A New York phenomenon since 1987.

Eating right is not a new idea. But sometimes it’s pretty hard to do. For more than 20 years, Tasti D-Lite has been making it easier to eat less and still feel completely satisfied. We’re serious about our purpose. We’re even more serious about having fun doing it. We hope you’ll join us.
A short history of Tasti D-Lite
More than a hundred years after ice cream was invented, somebody finally got it right. In 1987, the first official Tasti D-Lite serving swirled into history, and an unprecedented phenomenon came to be. With Tasti D-Lite, shape-conscious New Yorkers could enjoy dessert every day. With fewer calories. Less fat. And none of that pesky guilt. Today, Tasti D-Lite serves its creamy delicious, dairy dessert in more than 100 flavors to thousands of devoted customers every day.
This waist-watcher’s dream began in the kitchen of a New York woman. She didn’t ask for much: she just wanted to enjoy frozen treats like everybody else. But without the worry. And, she thought, maybe other people felt the same way. Experimenting with different ingredients and flavors, she enlisted the help of her food technologist father. Together, they perfected the proprietary formula that satisfies like no other frozen dessert in the world today.
The future looks light, indeed
In 2015, the company was acquired by Kahala Brands, a global leader in the quick-service restaurant category based in Scottsdale, Arizona. Until now, only New Yorkers and a handful of others could enjoy the flavorful benefits of Tasti D-Lite.
