The vegan counterpart has vanilla almond milk non-dairy frozen dessert as the base, with fudge-covered waffle cone pieces and a caramel swirl throughout. 

All sale proceeds from Americone Dream and Americone Dream Non-Dairy flavors go toward The Stephen Colbert AmeriCone Dream Fund.

The fund supports charities of concern to Colbert, such as food and medical assistance for disadvantaged children, helping veterans and their families as well as environmental causes.
