Waxman](https://time.com/author/olivia-b-waxman/)  ## Olivia B. Waxman Staff Writer Feb 3, 2016 2:15 PM UTC Ben & Jerry’s [first vegan ice cream pints](http://time.com/3923818/ben-jerrys-non-dairy-ice-cream-flavors/) will land in stores starting in mid-February. The Vermont-based ice cream maker is offering almond milk-based versions of top-selling flavors Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Chunky Monkey. Two offerings will be exclusive to the vegan line, Coffee Caramel Fudge and a peanut butter one called “P.B. & Cookies.” Here’s a brief description of the new items: * Chocolate Fudge Brownie: chocolate with fudge brownies * Chunky Monkey: banana with fudge chunks & walnuts * Coffee Caramel Fudge: coffee with fudge chunks & caramel swirl * P.B. & Cookies: vanilla with chocolate sandwich cookies These non-dairy creations have been two-and-a-half years in the making and are partly a response to a 2014 [Change.org petition](https://www.change.org/p/tell-ben-jerry-s-you-want-non-dairy-ice-cream-options) that racked up more than 28,000 signatures, including one from the current U.S. Senator from New Jersey Cory Booker. > [](https://twitter.com/corybooker/status/536584794847457281) The vegan versions of Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Chunky Monkey only save you about 40-50 calories, but the company wasn’t thinking about cutting back when they developed this line. “As much as Ben and Jerry’s customers say, ‘We want something healthy,’ the dollar really speaks,” says Kirsten Schimoler, principal food scientist for Ben and Jerry’s. Her focus was on making the chunks taste as “indulgent” as possible. “That’s what Ben and Jerry’s is really known for. You want to sit on your couch with a pint of ice cream and dig out those huge pieces of cookies and chase the peanut butter swirls.” Not lactose-intolerant or vegan, but curious to see what the ice cream tastes like? You’ll probably like the peanut butter one the best. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4200670/ben-jerrys-vegan-ice-cream-stores-february/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4200670/ben-jerrys-vegan-ice-cream-stores-february/"},"headline":"Ben & Jerry's Is Making Vegan Ice Cream and You Can Try It Soon","datePublished":"2016-02-03T14:15:04.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:29:29.462Z","description":"Here's the scoop on the new flavors","url":"https://time.com/4200670/ben-jerrys-vegan-ice-cream-stores-february/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf504554d2b8add3d/69887b502dce0144b59e794c/ben-jerrys-non-dairy-ice-cream.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
