Nostalgic Chocolate-Topped Treats

The Newest Ben & Jerry's Topped Treats Remind of Childhood

— January 25, 2022 — Lifestyle
Ben & Jerry's Topped is a line is described as an "ice cream sundae in a pint" thanks to a spoonable chocolate layer and as of 2022, the brand has developed a milk chocolatey version of the ganache Topped layer. While the original line featured either a dark or white chocolatey ganache, these new flavors take inspiration from some of the most beloved chocolate milk creations from childhood. The newest additions to the line take cues from chocolate milk and cookies and a classic pudding and cookie crumb dessert that's better known as dirt cake.

Topped Chocolate Milk & Cookies is a new treat that combines chocolate ice cream with chocolate chip cookies and chocolate cookie swirls, plus milk chocolatey ganache and fudge chips. Similarly, Topped Dirt Cake offers a flavor experience that's just as rich and nostalgic.
Trend Themes
1. Nostalgia-inspired Treats - The popularity of nostalgic flavors and desserts creates an opportunity for new products and menu items that evoke childhood memories.
2. Sundae-in-a-pint - The success of the spoonable Topped layer in Ben & Jerry's ice cream presents an opportunity for other ice cream brands to offer similar products.
3. Chocolate Milk Reinvented - Innovative products that recreate the taste of classic chocolate milk in new ways can capitalize on the popularity of chocolatey, dairy-based treats.
Industry Implications
1. Ice Cream Industry - Brands can create new products that capitalize on the success of Ben & Jerry's Topped line and the trend towards nostalgic desserts.
2. Cookie & Biscuit Industry - Cookie companies can collaborate with ice cream brands to offer new flavors that combine classic cookies and chocolatey treats.
3. Milk & Dairy Industry - Innovative dairy-based products, such as flavored milks, can capitalize on the popularity of childhood nostalgia and the reinvention of classic treats like chocolate milk.
