"When you're craving a snack or a little treat, there's no better place than Trader Joe's. The chain stocks a bit of everything under the sun at prices that are pretty competitive compared to the average grocery store or specialty store. That means customers can stop by for a robust selection of prepared foods, piles of produce, any of Trader Joe's affordable snacks, a bottle of wine, and then round it all off with some sweets. That said, what can you get when it comes to vegan desserts at the chain retailer?"
"I scoured the Trader Joe's website to find vegan sweets and was surprised that the list was somewhat short. I used to be vegan and remember being thoroughly overjoyed to find vegan desserts that I didn't have to make from scratch; perfect for days when you want a sugary nibble without added effort. I found eight vegan desserts from Trader Joe's and ranked them based on personal preference, taste, complexity, and texture. My full methodology will follow at the end."
"The Vanilla Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert has a coconut milk base with visible vanilla bean specks from vanilla bean paste, which is found in many desserts. This chilly treat has a mild and somewhat nondescript flavor; it also has a creamy mouthfeel with a soft serve-like consistency which isn't too firm. There's not a lot of vanilla flavor coming through, and not much of a coconut taste either. This is surprising, since coconut usually tends to be prominent."
Trader Joe's offers a wide assortment of grocery items including prepared foods, produce, snacks, wine, and sweets. The vegan dessert selection at Trader Joe's is relatively limited, comprising eight identified vegan items evaluated by preference, taste, complexity, and texture. The Vanilla Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert features a coconut milk base with visible vanilla bean specks and delivers a mild, somewhat nondescript flavor with a creamy, soft-serve-like consistency. The product lacks pronounced vanilla and coconut notes but functions effectively as a sundae base and pairs well with mix-ins such as chocolate chips or vegan cookie dough.
