While ice cream is already a beloved warm-weather treat, this futuristic parlor puts a creative twist on the chilled dessert. Four Winters aims to tap into the growing demand for [made-to-order ice cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ottolenghi-ice-cream) by offering delicious [flavor combinations such as afternoon tea](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bakery-ice-creams), spicy honey brittle and strawberry lavender. Additionally, the store will freeze each customer's ice cream on the spot by using liquid nitrogen. The addition of the colorless and odorless liquid gives the dish a smooth and delicate texture that differentiates it from traditional ice cream. The liquid nitrogen ice cream parlor demonstrates how brands are giving traditional treats a modern update with the use of unique technology. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: 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 - **Liquid Nitrogen Desserts:** The trend of using liquid nitrogen in desserts presents opportunities for innovative flavor combinations and unique texture experiences. - **Made-to-order Ice Cream:** The trend of made-to-order ice cream caters to the demand for personalized dessert experiences and allows for creative flavor customization. - **Futuristic Dessert Concepts:** The trend of creating futuristic dessert concepts through the use of innovative technology offers opportunities for unique branding and customer experiences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can capitalize on this trend by offering liquid nitrogen desserts and experimenting with new flavor combinations. - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can embrace the trend of liquid nitrogen desserts to enhance dining experiences and differentiate their offerings from competitors. - **Technology:** The technology industry can explore opportunities to develop new tools and equipment for creating liquid nitrogen desserts, enabling chefs and businesses to expand their menu offerings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Festive Flash-Frozen Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chilln-nitrogen-ice-cream.md) - [Frozen Shortcake Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creamistrys-strawberry-shortcake.md) - [Nitro Mint Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peppermint-bark-ice-cream.md) - [Boozy Ice Cream Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-cream-pop-up.md) - [Automated Ice Cream Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-coldsnap.md) - [Italy-Sourced Ice Cream Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milk-chocolate-italian-roasted-hazelnut.md) - [Unconventional Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ice-cream-project.md) - [Regional Ingredient Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuii-ice-cream.md) - [Cookie Cone Frozen Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/extrme-ice-cream.md)
