Oate Mint Chocolate Ice Creme (Whipped - Urban Dessert Lab)
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many entrepreneurs to come up with creative strategies in order to stay afloat. During this time, two sisters found a way to deliver their plant-based ice cream to customers around the country.
Founded by Courtney Blagrove and Zan B.R, Whipped Urban Dessert Lab is a Black women-owned company that specializes in creamy, vegan, gluten-free, and indulgent oat milk soft serve. The company opened its first shop in Brooklyn, NY in 2019 before relocating to Lower Manhattan last year. However, like many other small businesses, the founders looked for new ways to keep their operations going through the pandemic. The duo announced on their Instagram page that they partnered with online retailer Goldbelly to deliver their signature oat mile nationwide.
