This globally inspired autumnal frozen dessert urges people to "forget pumpkin pie" for a "pleasant departure form the norm this time of year." The ice cream blend is made with roasted kabocha pumpkins and familiar fall spices such as cardamom, coriander and ginger, plus a few potent Thai spices to pack a punch of exoticism and spiciness. As this ice cream is part spicy, sweet and savory, it's like a much more intriguing take on pumpkin pie flavors. As this is not the only [unusual ice cream flavor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skyline-spice-ice-cream) prepared by Jeni's, the brand recommends pairing a scoop of Thai Curry Pumpkin with a serving of Sweet Potato Eclair and Darkest Chocolate. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 44% | 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Globally-inspired Ice Cream Flavors:** Creating interesting ice cream flavors inspired by global cuisine can be a disruptive innovation opportunity for ice cream makers. - **Savory Sweet Taste Combinations:** Mixing savory and sweet flavors in food products can be a disruptive innovation opportunity for the food industry. - **Seasonal-flavored Desserts:** Developing seasonal dessert flavors can be a disruptive innovation opportunity for dessert makers. ### Where This Applies - **Ice Cream Industry:** Incorporating global flavors and exotic spices into ice cream products can be a disruptive innovation opportunity for the ice cream industry. - **Food Industry:** Developing food products that mix savory and sweet flavors can be a disruptive innovation opportunity for the food industry. - **Dessert Industry:** Creating unique seasonal dessert flavors can be a disruptive innovation opportunity for the dessert industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artisanal Seasonal Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fall-flavor-ice-creams.md) - [Sweet Potato Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-potato-marshmallow-brulee.md) - [Chili Crisp Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spice-cream-collection.md) - [Seasonal Iced Pumpkin Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-cheesecake-ice.md) - [Asian-Influenced Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sabai-creamery.md) - [Fall-Ready Ice Cream Flavors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-spice-ice-cream-1.md) - [Extravagant Holiday Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-creams-for-the-holidays.md) - [Autumnal Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-harvest-festival-series.md) - [Pumpkin Pie Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-in-the-sky-creation.md)
