The classic Fudge, Minty and Berry varieties offered by the brand were created to bring the decadence back to frozen novelties but without the dairy. AsFudgyPop co-founder Nicole Cardone told [VegNews](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-troop), "When looking back at the nostalgia of Fudgesicles we enjoyed as kids, we realized they weren’t as fudgy as we remembered, they were actually kind of icy—not to mention an ingredient list that didn’t adhere to our grown-up sensibilities." The creation of dairy-free versions of nostalgic desserts reflects the growing number of consumers who are exploring plant-based eating and their desire for healthier, more sustainable food options. Consumers are not willing to compromise when it comes to taste and texture when it comes to their favorite desserts, and FudgyPop succeeds by replacing dairy with [rich coconut cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-coconut-collab) and Dutch cocoa. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 15% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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 - **Dairy-free Desserts:** FudgyPop's dairy-free fudge pops reflect a growing trend of consumers exploring plant-based eating and opting for healthier, more sustainable food options. - **Nostalgia Foods:** The creation of dairy-free versions of nostalgic desserts by FudgyPop taps into a trend of consumers seeking comfort foods from their childhood, but with modern twists. - **Innovative Frozen Treats:** FudgyPop's use of rich coconut cream instead of dairy in their fudge pops demonstrates an opportunity for the frozen treats industry to create new and exciting products using alternative ingredients. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Plant-based Foods:** The dairy-free trend in FudgyPop's fudge pops highlights opportunities for the plant-based foods industry to develop and market more delicious and innovative dairy alternatives. - **Frozen Desserts:** FudgyPop's innovative use of coconut cream in their fudge pops reflects potential for the frozen desserts industry to create more unique and healthy products that cater to consumers' changing dietary preferences. - **Sustainable Food Solutions:** FudgyPop's use of coconut cream, a sustainable food ingredient, in their fudge pops points to an opportunity for the food industry to integrate more sustainable options in their product offerings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Free-From Dessert Squares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fudge-n-vanilla-squares.md) - [Plant-Based Frozen Dessert Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-dessert-bars.md) - [Dessert-Inspired Ice Cream Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dairy-ice-cream-bars.md) - [Chocolate-Coated Free-From Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-pops-crunch.md) - [Creamy Milk-Free Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milk-free-chocolate.md) - [Plant-Based Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pols-ice-cream.md) - [Organic Gelato Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelato-pops.md) - [Dairy-Free Frozen Cones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dairyfree-ice-cream-cones.md) - [Dairy-Free Mini Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indulgent-bites.md)
