UK cookie dough brand Doughlicious is expanding its footprint in chilled desserts with the launch of its new Cookie Dough Skillet range.

Featuring two varieties, the launch includes the innovative Chocolate Chip & Banana Chunky Oat Baked Cookie Dough Skillet with Plant-Based Collagen Support – a first-of-its-kind functional dessert combining indulgence with a 'beauty from within' benefit, and a Chocolate Chip Baked Cookie Dough Skillet – a gooey cookie topped with a golden crumble for sharing.

The plant-based collagen support in the Banana Chunky Oat variant includes a blend of vitamins, minerals and bamboo extract that helps support the body’s natural collagen production, a benefit increasingly valued in the beauty and wellness space.

Founder, Kathryn Bricken, said: “At Doughlicious, we’re passionate about revolutionising dessert while staying true to our commitment to better-for-you ingredients and the convenience today’s families crave.”

Both products are gluten-free, made with premium, clean-label ingredients, and can be baked in minutes or enjoyed chilled.

Available nationwide from October in Whole Foods Market stores, the cookie dough skillet desserts will be priced at £5.50.
