# Decadent Summer Ice Creams Häagen-Dazs' 2014 Limited Edition Ice Creams Simplify Fancy Desserts By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-05-12 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limited-edition-ice-cream References: [haagendazs.us](http://www.haagendazs.us/Products/Product/3980) & [haagendazs.us](http://www.haagendazs.us/Products/Product/3979) Just ahead of the summer months, [Häagen-Dazs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hagendazs-ice-cream-bars) is introducing two new limited edition ice cream flavors to its lineup, including 'Midnight Cookies & Cream Ice Cream' and '[Banana Split Ice Cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tillamook-ice-creams).' The Banana Split flavor is made up from a mix of whipped cream ice cream, banana ice cream, chunks of strawberry, cherries and fudge ribbons, which does sound like everything you'd need to make a pretty good banana sundae. In addition to these two limited flavors, there's also a new [limited edition ice cream bar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ben-jerrys-ice-cream-bars1), Pomegranate Dark Chocolate, which sounds equally as delicious. These limited flavors are joining Häagen-Dazs' other seasonal summer flavors like Bourbon Pecan Praline and Peanut Butter Pie, which will be available until September. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Limited Edition Ice Creams:** Opportunity to create buzz and drive sales by releasing exclusive and unique ice cream flavors for a limited time. - **Fancy Desserts Simplification:** Innovative possibilities in simplifying and reimagining gourmet desserts into ice cream flavors to attract a wider audience. - **Seasonal Flavors:** Potential for creating seasonal ice cream flavors to cater to changing consumer preferences and drive product differentiation. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Ice Cream Industry:** Opportunity for ice cream brands to leverage limited edition and seasonal flavors to increase consumer interest and boost sales. - **Dessert Industry:** Disruptive potential in creating ice cream flavors that replicate or reimagine popular fancy desserts, offering convenience and novelty. - **Food and Beverage Industry:** Room for innovation in introducing unconventional flavor combinations and seasonal offerings in the ice cream segment to tap into consumer trends. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Swirled Textural Frozen Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hagendazs-ice-cream-bars.md) - [Decadent Multitextured Ice-Cream Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hagendazs-debuts.md) - [Salty-Sweet Sundaes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salted-brown-butter-cookie-dazzler.md) - [Afternoon Tea-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hagendazs-ice-cream-flavors.md) - [Summer-Enthused Non-Dairy Sorbets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nondairy-sorbets.md) - [Indulgent Frozen Novelties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-haagen-dazs-products.md) - [Blueberry-Themed Ice Cream Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-blueberry-collection.md) - [Dessert Coffee Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salted-caramel-cappuccino-ice-cream.md) - [Festive Dessert Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limited-edition-festive-collection-ice-creams.md)
