Packages Its Desserts in Reusable Ceramic Containers By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-07-16 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pots-co References: [potsandco](http://www.potsandco.com/) & [potsandco](http://www.potsandco.com/) Pots & Co. makes an assortment of [single-serve desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salted-pistachio-cheesecake) in the form of [custards and puddings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-custard) that are packaged and served in reusable [ceramic containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-fermiere). These gluten-free and vegetarian-friendly dairy desserts offer an upscale way to serve dessert. Because each pot is ceramic, they can be stored chilled in the fridge and individually added to the oven for heating. Once the desserts have been consumed, the ramekins can simply be washed and used for heating other desserts or other purposes. Pots & Co. suggests using the small bowls to grow seedlings, store jewelry or hold tea lights. The Vanilla & Chocolate Pot was named the Best Dairy Dessert at this year's World Dairy Innovation Awards. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Reusable Ceramic Packaging:** Businesses can innovate by using eco-friendly and reusable ceramic packaging to minimize single-use waste. - **Single-serve Desserts:** There is an opportunity to innovate in the dessert industry by offering unique and upscale single-serve options. - **Multi-purpose Ramekins:** Ramekins that can be washed and used for other purposes can offer consumers added value and reduce waste. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Dessert Manufacturing:** Dessert companies can explore using reusable ceramic containers for their products. - **Kitchenware:** Companies in the kitchenware industry can create multi-purpose ramekins that can be used for cooking and other purposes. - **Sustainability:** Companies that focus on sustainability can promote the use of eco-friendly and reusable packaging in various industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Plant-Based Dessert Jars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-dessert-jar.md) - [Rice Pudding Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vanilla-rice-pudding.md) - [Ready-to-Eat Ganache Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pots-co-ganache-pots.md) - [Pot-Style French Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petit-pot.md) - [Prepackaged Patisserie Dessert Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rians-patisseries-desserts.md) - [Portable Dessert Jars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grab-and-go-desserts.md) - [Handcrafted Ganache Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-ganache-products.md) - [Plant-Based Coconut Dessert Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-coconut-collab.md) - [Classic Dessert-Inspired Cake Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/g-dessert.md)
