# Frozen Cookie Desserts The Lemon Cookies and Cream Gelato is a New All-Time Summer Classic By Alyson Wyers | Published 2015-04-17 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookies-and-cream-gelato References: [howsweeteats](http://www.howsweeteats.com/2015/04/lemon-cookie-gelato/) The lemon cookies and cream gelato is a refreshing ice cream recipe you'll be enjoying all season long. Created by food blogger Jess of How Sweet It Is, the lemon cookie gelato goes really well with Talenti tiramisu too, if you want to binge on dessert. Jess used Dare lemon sandwich cookies found at her local grocery store, and they come highly recommended. The altered version of a Williams-Sonoma lemon gelato recipe calls for yummy ingredients like lemons, sugar, heavy cream, half and half, egg yolks, lemon extract, vanilla extract and lemon sandwich cookies that are chopped and crushed up. The lemon cookies and cream gelato is yet another example of how two treats (ice cream and an existing cookie) can be combined in innovative (and delicious) new ways. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 44% | 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Combination Treats:** Innovative combinations of two treats in the food industry can lead to new and delicious recipes, such as Jess's lemon cookies and cream gelato. - **Premium Gelato:** Premium gelato flavors like lemon cookies and cream can give traditional ice cream brands stiff competition. - **Alternative Ingredients:** Using alternative and unique ingredients like Dare lemon sandwich cookies can elevate the flavors and textures of desserts or other products. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage Industry:** The food and beverage industry can benefit from exploring innovative dessert ideas like Jess's lemon cookies and cream gelato. - **Premium Ice Cream and Gelato Brands:** Jess's lemon cookies and cream gelato recipe can inspire premium ice cream and gelato brands to create new and unique flavors. - **Snack Industry:** Incorporating unique ingredients like Dare lemon sandwich cookies in snacks and desserts can lead to disruptive innovations and new product lines for the snack industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tart Lemon Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/when-life-gives-you-lemons-make-ice-cream.md) - [Baking-Inspired Gelatos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/talenti-gelato-sorbetto.md) - [Citrusy Meringue Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lemon-meringue-pie-ice-cream.md) - [Seasonal Lemon Blueberry Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lemon-blueberry-cookie.md) - [Creamy Strawberry Gelatos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberries-cream-gelato.md) - [Springtime Mediterranean Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/white-chocolate-lemon-cookie.md) - [Strawberry Lemonade Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-lemonade-ice-cream.md) - [Lemon-Flavored Cookie Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lemon-cookie.md) - [Globally Inspired Frozen Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/talenti-frozen-treats.md)
