The all-new menu items enhance SONIC's Real Ice Cream with cheesecake and graham cracker pieces for a decadent experience that needs no fork or plate to be enjoyed. Fans of fruit flavors will appreciate the freshness of the berry flavors in the Strawberry Cheesecake Blast, which builds upon the flavors found in the classic variety. Created to capture the flavors of the summertime, the Cheesecake Blasts are being introduced for a limited time this summer. The rich and decadent flavors of cheesecake are being formatted in creative ways that help people have their dessert and drink it too. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Cheesecake-flavored Treats:** Opportunity for restaurants and ice cream makers to incorporate cheesecake into their offerings. - **Sweet and Savory Combinations:** Opportunity to combine unexpected flavors into delicious menu items, such as the graham cracker pieces in the Cheesecake Blasts. - **Limited Time Offerings:** Opportunity to create buzz and excitement around menu items by offering them for a limited time only, as SONIC is doing with the Cheesecake Blasts this summer. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Restaurant Industry:** Restaurants can take advantage of the popularity of cheesecake and the trend of sweet and savory combinations by incorporating cheesecake into their menus. - **Ice Cream Industry:** Ice cream makers can create unique and decadent flavors by adding cheesecake pieces to their creamy treats. - **Limited Time Offerings Industry:** Marketers can capitalize on the trend of limited time offerings to create hype and drive sales of new products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chocolaty Cheesecake Sundaes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-big-scoop-cheesecake-sundae.md) - [Cake-Flavored Ice Cream Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yellow-cake-batter.md) - [Halloween-Themed QSR Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-trick-or-treat-blasts.md) - [Romantic Blended Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-covered-strawberry-shake-1.md) - [Branded Nutty Chocolate Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-peanut-butter-shake.md) - [Fried Dough-Inspired Milkshakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/churro-shake.md) - [Creamy Tart Lemonades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-topped-lemonades.md) - [Creamy Berry-Flavored Refreshments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-berries-and-cream.md) - [Blended Candy QSR Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-king-blasts.md)
