I just wrote off ice cream as something I'll never enjoy again. Haven't had it in like 2 years. This shit is fire

Haha I did the same thing when I first went vegan. That first summer I froze this terrible mash of dark chocolate, banana, and soy milk in a desperate attempt to replicate ice cream. It tasted good but was hard as a rock.

So Delicious was sort of a pioneer in the field but I think they're kind of lagging behind in terms of quality nowadays. A lot of the major brands make plant based options now but grocers usually still have a pretty limited selection. Mix in style ice creams that are very sweet and have a lot of extra stuff in them seem to be easier to replicate than single plain flavors but anything that is oat or cashew based should taste pretty good. Coconut and almond milk products freeze too hard in my opinion.

Also nowadays you can get a half decent plant based version of just about anything if you look hard enough and you can afford it.
