Favorite Day Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert Reviews (formerly Archer Farms) (2024)

Updated September 2022! In late 2018, I reported on the store brands of dairy-free ice cream that were popping up. Honestly, I didn’t want to get my hopes up that they would stick around, but most are holding strong, including Target’s line. In fact, they just updated and rebranded their entire selection. Archer Farms Non-Dairy has now become Favorite Day Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert! Don’t worry, the product itself really hasn’t changed, but the look and the price have with this value-oriented brand.

Favorite Day Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert adds Dairy-Free Value to Target

Their initial Archer Farms launch included seven flavors, and those same varieties are still available under the new brand. Favorite Day Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert pints come in classic vanilla bean plus six more flavors that are generously stocked with gluten-free add-ins, like cake, cookie down, brownies, caramel, and fudge swirls. This sweet, indulgent, plant-based ice cream is loaded with dessert intentions and made with a lightly creamy almondmilk base.
