The Ben & Jerry's Cores offer [two flavors in one](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sundae-swirls) with a decedent core filling running straight through to the bottom of the pint. In typical mouthwatering-fashion, it has created tempting combinations -- with a few punny titles -- such as Hazed & Confused, Karamel Sutra, Peanut Butter Fudge, Salted Caramel and That's My Jam. The ice cream pints are packed with goodness and tiny morsels of happiness such as [fudge chips, blonde brownie pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brookies-cream-sundae), raspberry jam or a [thick hazelnut fudge core](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loaded-cookies). Ben & Jerry have solved the common frozen-aisle dilemma; instead of being forced to decide between two equally satisfying tubs of ice cream, we can enjoy a single pint with all the delightful goodness jam packed into one. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 65% | 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Center-filled Desserts:** Opportunity for bakeries and dessert shops to create center-filled pastries, donuts, and cakes. - **Customize-your-own Core:** Opportunity for ice cream shops to allow customers to create their own core fillings in their ice cream. - **Interactive Food Experience:** Opportunity for restaurants to create interactive and customizable food experiences with center-filled dishes. ### Where This Applies - **Ice Cream Industry:** Companies in the ice cream industry can create center-filled ice cream flavors to attract customers and stand out from the competition. - **Food Retail Industry:** Opportunity for grocery stores to partner with dessert brands and offer center-filled desserts in their stores. - **Bakery Industry:** Opportunity for small bakeries to create their own center-filled desserts, incorporating unique fillings that cater to their customers' preferences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Textural Ice Cream Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ben-jerrys-peaces.md) - [Fudgy Pretzel Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impretzively-fudged.md) - [Indulgent Spoonable Sundaes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ben-jerrys-sundaes2.md) - [Pint-Sized Ice Cream Sundaes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ben-jerrys-sundaes.md) - [Super-Premium Ice Cream Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ben-jerrys-ice-cream-bars.md) - [Nostalgic Bakery-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bakery-ice-creams.md) - [Snacking-Friendly Frozen Brownie Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brookies-cream-peaces.md) - [Chocolatey Strawberry Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-covered-strawberry-ice-cream.md) - [Crumbly Cherry Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ben-jerrys-cherry-crumble.md)
