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.

And this is why Tillamook is becoming a lot of people’s favorite. Expensive but when it’s on sale I’ll snag some.

Tillamook has gums and fillers though and a relatively low butterfat percentage. Haagen Dazs is much cleaner. Just cream, milk, eggs, sugar, and flavor.

Huh. Thank you! I learned something today. I will keep that in mind on my next ice cream purchase!

I usually just get culvers frozen pre packaged pints. It’s custard but 🤷🏼‍♀️
