While most people say it’s never worth messing with perfection, numerous well-known dessert brands are coming out with new and exciting spins on classic sweet treats on an almost daily basis.
Case in point with KLIMON’s increasingly innovative product lineup, which includes a highly imaginative (and altogether tasty) twist on traditional ice cream sandwiches.
Since its launch in summer 2022, KLIMON has become one of the most talked-about dessert brands to make its way in major grocery chains’ freezer section. In contrast to most dairy companies, KLIMON specifically delivers plant-based, dairy-free frozen desserts, giving the brand its distinct name (“no milk” spelled in reverse).
While some skeptical shoppers might raise an eyebrow at the prospect of a dairy-free ice cream sandwich, the company has just won a notably impressive distinction within the larger culinary field, as reported by a recent press release from the company.
As the release mentions, KLIMON has formally won the 2026 FABI Favorite Award for Innovative Dairy-Free Ice Cream Sandwich. The award has specifically been given to the brand’s beloved Churro Chata Dairy-Free Ice Cream Sandwich, a rich and creamy dessert inspired by cinnamon-dusted churros and nutty horchata.
“The Food and Beverage Awards highlight the creativity and product innovation that continues to drive the foodservice industry forward,” said Tom Cindric, president of the exhibitions for Informa Connect Foodservice Group. “The FABI Favorites offer an extra spotlight to the most outstanding products that truly exemplify the future of food and beverage.”
“We’re watching a fundamental shift in food culture,” said Alex Cotraviwat, Founder and CEO of Klimon. “Desserts and beverages are no longer the add-on. They’re becoming the reason people show up. The new expectation is indulgence without compromise. Cleaner ingredients, dairy-free options, and a premium experience that actually delivers.”
Right now, consumers can find KLIMON’s ice cream products at most nationwide retailers, including Lowes Foods, Kroger, Gelson’s and Harris Teeter, among other stores.
