National Ice Cream Month: Fun Flavors & Cool Treat Trends
July is National Ice Cream Month, and there’s no better time to cool off in the most delicious way. These flavor trends and treat ideas are taking the dessert world by storm.
This summer, ice cream gets a creative makeover, featuring flavor mashups and fun formats. We’ve got five cool trends for you to try this month.
Global-Inspired FlavorsThink ube, matcha, tahini, or Mexican hot chocolate. These worldly flavors bring bold, unexpected twists to traditional scoops.
Plant-Based CreaminessDairy-free doesn’t mean dull—oat, coconut, and cashew milk bases are rich and indulgent. Even die-hard dairy fans are loving the variety.
Savory-Sweet CombosSalty pretzel, olive oil, and cheese-inspired flavors are popping up in artisanal shops. These unique pairings are perfect for adventurous palates.
Ice Cream Sandwiches ReimaginedGourmet cookie sandwiches, mochi wraps, and waffle-based creations are elevating this classic treat. They’re portable, photo-worthy, and full of texture.
Toppings TakeoverFrom edible glitter to spicy honey drizzle, toppings are taking center stage. Mix-and-match options let everyone customize their dream sundae.
Whether you opt for a classic or creative option, July is the perfect excuse to indulge in a frozen favorite.
