Created by Jessica from How Sweet It Is, the Coffee Ice Cream Hot Fudge Sundae Pie has a macaroon crust and a cherry on top. For added fun, there is also a generous helping of rainbow sprinkles and whipped cream. Described as a "gigantic pie-like version of a [chocolate vanilla swirl](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sundae-swirls)," the coffee ice cream is mixed in with vanilla. The toasted macaroon crust is made with shredded coconut and has a "chewy and gooey and a little bit crunchy" texture. To make the ice cream pie portion, you will need coffee ice cream, vanilla ice cream, cold heavy cream, powdered sugar and hot fudge chocolate syrup (plus other toppings). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.4/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Coffee Ice Cream:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a line of plant-based coffee ice creams to cater to the growing demand for dairy-free alternatives. - **Macaroon Crust:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a gluten-free version of the macaroon crust to tap into the market of gluten-sensitive consumers. - **Ice Cream Pies:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce customizable ice cream pies with a variety of flavors and toppings, appealing to consumers' desire for personalized desserts. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Frozen Desserts:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a line of innovative frozen dessert products, such as dairy-free ice cream and gluten-free ice cream pies, to cater to the health-conscious and allergy-sensitive markets. - **Plant-based Foods:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Expand the range of plant-based food products by creating coffee ice creams made from alternative ingredients, offering a vegan-friendly option. - **Customization Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create an online platform or app that allows consumers to customize their own ice cream pies by choosing their preferred ice cream flavors, crusts, and toppings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Peanut-Filled Dessert Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waffle-cone-pie.md) - [Indulgent Spoonable Sundaes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ben-jerrys-sundaes2.md) - [Ice Cream Sundae Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-cream-sundae-cookie.md) - [Pie-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pie-ice-creams.md) - [Chocolaty Pie-Flavored Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ben-jerrys-mousse-pie.md) - [Sundae-Inspired Brownies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-brownie-sundae.md) - [Cooling Cookie Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insomnia-cookies-in-ice-cream.md) - [Salty-Sweet Sundaes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salted-brown-butter-cookie-dazzler.md) - [Autumn Seasonal Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-debbie-apple-fruit-pie.md)
