Founder Mansoor Ahmed says, "While listening to the customers, shop owners, and community members over the years, I noticed a pattern. They were seeking higher-quality, locally-made products that spoke to their experiences and also suited their dietary needs."

From the brand, there are also classic flavors like Vanilla Bean, Pistachio and Earl Grey that benefit from a unique perspective on frozen desserts. These indulgent desserts recently made its debut at the 2022 Summer Fancy Food Show. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 12% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 - **South Asian-inspired Desserts:** Creating premium desserts with classic South Asian flavors is a trending opportunity for artisanal food companies. - **Locally-made Products:** Providing higher-quality locally-made products that meet customer needs, like Heritage Kulfi's ice creams, is a trend that small businesses can embrace. - **Heritage Revival:** Reviving traditional cuisines and flavours, like those of South Asia, to suit modern taste preferences is a trend that entrepreneurs can capitalize on. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Artisanal Food:** Small artisanal food companies can explore creating South Asian-inspired premium desserts to meet the growing demand among customers. - **Local Food:** Locally-made products featuring traditional flavours, like Heritage Kulfi's ice creams, can find a niche market among consumers who value sustainably sourced food. - **Food Innovation:** Food innovators can explore creating unique frozen dessert flavours, like Earl Grey and Pistachio, that cater to customers seeking unconventional taste experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Premium Kulfi Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heritage-kulfi-ice-cream.md) - [Artisanal Indian Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khoyas-ice-cream-collection.md) - [Reduced Milk Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rabri-malai-kulfi.md) - [Asian-Influenced Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sabai-creamery.md) - [Milk Solids Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gallivant-mawa-ice-cream.md) - [Asian-Inspired Gelatos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kessho-gelato.md) - [Japanese-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japanese-inspired-ice-cream.md) - [Kulfi-Flavored Protein Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fitfeast.md) - [Tahini-Infused Frozen Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-tahini-frozen-desserts.md)
