Mission: CRAFTING AN INCLUSIVE DESSERT CULTURE
Mucho Gusto is a pioneering concept in the frozen dessert space in Puerto Rico, exclusively crafting plant-based and gluten-free ice cream and desserts. We are committed to delivering flavor and fun to allergen-restricted eaters, vegans, and foodies alike.
the back story
The idea for Mucho Gusto was born in Laura's Hong Kong kitchen, back when she was living in Asia in 2014.
"I wanted to bring a new tradition of fun and decadence to the ice cream space. It was a passion project celebrating my fond memories of family ice cream outings and countless baking sessions with my grandmother. I named it Wild Mylk, and rented space at a gluten-free bakery kitchen. I delivered the product to artisanal food markets, healthy lifestyle events, and people’s homes."
​
Fast-forward to the summer of 2019, she moved back to Puerto Rico, after being away for over 20 years.
"My journey of expat living and traveling abroad really exposed me to unique experiences, especially in the food space. I returned to PR to be closer to family, raise my 3 children on this beautiful island, and continue my entrepreneurial journey."
​
In November 2019 renovations for a production space began, and Mucho Gusto opened in 2020.
"I rebranded as Mucho Gusto to honor new beginnings and represent my roots and culture. My goal is that Mucho Gusto positively impacts the food scene here in Puerto Rico. I want to inspire all dessert lovers, collaborate with local food artisans and farmers, and be a part of the rise and growth of the plant-based movement in Puerto Rico."
