Halo Top® Unveils New Dairy-Free Recipe for Plant-Based Dessert Lovers

LE MARS, Iowa, Aug. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Plant-based dessert fans, prepare to love Halo Top's Dairy-Free lineup even more than before! Halo Top is introducing a new and improved dairy-free recipe for the light ice cream maker's non-dairy flavors. The new recipe delivers a smooth and creamy texture and flavor-forward taste – with lower calories than traditional ice cream – in all seven existing dairy-free flavors including Birthday Cake, Candy Bar, Chocolate, Chocolate Almond Crunch, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Peanut Butter Cup, and Sea Salt Caramel.

Whether fans are living a plant-based wellness lifestyle by choice or avoiding dairy due to dietary restrictions, Halo Top's Dairy-Free series (SRP: $5.49/pint) starts with a coconut milk base and now contains fava bean protein, which provides a soft texture and creamy taste, allowing each individual flavor to shine.

"As a leader in the better-for-you category, Halo Top is always looking for new ways to innovate and bring forward quality products our consumers will love," said Shilpa Gadhok, senior brand manager, Halo Top. "With our Dairy-Free line, we replaced brown rice protein with fava bean protein for a creamier texture that's packed with flavor. Plant-based demand is higher than ever, and we want to provide our fans with an offering they feel great about eating — so they don't have to choose between pursuing a plant-based lifestyle and enjoying dessert."

Each new and improved Vegan Action-certified pint contains 280–360 calories and 10–20 grams of protein per serving. The Halo Top Dairy-Free lineup includes:

• Birthday Cake: This dairy-free frozen treat is a pint-sized celebration made with a birthday cake base and festive rainbow sprinkles. Calories/pint: 280, Protein/pint: 10g
