# Vegan Dairy Frozen Desserts Perfect Indulgence Vegan Frozen Desserts Use Animal-Free Dairy Protein By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2020-11-19 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-frozen-desserts References: [foodbusinessnews.net](https://www.foodbusinessnews.net/articles/17311-graeters-launches-line-of-animal-free-dairy-desserts) & [graeters](https://www.graeters.com/) [Graeter’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graeters-ice-cream) Ice Cream is introducing its first line of [vegan frozen desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/over-the-moo1), dubbed Perfect Indulgence, thanks to the fact that the products feature Perfect [Day's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brave-robot-x-coolhaus) animal-free dairy protein. Perfect Dairy uses lactose-free whey and casein dairy proteins—made without cows—and a fermentation process that helps to deliver the taste, texture and look of traditional dairy products. As Richard Graeter, president and CEO of Graeter's Ice Cream, says: "Until now, we couldn't put our name on a vegan product because it simply did not live up to our standards. But now, with Perfect Day, we can." The Perfect Indulgence line is being introduced with six traditional Graeter’s flavors, such as Cookies & Cream, Oregon Strawberry and Chocolate and Chocolate Chip. In the future, the brand has plans to expand the frozen dessert range with other popular varieties like Madagascar Vanilla Bean.
