Created by PornBurger's Mathew Ramsey for [Buzzfeed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mytherabox), the [Bourbon and Espresso](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bourbon-cream) Adult Affogato features peanut butter and bacon flavored ice cream as well. A typical affogato recipe consists of a shot of hot espresso poured over vanilla ice cream or gelato. This concoction takes a lot of liberties. Beginning with a [bourbon and caramel base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bourbon-caramel-iced-coffee), you add homemade peanut butter and bacon ice cream. Or you can experiment here with different store-bought varieties, plain peanut butter or good old vanilla ice cream. Either way, garnishing with crispy bacon bits is always the right decision. The hot espresso comes last. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Alcoholic Affogato Recipes:** Disruptive innovation opportunity lies in creating unique and flavorful alcoholic affogato recipes using different types of ice cream and spirits. - **Gourmet Ice Cream Flavors:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the ice cream industry by creating inventive and bold flavors like peanut butter and bacon. - **Crossover Beverages:** Innovative opportunity to combine disparate beverage categories, such as coffee and cocktails, to create unique and delicious crossover drinks. ### Where This Applies - **Alcohol:** An opportunity for disruptive innovation in the alcohol industry is creating new ways to incorporate spirits into different food and beverage recipes. - **Food and Desserts:** The food and dessert industry can explore disruptive innovation by creating unconventional flavor combinations, like peanut butter and bacon ice cream, to attract adventurous customers. - **Coffee and Coffee Shops:** Innovative coffee shops can explore disruptive innovation by offering crossover beverages that combine coffee with alcohol or other unexpected ingredients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Martini-Flavored Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/martini-flavored-ice-cream.md) - [Instant-Coffee Dessert Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nescaf-affogato-kit.md) - [Matcha Affogato Recipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matcha-affogato-recipe.md) - [Coffee-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-inspired-ice-cream.md) - [Espresso Pour-Over Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/affogato-smoothie.md) - [Vanilla Coffee Cream Ales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vanilla-coffee-cream-ale.md) - [Sweet Italian-Inspired Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-reserve.md) - [Candied Whiskey Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graeters-bourbon-ball.md) - [Alcohol-Infused Sorbets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiked-cocktail-sorbet.md)
