Turkish-Style Gelato Desserts

Pasha Delights Shares Slightly Stretchy and Chewy Dondurma Treats

— August 7, 2019 — Lifestyle
Pasha Delights is on a mission to introduce consumers in the United States to authentic dondurma or Turkish-style gelato. This dessert sets itself apart from other kinds of ice cream for its stretchy and slightly chewy, taffy-like texture. While the start-up offers familiar flavors like Original, Vanilla, Pistachio and Sea Salt Caramel, it also explores other unique combinations with varieties like Date & Rose and Tahini.

The brand's Original dondurma is made with fresh milk and cream, natural sweeteners and flavors, plus plant-based stabilizers and it is said to pair well with the toppings and sauces of one's choosing.

As consumers with a sweet tooth have now become familiar with a range of international ice cream products like Italian gelato, mochi and kulfi, Pasha Delights is aiming to fill a gap in the market where authentic dondurma can truly be appreciated.

3. Customizable Ice Cream Experience - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Offering dondurma that pairs well with a variety of toppings and sauces, allowing customers to create their own unique and indulgent dessert combinations.
Industry Implications

2. Food Retail - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborating with grocery stores and supermarkets to make authentic dondurma easily accessible to consumers looking for international ice cream options.
3. Food Tourism - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Promoting the cultural significance of Turkish-style gelato and attracting tourists by offering dondurma as a must-try dessert experience.
