FROZEN DESSERTS

This guide can help you find delicious inspiration for new flavors of ice cream, frozen yogurt, and novelties.

Why do seasonal flavors appeal to consumers?

• Frozen desserts infused with in-season flavors create excitement and elevate the taste experience.

• Consumers associate seasonal flavors with freshness, nostalgia, and celebrations. Seasonal items evoke images of being homemade and carry associations with happy memories and tasty treats.

• And limited-time-offers (LTOs) in a season entice consumers to try a flavor that may not be around long-term.

You can attract new customers with seasonal flavors and keep them curious about what’s coming up next!

Sweeten the Summer with Flavor

From the first beach trip through the dog days of summer, consumers look for flavors that refresh and delight.

Summer fruit flavors range from sweet blueberries to tart raspberries and cherries. Summertime memories of lemon ice, toasting marshmallows, and cotton candy can link powerfully with frozen desserts.

Wake up with the Flavors of Spring

When Spring arrives, consumers shake off the weight of winter and begin enjoying sunnier, longer days.

People also start looking for fresher flavors, but nothing too strong or loud. Light, bright, and exciting flavors can draw a crowd and leave them smiling.

Delight in the Flavors of Winter

Winter flavors can be warm and cozy – like gingerbread or cocoa, holiday-bright like peppermint, or add a burst of citrus-y sunshine to a winter day.

While these recommendations have strong links to winter, some flavors like vanilla or orange have year-round appeal.

Savor the Flavors of Fall

Fall is a comforting season marked by the return to school, getting close to family and friends, and preparing for winter.

As the days get shorter and the temperature starts to drop, consumers look for familiar spicier scents and tastes of fall fruits.
