Under its Nescafé brand, Nestlé has expanded its portfolio with the launch of Nescafé Gold Dessert Edition, an indulgent coffee collection inspired by popular desserts. The new range – in flavours chocolate caramel brownie mocha and sticky toffee pudding latte – comes in sachet format, which is “convenient and easy for preparation”. The sachets are non-HFSS and contain around 80 calories per mug, providing a frothy dessert-inspired treat with a caffeine boost. Mia Beverley, Nescafé Gold frothy coffee brand manager, said: “We are really excited to launch our new Nescafé Gold Dessert Editions range. Dessert Editions offers our consumers the perfect treat to elevate their coffee break or satisfy those afternoon or post-dinner me-moments. We have two delicious and indulgent flavours to choose from, a rich Chocolate Caramel Brownie Mocha and an iconic Sticky Toffee Pudding Latte, so you can now have your cake, by drinking it too!” In April, Nescafé tapped into the ice coffee market with the launch of Ice Roast, its first soluble coffee designed especially for use in iced coffee beverages. The Nescafé Gold Dessert Edition range is available now in major UK supermarkets.
