Revolution Gelato shook up the stagnant frozen pie category when it introduced its seasonal Turtle and Seasonal Pumpkin gelato pie flavors for the fall. The first-to-market Turtle Gelato Pie and Seasonal Pumpkin Gelato Pie flavors are decadent plant-based desserts that offer a fun way for families to celebrate without dairy. As founder Jared Olkin says, "We recognized a gap in the market for clean-ingredient, plant-based, shareable frozen desserts. Nobody else is doing this."
With a vegan graham cracker crust and a creamy plant-based gelato interior filling, these plant-based desserts reinvent seasonal staples that promise to be enjoyed at the Thanksgiving table and beyond.
Revolution Gelato's Plant-Based Pumpkin Pie Gelato took home the title of Best New Sweet or Dessert in the NEXTY Awards at the 2022 Natural Products Expo East.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Plant-based Frozen Pies
- The rise of plant-based diets presents opportunities for frozen pie companies to tap into a growing demand for dairy-free and vegan desserts.
- Seasonal Desserts
- The introduction of seasonal flavors can refresh a stagnant frozen dessert category and create excitement among consumers.
- Clean-ingredient Frozen Desserts
- Consumers are increasingly concerned about the ingredients in their food and are seeking out healthier options, creating opportunities for companies to innovate with clean and simple ingredient lists.
Sectors Adopting This
