Gooey Campfire Cakes

These Decadent S'mores Desserts is a Refreshingly Chilled Treat

— July 10, 2015 — Lifestyle
While S'more desserts are traditionally warm, toasted and gooey, this recipe by food blog Food52 takes an unusual spin on the traditional campfire treat by serving it chilled. The best part is this cake requires no baking time, so it can be whipped up quickly for unexpected guests or parties.

The cake is made with a combination of traditional S'more ingredients including sugar, marshmallows and graham crackers coupled with popular cake ingredients like cream, milk, vanilla, cocoa powder an mascarpone cheese. The ingredients are layered similar to a traditional S'mores cookie with the whipped mascarpone cheese, vanilla and sprinkled marshmallows layered in-between graham crackers. The cake is left to chill in the fridge for several hours before being removed and topped with more marshmallows that can be toasted for an added gooey texture. This artisan recipe showcases how foodies are altering the textures of popular desserts for different occasions.
Trend Themes
1. Chilled Desserts - Opportunity for dessert companies to offer new summer-themed chilled treats that deviate from traditional warm and toasty desserts.
2. Unconventional Layering - Innovative layering techniques provide an opportunity for food companies to add new twists and textures to popular desserts for unique and distinct offerings.
3. No-bake Recipes - Convenience-based no-bake recipes create an opportunity for packaged food companies to offer pre-made, chilled dessert options that require minimal prep time and effort.
Industry Implications
1. Dessert Manufacturing - Innovative chilled dessert concepts offer dessert manufacturing companies an opportunity to introduce new products into the market that align with shifting consumer preferences for summer delicacies.
2. Food Blogging - Food bloggers can take advantage of unique crafting techniques to develop new dessert recipes that cater to varying consumer and lifestyle needs.
3. Specialty Food Retail - Specialty food stores, including gourmet and organic retailers, can capitalize on demand for unconventional dessert offerings by offering unique, chilled, and no-bake desserts that offer a different sensory experience for consumers.
