Amy's Celebrates 25 Years with a Sweet Dream Come True!
Meet Amy’s Hottest New Frozen Treat: Organic Vegan Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert
Santa Rosa, California – Amy's, the nation's top-selling brand of natural and organic convenience
foods now celebrating its 25th anniversary, is launching a brand new frozen food category, Amy’s
Organic Non-Dairy Frozen Desserts. Amy’s has found a way to make a frozen, certified vegan
dessert that has the luscious, velvety texture and flavor of super-premium dairy ice cream but
none of the milk or eggs in its ingredients.
All four new flavors – dark Chocolate, creamy Vanilla with
real vanilla bean, refreshing Mint Chocolate Chip and rich
Mocha Chocolate Chip – are made with healthful,
cholesterol-free organic coconut milk. Amy’s proprietary
technique combined with high-quality, organic ingredients,
keeps the coconut flavor in the background, resulting in a
sumptuous frozen creation that will fool even traditional
dairy ice cream fans.
“We are so excited to bring this vegan-certified treat to our
customers that we can’t stop smiling,” says company cofounder Rachel Berliner (Amy's mom). “We know our fans
will be pleased with this playful indulgence we've made for
them.” The fun begins at retailers nationally in July 2013.
Amy's Non-Dairy Frozen Desserts (SRP: $6.99/pint) will be ready for retail purchase just in time
for the warmest days of summer and early fall. Made with organic coconut milk and sweetened
with agave syrup, the new desserts are vegan certified, organic, non-GMO, non-dairy, gluten
free, and Kosher Pareve. The new line is made with the same care, quality and love for which
Amy's foods are known.
What inspired Amy's to make a non-dairy frozen dessert? Amy’s cousin Anna tried an
extraordinary non-dairy frozen dessert at a vegan restaurant called Plant in North Carolina. Anna's
husband, a conventional ice cream fan, couldn't believe the dessert was non-dairy. The two were
so blown away by the recipe that they enlisted Amy's to bring this amazing dessert discovery to a
wider audience. Thanks to Plant, Amy's now has four remarkable non-dairy desserts.
Amy's non-dairy frozen dessert makes a great complement to Amy's other frozen offerings. Try
scooping this creamy new treat over Amy's Organic Gluten Free Brownies or Amy’s Organic Apple
Pie. Or sandwich it between slices of Amy’s Organic Gluten Free Non Dairy Chocolate Cake for the
ultimate vegan frozen dessert sammie. Just for fun, try scooping it into cones at a party and see
who you can fool into thinking it's regular ice cream!
