Lentil-Based Chocolate Mousse From Herman Desserts Joins Vegan Dessert Line-Up at SIAL Paris

Herman Desserts, a Belgian dessert manufacturer, is introducing a lentil-based chocolate mousse at SIAL Paris, a plant-based dessert offering that differs from the commonly used coconut base in vegan desserts. The mousse is made with lentil protein, flaxseed fibre, and pea protein, and is marketed as lactose-free, carrying V-Label certification. The company also offers allergen-free options for private label customers, catering to the growing demand for vegan options in the market.

Food N’Joy, another Belgian-based company, offers a vegan and gluten-free range of pastry products for foodservice clients, including sweet verrines, plated desserts, and mousse in piping bags for professional kitchens. On the other hand, German confectionery group Zentis is launching Vegan Balls, coated almond snacks in two flavors, while Dutch spread producer Brinkers Food is showcasing organic, Fairtrade, and palm oil-free vegan chocolate spreads under its So Vegan So Fine and La Vida Vegan brands. These companies are tapping into the trend of vegan desserts and snacks at SIAL Paris to cater to the increasing demand for plant-based products in the industry.
