We tasted this plant-based ice cream and can happily report it's delicious

(CNN) — You scream, I scream, we all scream for... plant-based ice cream?
Look, we know the phrase "plant-based ice cream" seems odd, but if Impossible Foods is able to create plant-based burgers that can "bleed," the idea of ice cream that uses a dairy replacement made primarily of plants should sound pretty normal by comparison.
Eclipse Foods, a startup founded Thomas Bowman and Aylon Steinhart, aims to develop a more sustainable, responsible, and humane food system.
They've created a product which is meant to replace dairy, and they've partnered with New York-based OddFellows Ice Cream Co. and San Francisco-based Humphry Slocombe to offer its version of dairy-free ice cream in stores.
That product, the founders tell CNN, is made from a mix of ancient corn, potato, cassava, oats, canola oil, cane sugar and water.
"We start with a blend of very common plants and then we process them through the same machines that run dairy," Bowman said. "We put them in vat pasteurizers, through homogenizers, heat exchangers and chilled holding tanks. Essentially, we're basically making our plant-based dairy from the things that cows eat instead of from the cows themselves."
