frozen
but then almost too melty,
so I'm going with Rice Dream.
And we're just going
with plain old vanill.
- So it's --
- Oh, yeah, right.
Ingredients water,
organic brown rice syrup,
she's gone be a sweet one.
Organic agave syrup,
organic rice maltodextrin,
organic sunflower oil,
and/or organic canola oil.
What are you just like maybe or maybe not?
- Maybe we included it
this time, maybe we didn't.
- Maybe we have peanuts
in it, maybe we don't.
- It's different when
it's like may contain
because I get it it's in the facility,
but and/or is like maybe
we added it this time, maybe we didn't.
Branding is like they're
really selling it.
Indulge yourself with the smooth
creamy taste of Rice Dream
trademark frozen desserts.
- It reminds me of like an
80s ad for like a cruise ship.
- Also, it says we've combined
carefully selected ingredients.
Well not carefully if you don't know.
- And/or it's like carefully
selected but we're not sure.
- What?
(gags)
- Nope.
- Why does it taste like dry pasta smells?
- You know like if you
drop your phone in water
and then you put in
rice for like five days
and then you tuck the rice away,
and then you open up and you smell it?
That's what that tastes like.
It tastes like that smell.
- The aftertaste is that smell.
The Chufa was way worse.
- I didn't spit out the Chufa.
That's terrible,
That is God awful.
- So how dare you market this to people
that don't know that vegan food is good?
If you were non-vegan and
you were like I'm going
to do something good for the environment
and you bought this, you'd
never eat vegan food again.
- No, I would go drink gravy.
- That's really specific.
And now we're left with the cashew base
the So Delicious dairy-free
simply vanilla cashew
non-dairy frozen dessert,
gluten-free, non GMO.
- These ones are good.
The salted caramel cluster that we've had
from this company before is legit I think.
I get my brands mixed up sometimes.
- Oh, oh, ooh bitch yes.
Oh, let's see that creaminess.
Yeah, honey.
- Yeah.
- 10 out of 10.
10 out of mother effin' 10.
- So Delicious.
- It's so delicious.
(laughs)
- Day five in quarantine.
Please send help.
- Captain's log, I've been stuck
with this woman for five days.
- We have plowed through one of these
in like 30 minutes watching a movie.
- I will not buy any other.
- It is the best out of any plant-based
like non-diary ice cream,
this one every single flavor
that I've tried is --
- As long as it's the cashew one.
They have like coconut and almond milk.
- Yeah, the cashew's like the creaminess.
Go with that.
- Everything's just, it's there.
- It's goddamn fantastic.
- That is our ice cream
taste test part one of two.
