Food blogger The House That Lars Built teaches you how to make this dessert sushi at home. To make this unconventionally sweet dessert sushi, begin by picking up some [chocolate chip cookie dough](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookie-dough-skillet), several [ice cream flavors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banana-tree-soy-sauce-ice-cream) and sprinkle toppings. Flatten the cookie dough out into a rectangle and scoop a thin layer of ice cream overtop. Roll the dough like a roll of sushi into a cylinder and cover it with sprinkles. Then refreeze the cookie dough so that the ice cream doesn't met. When you're ready to eat, pull the cookie dough cylinder from the fridge, slice it into thin rings and serve with chopsticks. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - 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 - **Sweet Dessert Sushi:** The trend of creating dessert sushi by substituting rice rolls with cookie dough and ice cream opens up opportunities for creative confectioners to innovate and experiment with unique flavor combinations. - **Alternative Sushi Recipes:** The rising popularity of unconventional sushi recipes like dessert sushi presents an opportunity for food enthusiasts to explore and create new variations using different ingredients. - **DIY Food Creations:** The trend of making dessert sushi at home using readily available ingredients allows for the emergence of DIY food creation kits and tutorials to cater to the growing demand for unique culinary experiences. ### Where This Applies - **Dessert Confectionery:** The dessert sushi trend presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the dessert confectionery industry to create and market innovative sweet treats that appeal to sushi lovers and dessert enthusiasts. - **Ice Cream Industry:** The substitution of rice with ice cream in dessert sushi creates an opportunity for the ice cream industry to introduce new ice cream flavors and expand its customer base by targeting sushi fans who have a sweet tooth. - **Food Blogging and Instructional Cooking:** The popularity of dessert sushi recipes on platforms like blogs and social media presents an opportunity for food bloggers and instructional cooking brands to create engaging content, recipe videos, and cooking classes centered around experimenting with dessert sushi. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bread-Based Sushi Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doughmakase.md) - [Dessert-Centric Temaki Sushis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mochi-ice-cream-temakis.md) - [Convenient Sushi Bakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sushi-bakes.md) - [Oven-Ready Sushi Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crushi.md) - [Creamy Dessert-Style Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marks-spencer-dessert-sandwich.md) - [Sushi Chain Chocolate Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-thunder.md) - [Chewy Cookie Dough Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookie-dough-mochi-ice-cream.md) - [Donut-Shaped Frozen Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/donut-dessert-bars.md) - [Gourmet Frozen Cookie Dough](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doughpamine.md)
