To make the red layer, you will need strawberries, cherries, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, lemon juice and grated red beet. To begin, heat the berries and maple syrup into a medium saucepan. Then add the chia seeds, vanilla, lemon and grated beet. The use of strawberries, cherries and grated beet gives this dish a bold red color. For the white layer, you will need to whip full-fat coconut milk with vanilla bean and a little bit of sugar. Assemble the dish by alternating layers of the jam and whipped cream in small parfait glasses. The end result is a gorgeous flag-inspired dessert that is sure to be a hit at any Canada Day party. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Plant-based Desserts:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop and market more creative plant-based dessert options to cater to the growing demand for vegan-friendly treats. - **Colorful Food Presentation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create visually appealing dishes with vibrant colors to enhance the dining experience and attract social media attention. - **National Holiday-themed Desserts:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design and promote desserts tailored to specific national holidays to engage customers and capture seasonal sales. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize innovative ingredients and techniques to develop unique dessert offerings and stay ahead in a competitive market. - **Hospitality and Events:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Offer themed desserts and menu options for special occasions such as national holidays, weddings, and corporate events to attract more customers and increase revenue. - **Social Media and Influencer Marketing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with popular food influencers to showcase visually appealing and captivating desserts to create viral trends and boost brand awareness. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Patriotic Summertime Smoothie Bowls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frutta-bowls-red-white-blue-bowl.md) - [Patriotic Fruit-Packed Pancakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-white-blueberry-pancakes.md) - [Elevated QSR Frozen Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/white-chocolate-strawberry-frosty.md) - [Patriotic Frozen Custard Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freedom-berry-jackhammer.md) - [Elegantly Fresh V-Day Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-charlotte.md) - [Mashup Restaurant Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swiss-chalet-desserts.md) - [Patriotic Pancake Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-white-berry-pancake-slam.md) - [Nutritionally Enhanced Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veggies-made-great1.md) - [Free-From Frozen Yogurt Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-yogurt-cakes.md)
