# Bacon Ice Cream Sandwiches This DudeFoods Recipe Involves a Woven Bacon Top By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-10-28 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-ice-cream-sandwich References: [dudefoods](http://dudefoods.com/the-bacon-weave-ice-cream-sandwich/) DudeFoods' is known for making tons of recipes with woven bacon, but it's been a while since we've seen this staple worked into a new creation. Now, this [Bacon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ake-bacon-sando) Weave Ice Cream Sandwich brings back the signature bacon element in an unexpected way. Rather than sandwiching a slice of ice cream between cookies, this recipe calls for two disks of woven bacon—the easiest way to do this is to create two squares of woven bacon and cut out a circular form from each one. True to the showmanship that DudeFoods recipes are constantly able to boast, this recipe involved cutting a pint of ice cream in the container with a cordless reciprocating saw—it's definitely not the simplest or the safest way to make an [ice cream sandwich](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neapolitan-ice-cream-sandwich), but it is the most impressive. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Bacon Weave:** The weaving technique with bacon has the potential to be used in other dishes, creating a unique texture and flavor. - **Ice Cream Innovations:** This recipe sparks ideas for experimenting with different ways to make ice cream sandwiches that are not traditional cookie-based. - **Showmanship Recipes:** Recipes that have a showmanship element can potentially attract more attention and go viral on social media platforms. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can experiment with new and unconventional ingredients to create unique taste experiences like this one. - **Kitchen Appliances:** Companies that manufacture kitchen appliances can create innovative products that make it easier and safer to execute unconventional recipes like the bacon ice cream sandwich. - **Social Media Platforms:** Social media platforms can create new features that highlight and encourage showmanship recipes like this one to be shared. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Burger-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheeseburger-ice-cream.md) - [Burger-Style Frozen Novelties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frosty-burger.md) - [Stroopwafel Ice Cream Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stroopwafel-ice-cream-sandwich.md) - [TV Tray-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hungry-dad-fathers-day-tray.md) - [Ice Cream-Topped Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nashville-hot-crispy-chicken-ice-cream-sandwich.md) - [Ice Cream Sandwich Scoops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-cream-sandwich-scoop.md) - [Frozen Brownie Cookie Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salted-caramel-ice-cream-sandwich.md) - [Frozen Dessert Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookie-dough-ice-cream-sandwich.md) - [Waffle-Inspired Ice Cream Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eggo-ice-cream-sandwiches.md)
