The idea originated with the desire to combine bar-styled food with dessert-infused flavors. The idea of sweet and salty is not new, however, the Lay's Original ice cream dessert is. The process begins by turning [Lay's plain and salty chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lays-potato-chips) into custard. Then, an ale-infused gelato is made. Combined with a topping of crushed pretzels, the sweet and salty dessert is a new way to satisfy all flavor cravings. The end result is a smooth and crunchy dessert that fuses sweet ice cream with a subtly salty undertone. Lay's potato chips add the perfect amount of salt and familiar flavor to each dish. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sweet and Salty Desserts:** The trend of combining sweet and salty flavors in desserts creates innovative taste experiences. - **Bar-style Desserts:** Creating desserts infused with bar-styled food elements opens up new culinary possibilities. - **Flavored Chip-centric Desserts:** Incorporating flavored chips as a key ingredient in desserts introduces unique and unexpected flavor profiles. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can explore new product offerings by incorporating sweet and salty combinations in desserts. - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can differentiate its dessert menus by introducing unique bar-style dessert options. - **Snack Foods:** The snack food industry can leverage flavored chips to create innovative desserts, offering consumers exciting flavor experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sweetened Potato Chip Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lays-sweet-salty-dipped-clusters.md) - [Potato-Packed Ice Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/french-fry-pops.md) - [CPG-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ice-cream-project-anya-hindmarch.md) - [Delectable Frozen Cookie Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dolly-llama.md) - [Chip-Created Mashed Potatoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lays-potato-chip-to-potato-dish.md) - [Sweet Breakfast-Inspired Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ihop-4.md) - [Ultra-Fresh Potato Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festival-of-flavor.md) - [Regionally Inspired Potato Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lays-flavor-that-hits-home.md) - [Multi-Layered Potato Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lays-layers.md)
