India’s rapidly growing plant-based dessert brand 1.5 Degree has been awarded the prestigious “Best Vegan Ice Cream – 2025” title at the PETA India Vegan Food Awards, recognising its widely loved Original Gelato Biscoff. The win marks a major milestone for the young brand, strengthening its position as one of the frontrunners in India’s emerging vegan and lactose-free dessert market.
The accolade celebrates the brand’s creamy, indulgent, 100% natural and dairy-free Biscoff gelato, which has gained strong popularity among consumers seeking cleaner, cruelty-free alternatives. PETA India cited its outstanding taste, plant-based formulation, clean-label ingredients, and commitment to ethical innovation as key factors behind the honour.
“We are excited and honoured to receive this recognition from PETA India,” said Vedansh Goyal, Founder of 1.5 Degree. “Our Biscoff Gelato is designed to provide a rich and indulgent dessert experience — free from dairy, lactose, and artificial additives. This award validates our mission to redefine vegan ice cream and natural plant-based desserts in India.”
What sets the Original Gelato Biscoff apart is its luxurious, non-heavy gelato texture, generous Biscoff crumble and caramel swirl, and its natural, preservative-free ingredient profile. Completely dairy-free and vegan, the gelato aligns with contemporary dietary preferences, appealing to millennials, health-focused consumers, lactose-intolerant individuals, and dessert lovers looking for guilt-free indulgence.
The win also reflects the momentum building within India’s plant-based food sector. With rising interest in vegan snacks, cruelty-free products and natural desserts, 1.5 Degree has rapidly expanded across multiple channels. The brand now partners with leading HoReCa players including Compass Group, Sodexo, Taj, Pullman, Country Inn, and PVR, and is present across corporate catering kiosks via SmartQ in Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. Its retail and D2C reach spans Zomato, Swiggy, and Instalanding.
Beyond gelatos, 1.5 Degree continues to broaden its portfolio with oat beverages, popsicles, kulfi sticks, smoothies, and chef-curated plant-based meals — positioning itself among India’s most innovative food brands driving the vegan movement forward.
