# Rockstar Rendition Sweets The Chunky Elvis Ice Cream is a Savory Spin on This Iconic Sandwich By Jaime Neely | Published 2011-08-26 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chunky-elvis-ice-cream References: [foodbeast](http://foodbeast.com/content/2011/08/24/chunky-elvis-ice-cream-4/) & [snappygourmet](http://snappygourmet.com/2011/08/24/chunky-elvis-ice-cream/) Recently featured on [Foodbeast](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lto-western-bbq-pizza) was a revolutionary twist to Elvis Presley's favorite sandwich in the form of Chunky Elvis Ice Cream. Featuring similar ingredients to the legendary rock star's sandwich which included bacon, bananas and peanut butter, this frozen dessert is a mouth-watering rendition. Each of the ingredients in the Chunky Elvis Ice Cream have received a slight makeover to better complement today's craze for decadence. The bacon component of the recipe has been candied using peanut butter and a homemade [banana ice cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milk-chocolate-peanut-butter-banana) has been prepared and infused with caramel and honey. This ice cream is the perfect opportunity to not only indulge in something delicious, but also to pay tribute to the great Elvis Presley. **Implications** - Businesses with products that pay tribute to the a pop culture icon or personality will likely appeal to a large audience. Those products that pay tribute to a deceased celebrity or icon will likely appeal on a larger level as they will reach out to consumers on a nostalgic level. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Decadent Food Craze:** Opportunity for businesses to create and market indulgent food products that cater to the current demand for decadence. - **Nostalgic Pop Culture Tributes:** Opportunity for businesses to develop products that pay tribute to deceased celebrities or icons, tapping into consumer nostalgia. - **Innovative Flavor Combinations:** Opportunity for businesses to experiment with unique and unconventional flavor pairings to create exciting and unconventional food products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for food and beverage companies to create and market innovative and indulgent products that cater to current trends and nostalgic consumer preferences. - **Entertainment and Merchandising:** Opportunity for entertainment and merchandising companies to develop and sell products that pay tribute to deceased celebrities or pop culture icons. - **Food Manufacturing and Ingredients:** Opportunity for food manufacturing and ingredient companies to supply unique flavor profiles and ingredients for creating innovative food products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sandwich-Flavored Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-and-jelly-flavor.md) - [Burger-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheeseburger-ice-cream.md) - [Sandwich-Flavored Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcconnells-x-gopuff-pbj-exclusive-pint.md) - [Four-in-One Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handels-ice-cream-sticky-fingers.md) - [Nostalgic Ice Cream Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/van-leeuwen-ice-cream-products.md) - [Burger-Style Frozen Novelties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frosty-burger.md) - [Ice Cream-Topped Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nashville-hot-crispy-chicken-ice-cream-sandwich.md) - [Nutty Nostalgic Baked Goods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-dessert-bar.md) - [Banana Peanut Butter Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-monkey-business.md)
