Cranberry Cheesecake Tarts Topping: Freeze Dried Cranberries Crust: Nuts, Dates, Dried Cranberries Filling: Cashew Coconut Cream Blend, Cranberry Puree • Vegan because it will be made with soaked cashews and coconut cream. • Not room temperature stable, but can be just taken out of the fridge and eaten, no baking or any preparation.

Multi-layer Bites The top and bottom layers: pink-white chocolate (white chocolate mix with cranberry juice). Two layers of cranberry jelly (mix with cranberry, apple and date concentrate). Middle layer: a crispy layer of baked cranberry seed with oat, sesame and almond. • Multiple layers with different textures • Divide the whole cranberry into three part: juice, pomace and seed and use them in different layers. • High in fiber • Fits the Asian market

Multi-layer chocolate coated bites Inside : Cranberry jam with apple/cranberry pomace, crunchy freeze dried purée/ whole cranberry, cracker. Coat : Dark chocolate. Sprinkle : Cranberry seeds Benefits: • Lower sugar content comparing to existing cranberry products. • Different texture in one bite • Sustainable for using pomace Potential Problems: • Different Aw may cause change of texture -- Separate them by chocolate • Cost for freeze dry is higher than other process • Still need sweetener to cover the tartness and bitterness of cranberry

Questions •Are there any obvious drawbacks to the products presented? •Has “healthy striver” been exemplified in these products? If not, what direction should be taken? •How can we can improve our product ideas? What are we missing? •Do any of the products/directions stand out?
