While it may be the middle of winter, vegans everywhere are rejoicing over the delicious new ice cream flavors. The new dairy-free desserts from Ben & Jerry's come in four delicious flavors, which include Chunky Monkey, P.B. & Cookies, [Chocolate Fudge Brownie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brookies-cream-peaces) and Coffee Caramel Fudge. All of these flavors are based on classic Ben & Jerry's products, except for the Coffee Caramel Fudge variety, which was created specifically for dairy-free consumers. All of the ice creams are made from vegan-friendly ingredients such as almond milk and vegan brownies from New York's [Greyston Bakery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ben-jerrys-change-is-brewing). The move represents a major shift in the food industry in that mainstream brands are now expanding their offerings to compete with niche companies. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 - **Vegan-friendly Desserts:** The rise of vegan-friendly desserts presents an opportunity for companies to develop indulgent dairy-free options. - **Expansion of Mainstream Brands:** Mainstream brands branching into niche markets allows for disruptive innovation in the food industry. - **Plant-based Ingredients:** The use of plant-based ingredients in frozen desserts offers a chance for companies to capitalize on the growing demand for vegan products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Frozen Desserts:** The introduction of dairy-free ice creams creates a space for disruptive innovation in the frozen dessert industry. - **Food and Beverage:** Mainstream brands expanding into vegan-friendly options provides an opportunity for disruption in the food and beverage industry. - **Vegan Products:** The demand for indulgent vegan foods opens up avenues for innovation and disruption within the vegan products industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chocolate-Packed Dairy-Free Frozen Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ben-jerrys-chocolate-caramel-brownie-nondairy.md) - [Dairy-Free Banana Ice Cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bananas-foster.md) - [Crowd-Pleasing Non-Dairy Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-cheezecake.md) - [Decadent Vegan Frozen Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dairyfree-decadence-series.md) - [Oat-Based Frozen Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oat-based-1.md) - [Dairy-Free Frozen Dessert Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dairy-free-decadence-series.md) - [Vegan-Friendly Frozen Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-dairy-free-decadence-series.md) - [Vegan Imitation Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brave-robot.md) - [Vegan-Friendly Frozen Dessert Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-cream-range.md)
