Decadently Tweaked Treats

The Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie is a Wonderful Seasonal Hybrid

— October 8, 2011 — Lifestyle
The fact that autumn is my favorite season of the year is entirely due to the fact that I get to stuff my face with decadent desserts such as this pumpkin chocolate chip cookie pie. While pumpkin pie is a classic dessert for the fall season, this slightly tweaked recipe, featured on 'How Sweet It Is,' is simply irresistible.

Not only does this recipe bring two of my favorite desserts together in one bite, its main ingredient is this season's most popular vegetable, pumpkin. The recipe for the pumpkin chocolate chip cookie pie follows the standard pumpkin pie directions, but also calls for slightly more flour, butter and chocolate chips to give it that chewy, cookie-like texture. This pie is the perfect way to welcome the cooler weather this season.
Trend Themes
1. Hybrid Desserts - Creating innovative dessert combinations that blend different flavors and textures, like the pumpkin chocolate chip cookie pie, can disrupt the dessert industry.
2. Seasonal Indulgences - Capitalizing on the popularity of seasonal ingredients, such as pumpkin, to create unique and decadent treats presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in the food industry.
3. Upscaled Classics - Taking traditional desserts, like pumpkin pie, and adding creative twists, like the addition of extra flour, butter, and chocolate chips, can disrupt the market and attract new customers.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - The food and beverage industry can explore innovative dessert combinations and capitalize on seasonal ingredients to create unique and indulgent products, like the pumpkin chocolate chip cookie pie.
2. Bakery - Bakeries can experiment with revamping classic dessert recipes, like pumpkin pie, to offer customers elevated and imaginative options, such as the chewy and cookie-like pumpkin chocolate chip cookie pie.
3. Confectionery - Confectionery companies can tap into the trend of hybrid desserts and develop crave-worthy treats, like the decadent pumpkin chocolate chip cookie pie, that combine different flavors and textures to stand out in the market.
