The vegan ice creams whose #1 ingredient is water, not fat.

And, in general, this trend where companies confuse veganism with "I'm on a diet looking for low calorie options" or "gluten free"

Then its not iced cream, it is a sorbet. You cant have iced cream without cream.

Im talking abiut ice cream, not sorbet. It has cream, its just watered down so it has less calories.

Ingredients are ordered by quantity. So if the first ingredient is water and the second ingredient is coconut cream, then it has more water than cream.

I mean more water than cream still makes a sorbet.

Ive never seen iced cream with water as an ingredient.

Whays the point in lying about what ya are selling.

Look at the ice creams that are marketed as low calorie.

I dont like watereed down ice cream any more than I like watered down whisky, which is why I posted it. But it is still, in fact, ice cream.
