# Hybrid Fall Ginger Treats Gingerbread-Pumpkin Icecream Sandwiches are a Delicious Mix By Nikki Taylor | Published 2012-11-25 | Special Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingerbreadpumpkin-icecream-sandwiches References: [instructables](http://www.instructables.com/id/Gingerbread-Pumpkin-Icecream-Sandwiches/) These gingerbread-pumpkin [ice cream sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nightingale-ice-cream-sandwiches) are perfect for the holiday seasons. Great thing about this recipe is that you do not need to be the proud owner of an ice cream machine to make it. A [can of pumpkin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/culvers-frozen-pumpkin-treats) is actually added into the mixture of condensed milk and heavy whipping cream that will eventually be chilled to become your stuffing. The [gingerbread cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/german-iced-gingerbread-soft-spiced-cookies) use butterscotch pudding as a base and are placed in the oven for up to ten minutes so they are still soft and fluffy. The gingerbread-pumpkin icecream sandwiches are a fitting way to combine all of your favorite flavors and not have to choose one holiday over the other. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Special](https://www.trendhunter.com/special) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Holiday-themed Food:** Create innovative and delicious holiday-themed treats by combining flavors and ingredients from different seasonal dishes. - **Alternative Ice Cream Recipes:** Explore new ways to make ice cream without using traditional ice cream machines, opening up opportunities for experimentation and unique flavors. - **Gingerbread Pudding Cookies:** Incorporate unique ingredients like butterscotch pudding into traditional cookie recipes to create soft and fluffy gingerbread cookies with a twist. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Food companies can develop and market holiday-themed treats and alternative ice cream recipes to cater to consumers' demand for unique and seasonal flavors. - **Restaurant and Catering:** Restaurants and catering businesses can offer gingerbread-pumpkin ice cream sandwiches as a specialty item during the holiday season to attract customers with innovative dessert options. - **Baking and Pastry:** Bakers and pastry chefs can experiment with incorporating unusual ingredients like butterscotch pudding into traditional cookie recipes to create innovative and flavorful gingerbread cookies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Triple Ginger Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-gingerbread-ice-cream.md) - [Sugary Gingerbread Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iced-gingerbread-ice-cream.md) - [Gingerbread-Flavored Ice Cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingerbread-house-ice-cream.md) - [Limited-Edition Gingerbread Gelatos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hackney-gelato-gingerbread.md) - [Pumpkin Pie Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-in-the-sky-creation.md) - [Haunted Gingerbread Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haunted-gingerbread.md) - [Autumnal Caramelized Milk Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hagendazs-pumpkin-spice.md) - [Pumpkin-Flavored Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-delights-ice-cream.md) - [Limited-Edition Seasonal Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seasonal-cookies.md)
