BUFFALO, NY — Rich Products launched Turtle Cheesecake Mousse Parfait under its Our Specialty Treat Shop label.

Targeted at convenience store operators lacking the labor capacity to create indulgent options, the dessert is positioned as a grab-and-go treat that can capitalize on the 16% growth in parfait unit sales versus the prior year, according to an NIQ report for the 52-week period ended on Dec. 30, 2023.

The parfait features cheesecake mousse, a bed of chocolate crumbs, chocolate chips, pecans and a layer of caramel, all in a portable 5.75-oz container. Rich’s product has a frozen shelf life of 365 days and a refrigerated shelf life of 8 days.

“We created the Turtle Cheesecake Mousse Parfait in response to requests from our retail customers,” said Elizabeth Sommer, customer marketing manager for Rich Products. “Our Specialty Treat Shop mousse parfaits answer a C-store’s need for delicious desserts that are individually packaged, portable and labor-free.”

Rich’s Specialty Treat Shop portfolio also contains several additional flavors of mousse parfaits, including French-style cheesecake and banana pudding, along with chocolate and strawberry cake parfaits, and tres leches-style cake cups.
