Industry’s first whipped topping made with coconut milk
Rich Products Corp., Buffalo, N.Y., launched Café Whip, what is said to be the foodservice industry’s first dairy-alternative whipped topping made with coconut milk.
“Café Whip is the first viable dairy-alternative whipped topping to be made using coconut milk, which is great news for coffee shops, bakery cafés and other foodservice operations that are looking for the next edge in beverage solutions,” says Jeff Malchoff, senior marketing manager for Rich’s foodservice division. “This is a product that came about by listening to both the customer and the consumer. We learned that operators were trying to make a whipped topping using their current coconut milk, but were not successful. As a worldwide leader in toppings and icings, Rich’s is always looking for ways to innovate and deliver products that are on-trend. With Café Whip, we believe the increased market potential is there for any foodservice operator who has a specialty beverage program.”
