Triple-Shock Dessert Recipes

The Chocolate-Dipped Ice Cream Doughnut Sandwiches are Outrageous

— May 17, 2013 — Lifestyle
The Chocolate-Dipped Ice Cream Doughnut Sandwiches are one serious dessert. Made out of chocolate, ice cream and donuts, each ingredient on its own is enough for most people, but someone has decided to combine the three to make an ultimate ice cream sandwich.

Conceived and created by Sarah J. Gim of Tastespotting, the Chocolate-Dipped Ice Cream Doughnut Sandwiches may use already made glazed donuts and slow churn ice cream, but for those with more time on their hands, they can make everything from scratch. Relatively easy to assemble, the glazed donut is simply halved, then coffee ice cream placed in between and all is held together with the melted chocolate. They can even be frozen for later.
Trend Themes
1. Indulgent Desserts - There is an opportunity to create more shockingly indulgent desserts by combining unexpected ingredients, like donuts and ice cream.
2. DIY Desserts - Creating DIY versions of these desserts can be a trendy and fun experience for consumers with more time to experiment.
3. Unusual Ice Cream Sandwiches - Expanding on the concept of ice cream sandwiches and experimenting with unusual ingredients like donuts presents opportunities for disruption in the dessert industry.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - The food and beverage industry can capitalize on creating indulgent dessert options by incorporating unexpected ingredients into their products.
2. Bakery - Bakeries can experiment with creating their own versions of the donut ice cream sandwich to offer unique and indulgent desserts to their customers.
3. Confectionery - The confectionery industry can innovate by incorporating unusual ingredients into ice cream and chocolate creations, resulting in unique and indulgent products.
