The products are sold in perfect portions, like the dairy-free, gluten-free Chocolate Mousse that comes in a set of two 70-gram serving sizes. There's also the 100-gram Chocolate Fudge Hot Pudding, which is rich, chocolatey and 100% plant-based. To keep up with growing demand, the UK-based, Black-owned dessert brand is investing in the expansion of its manufacturing capacity—which is anticipated to be boosted by 400%. In the coming weeks, new products will be launched soon, much to the delight of consumers who are seeking out plant-based, dairy-free, gluten-free and egg-free sweet treats.
