The indulgent New York-style vegan cheesecake is sold frozen and can be enjoyed after it is thawed enough to slice through. The newly launched line of plant-based products from President’s Choice also includes meatless burgers, cashew-based dips, chicken-free cutlets and more. Plant-based desserts have the potential to appeal to anyone with a sweet tooth and still provide a gateway to healthier eating. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Plant-based Eating:** Opportunity to develop innovative plant-based food products with a focus on desserts using alternative ingredients. - **Vegan Cheesecakes:** Potential for creating a range of delicious vegan cheesecakes using unconventional ingredients like white beans. - **Frozen Plant-based Desserts:** Opportunity to capitalize on the demand for convenient and indulgent frozen plant-based desserts, such as vegan cheesecakes. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the food manufacturing industry include developing and producing a wide variety of plant-based products. - **Dessert Industry:** Opportunity to introduce innovative vegan dessert options, specifically targeting the cheesecake market. - **Frozen Food Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the frozen food industry arise from the development of high-quality and indulgent frozen plant-based desserts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Indulgent Free-From Cheesecakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-zillionaire.md) - [Plant-Based Cream Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-cream-cheese-1.md) - [Legume-Based Frozen Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-kitchen-plant-based-ice-cream.md) - [Plant-Based Dessert Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-de-creme.md) - [Plant Milk-Based Cheese Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vevan-uncreamcheese.md) - [Luscious Vegan Cheesecakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-based-dessert-cheesecake.md) - [Bean-Based Frozen Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-kitchen-plantbased-frozen-desserts.md) - [Vegan-Friendly Dessert Bases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comprital-pure-vegan.md) - [Crowd-Pleasing Non-Dairy Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-cheezecake.md)
