The product is made with a milk-based ice cream that boasts a [tart yogurt-like taste](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yasso-frozen-greek-yogurt) from the use of heat-sterilized fermented milk. This taste and texture is enhanced with a [sweet honey sauce](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-cream-for-bears), which pairs well with the sweet-sour flavor combination. Just like a small pot of yogurt, the new Honey and Milk ice cream treat will come in three-ounce cup sizes. There are plenty of ice cream desserts that take inspiration from decadent treats like layered cakes, banana splits and cookies, but this ice cream ventures into a new category of snacks. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## 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 - **Yogurt-inspired Ice Creams:** Merging the flavors and textures of ice cream and yogurt to create a new taste experience. - **Fermented Ingredients:** Using heat-sterilized fermented milk in ice cream to achieve a yogurt-like taste and texture. - **Small-sized Treats:** Offering ice cream in small, yogurt-sized cups for portion control and convenience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Ice Cream:** Incorporating yogurt flavors and textures into ice cream to increase product variety. - **Dairy:** Experimenting with fermented ingredients like heat-sterilized fermented milk in ice cream for a unique taste experience. - **Packaged Desserts:** Creating small-sized ice cream cups for on-the-go, snackable treats. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Afternoon Tea-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hagendazs-ice-cream-flavors.md) - [Founder-Honoring Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hagendazs-ice-cream-flavor.md) - [Dessert-Inspired Frozen Yogurts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yogurtland-strawberries-n-cream.md) - [Strawberry Matcha Frozen Yogurts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-matcha.md) - [Blueberry-Themed Ice Cream Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-blueberry-collection.md) - [Decadent Oat-Based Frozen Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hagen-dazs-oat-milk.md) - [Seasonal Frozen Yogurt Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yogurtland-1.md) - [Japanese-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japanese-inspired-ice-cream.md) - [Swirled Textural Frozen Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hagendazs-ice-cream-bars.md)
