# Vegan Mochi Ice Creams The Little Moons Vegan Belgian Chocolate Mochi is Distinctly Chewy By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2019-02-05 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-mochi References: [foodbev](https://www.foodbev.com/news/little-moons-boosts-mochi-line-with-vegan-chocolate-variant/) & [littlemoons](https://www.littlemoons.co.uk) The Little Moons Vegan Belgian Chocolate Mochi has been unveiled by the Britain-based ice cream company to offer consumers a dairy-free way to enjoy the classic taste of the frozen dessert. The product is made with balls of vegan Belgian chocolate that has been covered in a layer of mochi before being dusted with cocoa powder. The small mochi-covered ice cream balls are just 64 calories each and are free from artificial flavorings, preservatives, colors and even gluten to make them suitable for consumers who practice free-from diets. The Little Moons Vegan Belgian Chocolate Mochi ice cream comes in boxes with six servings in total and can be purchased from [Ocado](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/readytoeat-vegan-cookies) and [Selfridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanot-caramel-crunch). The vegan ice cream product joins the brand's extensive lineup of premium mochi desserts with an artisan twist. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Dairy-free Ice Cream:** Potential disruptive innovation opportunities include the development of more dairy-free ice cream flavors and textures. - **Vegan Desserts:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation lie in creating a wider range of vegan desserts to cater to the growing demand. - **Free-from Diets:** Disruptive innovation could involve the creation of products that cater to specific dietary restrictions, such as gluten-free, sugar-free, and allergen-free options. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Frozen Desserts:** There is potential for disruptive innovation in the frozen dessert industry by creating unique and innovative products like vegan mochi ice creams. - **Plant-based Foods:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation can be found in the plant-based foods industry by developing new and exciting vegan dessert options. - **Specialty Food Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunities exist in the specialty food retail sector by offering a variety of free-from options, including dairy-free and vegan products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sorbet-Packed Mochi Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sorbet-mochi-balls.md) - [Celebratory Vegan Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanot-caramel-crunch.md) - [Oat Milk Mochi Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oat-milk-mochi-dessert.md) - [Plant-Based Ice Cream Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/over-the-moo-ice-cream-bites.md) - [Plant-Based Mochi Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passionfruit-mochi-ice-cream.md) - [Buttery Mochi Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-moons-brown-butter-caramel.md) - [Roasted Coffee Mochi Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-moons-iced-latte-coffee.md) - [Citrusy Sorbet Mochis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sorbet-mochi.md) - [Frozen Cinnamon Bun Mochi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-bun-mochi.md)
