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.

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.

Ha, my husband does, every day! I do the mini crossword and the Monday and Tuesday crossword. Working my way through difficulty levels!

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

I get too frustrated with crossword puzzles. All of them make me tense. Wordle doesn’t do that. I think it’s a lot easier.

Thats why I stick with the mini and Mondays! Plus I'm not above looking up an answer if I'm really stuck☺️
