# Five-Pound Thanksgiving Pies This Ice Cream Pie is Made of Salted Honey and Cinnamon Ice Cream By Charlotte Joyce Kidd | Published 2015-11-09 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thanksgiving-pie References: [grubstreet](http://www.grubstreet.com/2015/11/ample-hills-ice-cream-pie.html) & [form.jotform](https://form.jotform.com/53024533538957) This decadent Thanksgiving pie weights a full 5.5 pounds, and combines ice cream, salty honey pie and fudge into an unbelievable explosion of flavor. The Thanksgiving pie is an amazing collaboration between Brooklyn-based sweets shops [Four & Twenty](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boozy-baked-apple-pie) Blackbirds and Ample Hills Creamery. The pie, titled 'Walt and the Blackbirds,' starts its journey at Four & Twenty bakery, where its crust is baked and then laden with salty honey filling. Because the honey concoction is so saturated (it contains only 18% water), it doesn't freeze, keeping the bottom layer of the dessert gooey and soft even with the ice cream on top. At Ample Hills Creamery, the salty honey pie is covered with a domed layer of brown sugar cinnamon and oatmeal lace cookie ice cream, drizzled with fudge and sprinkled with sea salt. This Thanksgiving pie is a savory sweet behemoth that will no doubt be the highlight of many New York Thanksgiving dinners. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 60% | 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 - **Decadent Thanksgiving Pies:** Creating over-the-top, indulgent Thanksgiving pies with unique flavor combinations. - **Collaboration Between Bakeries and Ice Cream Shops:** Partnering with bakeries and ice cream shops to create innovative and enticing dessert options. - **Gooey and Soft Frozen Desserts:** Developing frozen desserts that maintain a gooey and soft texture despite being topped with ice cream. ### Where This Applies - **Bakery:** Bakeries can explore collaborations with ice cream shops to create extravagant and unique Thanksgiving pies. - **Ice Cream:** Ice cream shops can partner with bakeries to offer exclusive ice cream pie flavors for the holiday season. - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can experiment with innovative frozen dessert creations that incorporate unique textures and flavors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Autumnal Peanut Butter Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-pies.md) - [Thanksgiving Meal Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salt-straw-thanksgiving-series.md) - [Festive Feast Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thanksgiving-themed-ice-creams.md) - [Seasonal Peanut Butter Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reeses-2.md) - [Modernized Thanksgiving Pie Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crumbl-thanksgiving-pies.md) - [Pie-Inspired Donut Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thanksgiving-pies-doughnut-collection.md) - [Pie-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-summer-pie-series.md) - [Bite-Sized Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bite-sized-pie.md) - [Thanksgiving Dinner Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turkey-day-fixins-ice-cream.md)
