It’s the news we’ve all been waiting for: in 2016, Ben & Jerry’s will make our dreams come true. Yep, you read that right: a dairy-free flavour is in the works.

Confirming this in an exclusive with Metro, the ice cream brand’s founder Jerry Greenfield says he ‘hopes this will mean a lot to all those who can’t eat dairy.’

And we can assure you, Jerry, it will!

Using coconut or almond milk for this new flavour, Ben & Jerry’s will be the first mainstream ice cream brand to offer a vegan-friendly treat. If we may, a veganised version of Cookie Dough would be very well received.
