I've read about using xanthan gum, agar agar, and a few other things that give an even more similar consistency to 'actual' ice cream. The issue is mainly with caseine, it's the protein in mammal dairy that causes it to... I guess 'form' would be the right word... the way it does in different scenarios. It allows cheese to melt, be spreadable, ice cream to be rich and creamy withouth getting all icy... it's a magical thing and we're actually very close to being able to synthesize it.

yea i don't really care about healthy but i wasn't aware that vegan ice cream even existed tbh. i thought you guys had to eat frozen yogurt which is ok i guess but expensive and even so still not quite as good in my experience.
question though.. is there a vegan alternative to this:
