Although the sweet treat may sound unusual, the pastry actually combines two delicious Latin flavors into one decadent dessert. The Dulce De Leche Empanadas are limited-edition treats created specially for the holiday season. The dish itself features the traditional empanada pastry shell stuffed with a sweet Dulce de Leche sauce and a creamy cheesecake ganache. The result is an ultra-indulgent take on a popular Latin American dish. However, for those who have already had their fill of sweets this holiday season, Pollo Campero is also offering savory Chicken Chipotle Empanadas made with shredded Latin chicken, smoky adobo and spicy chipotle pepper. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 11% | 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sweet Yuletide Empanadas:** Opportunity for food businesses to create unique and indulgent desserts by combining traditional flavors. - **Limited-edition Treats:** Potential for seasonal products to generate excitement and boost sales for businesses during holidays. - **Latin Fusion Desserts:** Emerging trend of blending Latin American flavors with traditional desserts to create new and innovative dishes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for food businesses to explore new flavor combinations and cater to customers' taste preferences. - **Hospitality and Restaurants:** Restaurants can leverage limited-edition treats to attract customers and create a unique dining experience during holidays. - **Dessert and Bakery:** Trend of fusion desserts opens up opportunities for bakeries to offer innovative and exciting pastry options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chicken Pairing Dipping Sauces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creamy-jalapeno.md) - [Latin Culinary Breads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-boulangerie-boulmich.md) - [Cheesecake-Filled Mexican Pastries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/churro-cheesecake-tamales.md) - [Tequila Lime-Infused Empanadas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tequila-lime-chicken-empanada.md) - [Cirtrusy Grilled Chicken Nuggets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grilled-chicken-nuggets.md) - [Collaboration Filled Pastry Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dulce-de-leche-cinnabon-delights.md) - [Quadruple Cheese Macaronis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourcheese-mac-and-cheese.md) - [Expanded Chicken Sandwich Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pollo-campero1.md) - [Chocolatey Mexican Popcorn Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/churro-chocolate-caliente-palomitaz.md)
