Big Tree Farms and Frönen Team Up to Put a New Spin on Fall’s Favorite Dessert

Limited-edition four-ingredient dairy free frozen dessert featuring Big Tree Farms Golden Coconut Sugar is available exclusively at Whole Foods Market

BALI, Indonesia - September 2026 — Apple pie probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when you think about coconut trees in Indonesia, but that’s exactly where Frönen’s newest pint flavor begins. Big Tree Farms is teaming up with Frönen for an Apple Pie dairy free frozen dessert, available now exclusively at Whole Foods Market stores for a limited time. While Big Tree Farms Organic Golden Coconut Sugar is already used as an ingredient in products from brands across the food industry, this marks the first time the company has publicly announced a collaboration that puts its signature coconut sugar front and center, alongside a finished consumer product.

Made with just four ingredients — apple, coconut cream, Big Tree Farms Organic Golden Coconut Sugar and cinnamon — the seasonal pint captures the familiar flavor of classic apple pie in a creamy, dairy free frozen dessert. Big Tree Farms Organic Golden Coconut Sugar brings light caramel notes and rounded sweetness that naturally complement the apples and cinnamon, creating a nostalgic taste reminiscent of the beloved fall dessert.

Certified non-UPF, Big Tree Farms Organic Golden Coconut Sugar begins with fresh coconut blossom nectar, or Nira, harvested by farming communities across Indonesia. The nectar is collected and reduced over heat before being granulated into a rich, golden sugar. Its versatility extends well beyond the collaboration, making it an easy swap for traditional sugar in coffee, baked goods, oatmeal, sauces and more.

"I love this collaboration because it shows just how unexpected coconut sugar can be. It starts with a farmer climbing a coconut tree to harvest pure flower nectar, and somehow that journey ends in a pint of Apple Pie frozen dessert at Whole Foods Market," said Ben Ripple, co-founder of Big Tree Farms. "That’s an amazing story, and yet what’s even better is that Golden Coconut Sugar works here so perfectly. The light caramel notes match with the apples and cinnamon for an apple pie flavor that’s as good as Granny Ripple’s!"

The collaboration arrives just in time for the holiday season, as consumers are increasingly seeking foods made with familiar ingredients and shorter ingredient lists. Frönen’s Apple Pie dairy free frozen dessert offers a fresh take on a classic fall indulgence, while introducing shoppers to the distinctive flavor and versatility of Golden Coconut Sugar.

For consumers who want to recreate the flavor at home, Big Tree Farms Organic Golden Coconut Sugar is available for purchase directly through its retail partners.

The limited-edition flavor is available at Whole Foods Market stores for a limited time, while supplies last.

The collaboration will also be featured across the brands’ social channels throughout September, including an Instagram giveaway and recipe on September 21 and an ingredient spotlight on September 24, following Big Tree Farms Organic Golden Coconut Sugar from Nira harvesting to coconut sugar and finally into Frönen Apple Pie frozen dessert.
