The plant-based frozen desserts were introduced just in time for National Ice Cream Day and delighted sweet-toothed consumers with classic flavors like Chocolate. Lidl's new non-dairy ice cream range comes in pints that boast similar packaging to [Ben & Jerry's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ben-jerrys-chocolate-caramel-brownie-nondairy), as well as flavors like [Cookie Dough](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitkat-cookie-dough). While a great number of consumers are now becoming more open-minded about plant-based eating in general, vegan-friendly desserts have the potential to win over people of all ages by providing a better-for-you take on a beloved treat that's free from dairy. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Plant-based Desserts:** Creating dairy-free desserts that are flavorful and appealing to a wide range of consumers. - **Non-dairy Ice Cream:** Developing ice cream alternatives that use coconut milk or other plant-based ingredients as a dairy-free option. - **Packaging Innovation:** Designing packaging for non-dairy ice cream that mimics popular dairy ice cream brands to attract consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Manufacturing and marketing plant-based dessert options to cater to the increasing demand for dairy-free products. - **Frozen Desserts:** Expanding the market for non-dairy ice cream by introducing new flavors and appealing to consumers with dietary restrictions or preferences. - **Packaging Design:** Providing innovative packaging solutions for non-dairy ice cream products that effectively communicate their quality and appeal to consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Flavorful Almond-Based Frozen Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dairyfree-frozen-dessert-pints.md) - [Almond-Base Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/almondbase-ice-creams.md) - [Vegan-Friendly Frozen Dessert Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-cream-range.md) - [Dairy-Like Frozen Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/so-delicious-wondermilk.md) - [Chocolate Almondmilk Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-based-frozen-dessert.md) - [Legume-Based Frozen Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-kitchen-plant-based-ice-cream.md) - [Vegan-Friendly Frozen Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-dairy-free-decadence-series.md) - [Legume-Based Ice Cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-kitchen-ice-cream.md) - [Coconut-Based Vegan Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yee-kwan.md)
