# Soured Cream Desserts This Italian-Style Ice Cream Takes Flavor Inspiration from Crème Fraîche By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-10-07 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/italian-style-ice-cream References: [snoqualmieicecream](http://www.snoqualmieicecream.com/shop/creme-fraiche-gelato) This gelato, or Italian-style ice cream by Snoqualmie offers a fresh take on frozen desserts. The ice cream product is made with simple ingredients like milk, cultured cream, skim milk, sugar and sugared egg yolks, yet it takes its flavor inspiration from an unusual source—crème fraîche, which is a naturally soured cream. The all-natural ice cream product is made from non-GMO ingredients and boasts a formula that's free from added hormones, preservatives and artificial flavors. Rather than trying to come up with exotic and inventive new flavor pairings, many food and beverage brands are simply looking to adjacent products inside or outside of their own category to create crossover flavors inspired by other items that are already familiar to consumers. Snoqualmie's Crème Fraiche Gelato is a perfect example of this. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Adjacent Flavor Pairings:** Food brands are looking to create crossover flavors inspired by adjacent products inside or outside of their own category. - **All-natural Ingredients:** Consumers are increasingly looking for products made from all-natural, non-GMO ingredients. - **Sour Cream-inspired Desserts:** Brands are producing frozen desserts inspired by the unique flavors of naturally soured creams. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** Companies in this industry can create new products by looking to adjacent flavors and using all-natural ingredients. - **Dairy:** Brands in this industry can leverage the unique flavors of naturally soured creams to create innovative new dairy products. - **Frozen Desserts:** Companies in this industry can tap into the trend of sour cream-inspired desserts by offering new flavors and all-natural ingredients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Farm-Fresh Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bold-spoon-creamery.md) - [Fruit-Filled Sorbetto Shells](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruit-filled-sorbetto-shells.md) - [Authentic Italian Gelato Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crosta-mollica-gelato.md) - [Frozen Dessert Alternatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-cream.md) - [Yogurt-Based Gelatos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yogurt-gelato.md) - [CPG-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ice-cream-project-anya-hindmarch.md) - [Asian-Influenced Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sabai-creamery.md) - [Decadent Yogurt Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/decadent-yogurt-snacks.md) - [Japanese-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japanese-inspired-ice-cream.md)
