I struggled to find a [vegan frozen dessert](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/over-the-moo1) that I liked. I wanted to have a frozen dessert that was rich, luscious and creamy. I wanted this dessert to taste like the first scoop of French ice cream I tried in Paris." This texture-rich plant-based treat is crunchy on the top and creamy on the bottom, and ready to be savored in varieties like toffee crunch, espresso brownie, milk chocolate and golden milk. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 26% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Hybrid Desserts:** Merging elements from different traditional desserts, such as crème brûlée and ice cream, creates new sensory experiences for consumers. - **Oat Milk Innovation:** Utilizing oat milk as a base for decadent desserts demonstrates its versatility beyond beverages. - **Date-sweetened Treats:** Employing dates as a natural sweetener offers a health-conscious alternative to refined sugar in dessert making. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Vegan Food Products:** Developing indulgent dairy-free desserts caters to a growing demand for plant-based dietary options. - **Alternative Sweeteners:** The use of natural sweeteners like dates aligns with consumer preferences for healthy and nutritious ingredients. - **Frozen Dessert Sector:** Innovative plant-based frozen treats can attract those seeking novel and gourmet dessert experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Legume-Based Frozen Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-kitchen-plant-based-ice-cream.md) - [Chocolate Almondmilk Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-based-frozen-dessert.md) - [Plant-Based Dessert Jars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-dessert-jar.md) - [Oat Milk-Based Vegan Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-frozen-dessert-line.md) - [Vegan-Friendly Dessert Bases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comprital-pure-vegan.md) - [Mini Plant-Powered Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-powered-dessert.md) - [Free-From NYC Frozen Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-dessert-lab.md) - [Savory Veggie Croquettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croqcoulis.md) - [Non-Dairy Ice Cream Novelties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eclipse-bonbons.md)
