# Football Ice Cream Sandwiches These Sporty Frozen Dessert Creations Celebrate the Super Bowl By M | Published 2016-02-05 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dessert-creations References: [sheknows](http://www.sheknows.com/food-and-recipes/articles/1111295/football-ice-cream-sandwiches) While the Super Bowl is very embedded in the sport and the teams playing, it also brings with it a wave of food culture immersed in comfort food, fried dishes and dessert creations that equally celebrate the games as much as the fans do. This ice cream sandwich recipe is a great example of this sport foodie fandom with a dessert shaped like tiny edible footballs. The frozen sandwiches offer a sugary alternative to the fried food popular during the Super Bowl season. The sandwiches are made from homemade cocoa cookies cut into rounded almond-shaped footballs. The cookies are then filled with a thick layer of ice cream and finished off with an icing stitching pattern on the cookies that replicates the look of the footballs used during the game. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Comfort Food Remix:** Opportunity for creating innovative and unique comfort food creations that cater to specific events or themes. - **Sport Foodie Fandom:** Opportunity to merge the worlds of sports and food to create fun and interactive culinary experiences. - **Edible Food Shapes:** Opportunity to experiment with edible shapes that resemble objects or symbols related to a particular event or occasion. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for food and beverage companies to create new products or flavors that capitalize on the intersection of sports and culinary culture. - **Dessert and Baking:** Opportunity to explore innovative dessert and baking recipes that capture the essence of a specific sports event or celebration. - **Event Planning and Catering:** Opportunity for event planning and catering companies to offer unique and creative food experiences that enhance the overall theme or atmosphere of a sports-related event. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Decadent Super Bowl Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-game-cookies.md) - [Game Day Cupcakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baked-by-melissa-and-kinder.md) - [Dipped Cookie Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dipped-cookie-sandwiches.md) - [Football-Themed Cookie Party Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-day-party-box.md) - [Frozen Snack Cake Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-debbie-ice-cream-sandwiches.md) - [Frozen Brownie Cookie Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salted-caramel-ice-cream-sandwich.md) - [Football-Inspired Ice Cream Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snickers-ice-cream-chiller.md) - [Game Day Doughnut Lineups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halftime-show-doughnut.md) - [Burger-Style Frozen Novelties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frosty-burger.md)
