# Plant-Based Gelato Pies Revolution Gelato's Mini Gelato Pie is a Creamy, Crunchy Dessert By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2020-10-13 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelato-pie References: [nextyawards](https://www.nextyawards.com/en/winners/2020-winners.html) & [revolutiongelato](https://www.revolutiongelato.com/buy) [Revolution Gelato's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelato-pies) Mini Gelato Pie created a first-of-its-kind plant-based dessert with a rich [cookie crust](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-summer-pie-series) and a creamy organic gelato filling that's all wrapped in a coating of organic, fair trade dark chocolate. The decadent plant-powered treat is offered in a variety of flavors, including Mega Mint and Classic Vanilla, as well as varieties like Mocha Madness and Triple Chocolate that chocolate lovers will adore. These pies offer a decadent way for plant-based eaters to indulge, especially as many pies are made with cream-based fillings and traditional gelato often contains milk or cream as a key ingredient.
