The Vanilla Bean, Chocolate and Strawberry varieties only need half-and-half to be added with an electric stand mixer or a hand mixer, not an [ice cream maker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classic-ice-cream-making), and no hand-churning is necessary. In fact, the process of making the ice cream at home is so simple, the brand calls it "EZ-Freezy." With these mixes, making ice cream can become a fun and rewarding family activity. To accompany the decadent [DIY ice cream mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/softserve-ice-cream-pouches), the brand also introduced Hot Fudge and Salted Butterscotch sauce mixes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 16% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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 - **Shelf-stable Mixes:** Opportunity for other perishable goods to offer shelf-stable alternatives through mixes or sauces. - **DIY Food:** Opportunity to create more DIY food products that can be made at home without special appliances. - **Family Activity Food:** Opportunity to create food products that can be enjoyed as fun family activities with simple preparation processes. ### Where This Applies - **Food Products:** Opportunity for food companies to create simple DIY products that can be made at home without special appliances. - **Consumer Goods:** Opportunity for consumer goods companies to create shelf-stable versions of perishable goods through mixes or sauces. - **Recreational Products:** Opportunity for makers of recreational products to create food products that can be enjoyed as fun family activities with simple preparation processes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ice Cream Maker Wands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fastfreeze-ice-cream-maker.md) - [Grab-and-Go Ice Cream Pouches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-cream-pouches.md) - [At-Home Soft-Serve Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourmia-softsnap.md) - [Automated Ice Cream Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/homemade-ice-cream-machine.md) - [Hassle-Free Ice Cream Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuisinart-solo-scoops-ice-cream-maker.md) - [Portable Ice Cream Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocinare-krush.md) - [Swirl-Textured Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sundae-swirls.md) - [Indulgent Spoonable Sundaes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ben-jerrys-sundaes2.md) - [Dual-Purpose Ice Cream Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soffice.md)
