Pressed freezes, a non-dairy, vegan alternative to ice cream, have recently become popular due to TikTok. And rightfully so. These freezes are delicious and allow you to have a healthy, sweet treat. I tried three fan-favorite sundaes at the location in Larkspur Landing and ranked them from best to worst based on flavor.
#1: Chocolate Peppermint Sundae Freeze
Ranking at number one is the Chocolate Peppermint Sundae Freeze. This vegan masterpiece features a chocolate base made from creamy coconut milk, agave syrup and cacao powder. This treat is topped with peppermint candy, chocolate drizzle and fluffy marshmallows. The peppermints give the sundae a nice crunch and pair perfectly with the vegan marshmallows. This was the clear number one because of the creamy chocolate base. The chocolate tasted just like a soft serve you would get on a beach boardwalk. This seasonal special is popular, so get it before it sells out!
#2: S’mores Sundae Freeze
Coming in second place was the S’mores Sundae Freeze. If the peppermint one sells out, you will not be disappointed with this option. This freeze has a silky vanilla base made with almond milk, dates, vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt. To make the freeze truly a s’mores freeze, it was topped with vegan chocolate chips and a creamy drizzle of almond butter that perfectly complimented the chocolate chips. While this one was delicious, it lacked the crunch a s’more should have, putting it in second place. The S’mores Sundae Freeze has the potential to be in first, but for that, I would recommend adding a chocolate chip cookie crumble.
#3: Tropical Sundae Freeze
Coming in third is the Tropical Sundae Freeze. This sweet treat has a creamy and cold tropical protein freeze base, which is delightful and refreshing. The toppings include fresh mango, strawberries and coconut, making the perfect refreshing combination and transporting me to summer. But, while the base was tangy, the fruit was not ripe, making this end up in last place. However, this freeze has the opportunity to be better, as getting it during the summertime is best for optimal enjoyment. If you’re willing to wait for this treat, it won’t disappoint!
With four bases and an array of toppings to choose from, Pressed Freezes has something for everyone. They won’t disappoint, so make sure to try out this delicious yet healthy treat!
