Fresh Del Monte Introduces New Line of Fruit-Based Dessert Pudding Cups for Health-Conscious Consumers

Del Monte® Dessert Pudding Cups offer a sweet and nutritious twist on classic desserts, featuring fresh fruit, pudding, and a variety of toppings for on-the-go enjoyment.

Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc., a leader in producing high-quality fresh fruits and vegetables worldwide, is introducing its newest product: Del Monte® Dessert Pudding Cups. This innovative line of single-serving desserts is designed to provide a convenient way for consumers to enjoy a sweet treat with a nutritious twist. The product ships to supermarkets, convenience stores, and other retail outlets across North America today.

Del Monte® Dessert Pudding Cups are a combination of real, fresh-cut fruit paired with chocolate or vanilla pudding and topped with a whipped garnish. The single-serving, 5.5-ounce cups are also adorned with additional sweet toppings like granola, graham crackers, chocolate chips, and cinnamon streusel to enhance the flavor.

The dessert is available in four unique flavors inspired by bakery treats: Pineapple Streusel, Chocolate Berry Truffle, Mango Mix, and Apple Crisp. Each serving provides an indulgent taste while containing two ounces of real fruit, making it an attractive choice for those looking for on-the-go sweet snacks or after-meal enjoyment.

The U.S. dessert market currently stands at over $100 billion and is projected to grow at a compound annual rate of 6% through 2030. As consumer preferences shift towards more health-conscious options, demand has surged for desserts that balance indulgence with nutritious benefits.

North America holds the largest global market share for healthy, low-fat desserts, and there’s a notable uptick in demand for low-calorie and sugar-free options. Del Monte® Dessert Pudding Cups align with this trend by offering a sweet, healthier alternative that incorporates fresh fruit without compromising flavor.

These new pudding cups represent Fresh Del Monte’s continued efforts to deliver products that encourage increased fruit and vegetable consumption. Despite the growing focus on healthy eating, research shows that American fruit and vegetable intake remains significantly below CDC recommendations.

Only about 1 in 10 adults in the U.S. meet the advised daily intake of 1.5-2 cup-equivalents of fruits and 2-3 cup-equivalents of vegetables. While Del Monte® Dessert Pudding Cups are meant to be a complementary treat and not a substitute for the complete recommended servings, they offer an easy way to add an extra two ounces of fruit to one’s diet, satisfying sweet cravings while providing a source of fresh produce.
