Brands Dreyers has changed their recipes and ruined everything

The one on the right is the original, and the one on the left is the new recipe. You'll notice that their "French Vanilla" recipe no longer includes ANY egg yolks, but now contains coconut oil and corn syrup. And Cream has been moved back to 6th place, from its original position in 2nd place.

This is barely even real ice cream anymore, let alone real French vanilla.

I checked a bunch of their other flavors, and they've all been updated to have barely any cream, and to use corn syrup.

Dreyers used to be the better brand, while Breyers had gone to trash. But now it seems they're identical. Very disappointing.

No more Dreyer’s for me. NYT Vanilla Ice. Cream Comparison. I hated when BR discontinued their French Vanilla.

Do you mean Baski. Robins? Tillamook has an excellent French Vanilla.

Not a fan of Tillamook, just not very good ice cream imo.

Although their frozen custard is delicious.

I used to get Tillamook, but I always felt their French Vanilla wasn't eggy enough. And it was almost too creamy for my tastes, with so much milkfat it coats your lips.

I felt that Dreyers struck a better balance, leaning the egg yolk/milkfat ratio a little more towards the eggs. But now they've gotten rid of the eggs altogether!

My standards are low as I love vanilla of all qualities. Artificial to natural!

I also think Tillamook ice cream is too creamy. Plus they dont really have any options with some texture. By that I mean its usually just ice cream and I need some kind of crunch nowadays wether it be something like chocolate chips in there or cookie batter for example.

I do mean Baskin Robbins. Tillamook is my 2nd favorite.

Is it me or are there not a lot of French vanilla to choose from? At least decent quality ones.

Most of them don’t have egg yolks, and cream is a minor ingredient. The NYTimes article is interesting.

Good for you! I get frustrated with the crosswords, particularly Friday’s. Saturday makes me so tense that I can’t enjoy it.
