Los Angeles — After narrowing down the field to six finalists, PETA has named the best vegan frozen dessert in America. The Brownie Sundae—a raw or vegan brownie with three scoops of Icekreme topped with raw chocolate or caramel syrup and a topping of your choice—from Los Angeles' KindKreme has grabbed the number-one spot in the nation. The contest was held to mark National Ice Cream Month. In addition to its unique frozen desserts, KindKreme offers other delicious vegan and organic desserts, creamy shakes, fresh juices, cold-pressed coffees, daily soups and sandwiches, and more.
"KindKreme proves every day that you don't have to use unhealthy and cruelly produced dairy products to create decadently delicious frozen desserts," says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. "The only things missing in vegan ice cream are the artery-clogging cholesterol and animal suffering that go into every scoop of ice cream made from cow's milk."
First runner-up in the contest was the Tsoynami from Green New American Vegetarian in Tempe, Ariz. The Tsoynami is a soy-based, soft-serve creation made with top-quality candy, cereal, and fruit. Placing third was the classic banana split from New York City's Lula's Sweet Apothecary. It's made with three scoops of creamy soft-serve, three sauces, and one topping and finished up with nondairy whipped cream and a cherry. Rounding out the top six were the strawberry shortcake from Karma Cream in Gainesville, Fla.; the thick and creamy nondairy milkshakes from the Chicago Diner in Chicago; and all varieties of vegan fro-yo from The Skinny Dip in Hampton Roads, Va.
KindKreme and the two runners-up will receive framed certificates to display in their restaurants.
