Yogurt isn’t generally thought of as an indulgent dessert food, but Lavva, a brand of plant-based yogurts, has launched a new line called Molten Lavva that combines rich, creamy decadence and classic dessert flavors with plant-based clean ingredients and no added sugars. The new line is expected to be ready to ship to natural products retailers this month.
The secret to Molten Lavva’s creamy texture is the pili nut, a tropical tree nut that’s native to Southeast Asia, Papua New Guinea and northern Australia. “It’s similar to coconut, in that out of 200 calories, 192 of them come from fat,” said Elizabeth Fisher, Lavva’s Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “I’m now over my fear of fats. It is satisfying. It keeps you full longer. You don’t start craving bad things.” While the pili nut does include some saturated fat, it’s almost entirely in the form of the monounsaturated fats. Unlike coconut, pili nuts don’t have a strong flavor of their own to interfere with the flavors of other ingredients, according to Fisher. “It has a neutral, buttery taste,” she said. “It just tastes like butter, with a neutral, creamy mouthfeel.”
Although pili nuts are plentiful in the areas where they grow, they aren’t widely known elsewhere because the natural fats in the nuts tend to oxidize quickly. “Once you crack the hard shell, you have about 30 days to use it,” Fisher said. “That may be one of the main reasons it’s never been [widely] exported.”

After harvest, the nuts are soaked and sprouted, and then dehydrated into a form that preserves the natural fats without using chemical stabilizers. “It’s ridiculously high in magnesium and Vitamin B and has other micronutrients as well,” Fisher said. “It’s a beautiful nutritional profile in addition to the fats.”
Lavva makes its plant-based yogurts by adding probiotic cultures to the pili nuts along with plantain, which adds sweetness and prebiotic fiber; cassava; and coconut, which contributes medium chain triglycerides. “This is something that was never planned. But when when the prebiotic fibers met the probiotics, the probiotics just started feasting, and it keeps the probiotics alive in the cup,” Fisher said. “We have found that the plantain are delivering a slow-release food source for the probiotics over the course of the life of the product.”
“We have no added sugars across the entire Lavva line, so even though we have a fruit flavor, it’s just organic fruit, and that’s unique in the yogurt category,” she added. “Plus, it’s clean…. This is how good yogurt gets grown. It’s clean, plant-based, so it hasn’t been done with processing agents and technology. It hasn’t been done with a lot of powders and potions – it’s grown from a tree.”
The new Molten Lavva desserts feature classic dessert flavors: Chocolate, Chocolate Raspberry, Espresso, Key Lime and Vanilla Chai. Like the other Lavva yogurts, they have no added sugar, and a one-serving cup offers 3-4 grams of net carbohydrates and 18 grams of fat as well as prebiotics and probiotics. They’re plant-based and keto approved.
“It lives right next to the Lavva in the regular refrigerator case,” Fisher said. “It’s a refrigerated yogurt but with very different positioning…. This is a fermented food with naturally occurring prebiotics. It’s 100 percent plant-based and so good you can’t imagine.”
