For years now people have used Nutella as a topping on their ice cream, so it was about time that the American ice cream retailer teamed up with the iconic Italian company to make a marketable item. Now, there is no need for the added effort or a sticky mess, because each ice cream infuses the spread during the churning process . You can throw your summer diet out the window, because this drool-worthy line consists of soft serve ice cream, hand-scooped chocolate ice cream that's layered with the spread and [Carvel Crunchies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/softserve-treats) and two types of Nutella sundaes. However, you better act quick because they are only available until the end of September. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 19% | 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 - **Nutella Infused Products:** Infusing Nutella into different products can be a disruptive innovation opportunity in the food industry. - **Collaboration Between Brands:** More collaboration between two popular brands like Carvel and Nutella can lead to new marketable items in the food industry. - **Limited Edition Offerings:** Limited edition offerings like Carvel's Nutella line can be a disruptive marketing strategy in the ice cream industry. ### Where This Applies - **Ice Cream:** Combining different flavors and ingredients like Nutella can create innovative products in the ice cream industry. - **Breakfast Foods:** Incorporating Nutella into breakfast foods like pancakes, waffles, and cereal can be a potentially disruptive innovation opportunity in the food industry. - **Snacks:** Mixing Nutella with snacks like pretzels, popcorn, and trail mix can create new disruptive products in the snack industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hazelnut Ice Cream Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wells-ice-cream.md) - [Seasonal Candy-Infused Frozen Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/softserve-treats.md) - [Hybrid Brownie Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brookie-ice-cream.md) - [Chocolate Spread-Topped Lattes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hazelnut-mocha-latte-topped-with-nutella.md) - [Decadent Nutty Spreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nutella-peanut.md) - [Collaboration Cookie-Flavored Frozen Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carvel-and-biscoff-cookie.md) - [Campfire-Themed Marshmallow Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carvel-2.md) - [Chocolate Hazelnut Frozen Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woolworths.md) - [Frozen Candy Bar Confections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-bar-ice-cream.md)
