Hi all, after confirming with Nestle (Canada) that the Aero Mousse Chocolate Cone IS indeed gluten-free, I had one last night!!! :wub:

WOW!!! What a load of chocolate! I even risked my lactose intolerance, and actually did NOT have a reaction!

The ice cream is light and VERY creamy, and the chocolate cone is RICH!!! I had to let my hubby Ron finish the last bite! I would have been okay if I'd thought to make myself a cup of coffee to go with it! :lol:

According to Nestle, the Turtle Bar and Rolo Bar are also gluten-free. I have the link to their New Products page here: Nestle New Products it doesn't list gluten-free on the products, but a quick phone call was all it took to confirm.

Enjoy everyone!

I know Tiffany :unsure:

, however if your dairy problem is Lactose, you may not find these too bad!

I had some gluten-free Shortbread cookies last week, made with butter, two cookies had me with gassy gurgle guts! :angry:

I fully expected the same when I CHOSE to eat the Aero Cone, but to my VERY pleasant surprise, I did not have a single grumble!!!

Maybe it was just lucky, but I'm willing to try them again, this time with a cup of fresh brewed black coffee! :rolleyes:

unfortunately, it's the casein. :-( I miss dairy more than wheat. :-/

Hi Tiffany,

Ditto here, I can't tolerate casein either. I sure do miss ice cream! Oh well. I try to find other foods that I consider treats. I love raspberries and make them into a smoothie with soy milk and rice protein powder. I add ice to make it thick. We have a gluten free bakery in San Francisco that makes good chocolate brownies and other goodies. If I'm desperate I go to the Whole Foods near me in San Jose and get some. :lol:

Sincerely,
June

I wonder if gluten-free in Canada is the same as US? I've heard it's not...does that mean I should call Nestle to see if the USA products are safe?

Soy Delicious does make a very good chocolate non-dairy frozen soy dessert (gotta love the descriptor!) that is Gluten-free Casein-free that Trader Joe's carries. (I don't have it often since I'm struggling to lose the 6-8lbs I put back on this year (that I didn't need).)
