These decadent, plant-powered desserts include reformulated favorites such as the English Cheesecake Company’s classic dairy Double Chocolate Cookies & Cream and Smooth Vanilla with Lotus Biscoff cheesecake, which now feature vegan-friendly, dairy-free alternative ingredients from Violife. Thanks to this reformulation, the brands claim that these plant-based desserts are even "more irresistible than ever with Violife’s Creamy Original." In partnership with Violife, the English Cheesecake Company is also introducing "next-level" sundaes. These Salted Caramel Cheesecake Sundaes are not just plant-based but add variety to the company's product portfolio, along with new ways for people to indulge in a better-for-you way. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 12% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Plant-based Desserts:** There is an opportunity for companies to innovate and reformulate classic desserts, such as cheesecake, using plant-based alternatives to meet the growing demand for vegan-friendly products. - **Collaborative Product Development:** Collaborating with companies that specialize in plant-based alternatives, such as Violife, can help traditional dessert companies to expand their product offerings and cater to new markets. - **Better-for-you Indulgence:** There is an opportunity for companies to create indulgent desserts that are better for you by using plant-powered ingredients and offering new varieties of products like the Salted Caramel Cheesecake Sundaes. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Dessert:** Traditional dessert companies can expand product lines and develop innovative, plant-powered options to tap into the growing demand for vegan-friendly products. - **Plant-based Alternatives:** Companies specializing in plant-based alternatives, such as Violife, can collaborate with traditional dessert companies to create new products and expand into new markets. - **Specialty Food:** Specialty food companies can focus on developing plant-based, vegan-friendly options for classic desserts such as cheesecake, to cater to the growing demand for plant-based alternatives. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cooking-Ready Vegan Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-cheese-products.md) - [Guilt-Free Vegan Cheesecakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/culiraw.md) - [Soy-Free Vegan Soft Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-rond-camembert.md) - [Camembert-Inspired Vegan Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/violife-le-rond-camembert-flavour.md) - [Frozen Artisanal Cheesecake Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-english-cheesecake-company.md) - [Icy Cheesecake Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-cheesecake-products.md) - [Indulgent Free-From Cheesecakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-zillionaire.md) - [Mature Alt Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/violife-cheddarton.md) - [Coconut Oil Cream Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-cream-cheeses.md)
