# Spanish Donut Sandwiches Churro Borough's Churro Sandwich Gets Extra Indulgent with Ice Cream By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-12-02 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/churro-sandwich References: [foodbeast](http://www.foodbeast.com/2014/06/15/la-based-dessert-company-is-serving-a-churro-ice-cream-sandwich-and-it-looks-amazing/) & [churroborough](http://www.churroborough.com/) Rather than taking a long fried stick form, this creation from Sylvia [Yoo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yoohoo-candy-bar) of [Churro Borough](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mexican-inspired-syrups) twists the classic Mexican churro into a churro sandwich filled with ice cream. The [churro ice cream sandwich](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nightingale-ice-cream-sandwiches) is handmade and filled with one of four seasonal flavors, including: horchata with a rice and almond milk ice cream, Mexican hot chocolate, berry panna cotta or orange creamsicle. If you're not totally blown away by the sounds of these flavors, the fact that Yoo makes everything that goes into the sandwiches herself is surely impressive. The creaminess of the ice cream mixed with the crispy, sugary coating on the Spanish donut dessert sounds like a match made in heaven for those with a sweet tooth. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Ice Cream Sandwiches:** Churro Borough's ice cream filled churro sandwiches could inspire other creative ice cream sandwich variations. - **Gourmet Donuts:** This twist on a classic Mexican dessert could lead to more gourmet donut variations, incorporating unexpected flavors and textures. - **Handmade Treats:** Churro Borough's emphasis on handmade ingredients could inspire other small businesses to focus on handcrafting their own ingredients and products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Dessert Industry:** Churro Borough's innovative and indulgent churro sandwiches could inspire other dessert shops to expand their menus. - **Ice Cream Industry:** This churro ice cream sandwich could inspire other ice cream shops to incorporate unconventional ingredients, such as churros, into their menu items. - **Small Business Industry:** Churro Borough's focus on handmade ingredients could inspire other small businesses to prioritize the quality and innovation of their products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Textural Churro-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ben-jerrys-churray-for-churros.md) - [Fried Dessert-Flavored Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doughlicious-dough-chi.md) - [Churro-Flavored Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dulce-de-leche-ice-cream.md) - [Ice Cream-Filled Donut Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duck-donuts-donut-ice-cream-sandwich.md) - [Crunchy Churro Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caramel-churro-crunch-ice-cream.md) - [Churro-Inspired Donut Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/churrdough-collection.md) - [Remixed Latin Dessert Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-churro-chunk-cookie.md) - [Dippable Mini Churros](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-churritos.md) - [Mexican-Inspired Ice Cream Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-cream-stores.md)
