Alright, well, I have been a vegetarian for a few years now. I want to go vegan, but I'm so godd*mn picky, that I won't because...I CAN'T FIND ANY GOOD SWEET FOOD SUBSTITUTES. [Ice cream, chocolate, etc.]
I've seriously tried and wasted money on so many different kinds of vegan ice cream, they all taste like soy or tofu!

[Seriously, the only way I have soy milk is in a milkshake, or really sweet cereal like fruit loops so it won't taste like soy milk]
Anyone know of anything that tastes just as good?

I use to be lactose intolerant, and I'm a dairy freak. The best ice cream, in my opinion, was the brand, Rice Dream.

There are a ton of different non-dairy milks besides soy, if you don't like that. Personally, besides soy milk, I like hemp milk, oat milk and almond milk. They have each in vanilla varieties or plain, also chocolate for a lot of them. Chocolate hemp milk is delicious as well as almond. For sweets in general, try getting a vegan cookbook and testing out recipes and seeing what you like and don't like. There are a million different ways to substitute sugars and eggs and milks that can be tasty. Well, I'd say to most :]

P.S. I've been a vegan for almost two years now.

Hey, I've been a vegan for most of my life. I love the So Delicious Dairy Free ice creams, maybe you'd like those if you haven't tried them. I bought delicious dairy free chocolate online, tastes just like normal chocolate. So far I've found all substitutes either online or at my grocery store. I have a vegan store so it's easier for me I guess.

I also love the So Delicious Dairy Free ice creams, and being a vegan I think these are the best choices out there. I love the peanut butter zig zag flavor, chocolate obsession, turtle trails, vanilla, and plain chocolate are good too. Whole Foods and Henry's sell them and if you live near a Trader Joe's they sell their own brand of dairy free soy ice creams that are similar in flavor and cheaper too, and just as tasty.
