Cookie-Flavored Cream Cheese

Tompkins Square Bagels Now Offers Cookie Dough Cream Cheese

— August 7, 2017 — Lifestyle
With edible cookie dough quickly becoming a popular treat among millennials, it seems only natural that Cookie Dough Cream Cheese is now available. Created by Christopher Pugliese of Tompkins Square Bagels, the ultra-sweet spread is a delicious way to turn an ordinary bagel into a tasty dessert.

Tompkins Square Bagels' Cookie Dough Cream Cheese is a new offering that was inspired by Pugliese's own guilty pleasure. He explains that when he and his business partner were first building the store, they would stay up "until two or three in the morning, sitting on the floor, covered in dust, eating cookie dough straight out of the tube." As a result, Pugliese dreamed up Cookie Dough Cream Cheese, which is just one of 30 unusual cream cheese flavors that Tompkins Square Bagels offers.

With hunks of real cookie dough and chocolate chips mixed with silky smooth cream cheese, the spread is a delicious way to kick an ordinary bagel up a notch.
Trend Themes
1. Edible Cream Cheese - The trend of creating sweet and dessert-like cream cheese flavors can lead to the disruption of traditional breakfast food pairings.
2. Cookie Dough Variations - Cookie dough offerings in different products such as spreads and ice cream can diversify the cookie dough market and create a new consumer base for cookie dough enthusiasts.
3. Unconventional Flavors - Exploring unique and unexpected flavors can set apart cream cheese brands and cater to niche markets within the competitive food industry.
Industry Implications
1. Bakery - Bakeries can incorporate sweet, dessert-like cream cheese flavors into their products, creating new and unique offerings that differentiate them from competitors.
2. Dairy - Dairy companies can develop and market non-traditional cream cheese flavors to stay relevant and attract a younger, adventurous audience.
3. Breakfast - Breakfast establishments can utilize creative cream cheese flavors and pairings to innovate traditional menu items and attract younger consumers.
