Chocolaty Olive Oil Desserts

This Ice Cream Sandwich Recipe is a Creamy and Soft Summer Classic

— June 23, 2015 — Lifestyle
This ice cream sandwich recipe is not only easy to make, it is also extremely tasty. From Food52's Yossy Arefi and featured on Refinery29, the Chocolate and Olive Oil Ice Cream Sandwiches also combine two slightly unusual flavors.

The recipe is undertaken in two parts: first the gelato, and then the cookies. The gelato features olive oil and cacao nibs, where as the cookies require ingredients such as bittersweet chocolate, dark rye flour, muscovado or dark brown sugar, vanilla extract and flaky salt to sprinkle on top.

The ice cream sandwich recipe focuses on the quality of the cookie, rather than the ice cream. This might seem counter-intuitive to some, but store-bought varieties usually freeze too hard. Yossy prefers cookies with brownie-like texture.
Trend Themes
1. Artisanal Desserts - This trend highlights the demand for unique, hand-crafted desserts like the chocolate and olive oil ice cream sandwiches, presenting an opportunity for artisanal dessert businesses to create innovative flavor combinations.
2. Plant-based Sweets - The combination of olive oil and cacao nibs in this ice cream sandwich recipe demonstrates the growing trend of incorporating plant-based ingredients into traditional desserts, suggesting an opportunity for plant-based dessert companies to develop innovative and indulgent treats.
3. Unconventional Flavor Pairings - The use of olive oil in a dessert, combined with chocolate, showcases the trend of experimenting with unconventional flavor pairings, creating the potential for companies to explore unique taste combinations in their product offerings.
Industry Implications
1. Artisanal Dessert Industry - With the demand for hand-crafted desserts on the rise, the artisanal dessert industry can capitalize on this trend by creating innovative and high-quality treats, such as the chocolate and olive oil ice cream sandwiches.
2. Plant-based Dessert Industry - The incorporation of plant-based ingredients in desserts, as demonstrated by the chocolate and olive oil ice cream sandwiches, presents an opportunity for the plant-based dessert industry to develop delectable and indulgent sweets that cater to health-conscious consumers.
3. Gourmet Dessert Industry - As the trend of unconventional flavor pairings gains popularity, the gourmet dessert industry can leverage this trend to offer unique and adventurous desserts, like the chocolate and olive oil ice cream sandwiches, that push the boundaries of traditional flavor profiles.
