# Spice-Sprinkled Ice Creams These Chinese Five Spice Ice Cream Literally Blends Sugar and Spice By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2016-08-22 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spice-ice-cream References: [sugarandsoul.co](http://www.sugarandsoul.co/2016/07/no-churn-chinese-five-spice-ice-cream-recipe.html) & [sugarandsoul.co](http://www.sugarandsoul.co/2016/07/no-churn-chinese-five-spice-ice-cream-recipe.html) The idea of a Chinese Five Spice ice cream understandably sounds weird at first, but the fact of the matter is that some of those five spices -- anise, cinnamon, cloves, fennel seeds and white pepper -- are commonly found as individual ice cream ingredients, so all this recipe does is bring them all together. To make this ice cream, simply start by beating heavy cream before mixing in sweet condensed milk and blending in your Chinese Five Spice. Then pour your unique mixture into a pan and freeze so that it hardens. This Chinese Five Spice ice cream is a surprisingly delectable creation that promises all the delicate indulgence of regular ice cream but with an added Oriental twist that is unbelievably palatable. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.3/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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 - **Spice-infused Desserts:** Expanding on the popularity of unique flavor combinations, incorporating spices into traditional desserts creates innovative taste experiences. - **Culinary Fusion:** Blending different culinary traditions and ingredients, such as Chinese Five Spice in ice cream, creates new and exciting dishes that appeal to adventurous eaters. - **Alternative Ice Cream Flavors:** Moving away from traditional flavors, experimenting with unconventional combinations, like Chinese Five Spice, appeals to consumers seeking novel taste sensations. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Incorporating spices into desserts presents an opportunity for innovative product development, particularly within the ice cream market. - **Culinary Arts:** Chefs and food entrepreneurs can explore incorporating spices from different cultures to create unique and memorable dishes that stand out in the culinary world. - **Hospitality:** Restaurants and hotels can attract adventurous diners by offering spice-infused desserts as a way to differentiate their menus and provide a unique dining experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spicy Pepper Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cafehto.md) - [Chili Spiced Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skyline-spice-ice-cream.md) - [Asian-Influenced Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sabai-creamery.md) - [Soy Sauce Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soy-sauce-ice-creams.md) - [Spiced Cinnamon Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pierres-ice-cream.md) - [Spicy Chili Sundaes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-milk-sundae.md) - [Hot Honey Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-honey-ice-cream.md) - [Hot Sauce-Infused Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lia-lupita-and-double-rainbow.md) - [Asian-Flavored Ice Cream Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asianflavored-ice-cream.md)
