Traditionally affogato consists of a scoop of vanilla ice cream and shot of hot espresso, but this version integrates an autumnal ice cream flavor, plus a scoop of dulce de leche. To recreate this caffeinated dulce de leche recipe, you'll need pure pumpkin puree, cream cheese, liquid honey, ground cinnamon, [pumpkin pie spice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-pie-spice-iced-coffee) and vanilla extract among other ingredients. For an adult boozy version, you can also add some bourbon. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 - **Seasonal Mashups:** Businesses can look into creating seasonal mashups to appeal to customers' love for unique and novel food experiences. - **Beverage Innovations:** Beverage companies can experiment with adding new flavors and ingredients to traditional beverages to create exciting and bold tasting experiences for consumers - **Dessert-paired Beverages:** Creating new and unique beverage and dessert pairings can draw in customers seeking fresh and interesting food experiences. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can innovate by creating new and seasonal food and beverage mashups to attract new customers and retain loyal ones. - **Coffee Shops:** Coffee shops can experiment with new coffee and dessert pairings to increase sales and curiosity from customers. - **Ice Cream Companies:** Ice cream companies can create unique and seasonal flavors to attract customers who want to try something new and exciting. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Matcha Affogato Recipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matcha-affogato-recipe.md) - [Autumnal Caramelized Milk Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hagendazs-pumpkin-spice.md) - [Instant-Coffee Dessert Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nescaf-affogato-kit.md) - [Caramel-Forward Iced Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dulce-de-leche-frappe.md) - [Espresso Pour-Over Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/affogato-smoothie.md) - [Seasonally Spiced Indulgences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-spice-collection.md) - [Autumnal Boozy Whipped Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-spice-whipshots.md) - [Pumpkin Frozen Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-frozen-coffee.md) - [Autumnal Latte Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-spice-latte-ice-cream.md)
