The desserts feature a caramelised biscuit base and Madagascan vanilla cheesecake and have been launched as Gü, now owned by UK egg producer Noble Foods, celebrates its tenth anniversary.
Part of the birthday celebrations include a GBP1m (US$1.55m) brand campaign that will last over the summer. This will include a nationwide on-pack promotion, ATL advertising, PR and digital engagement. A spokesperson for the group told just-food the company hopes the campaign will build brand awareness and drive sales growth.
Earlier this month, Noble Foods declined to comment on reports its owners are looking to sell the business.
