ADULT BEVERAGE FLAVORS
From Stout Brownies to hints of Whiskey in Pecan Pie, alcohol flavors are a growing trend. With so many consumers shifting away from true alcohol and shifting towards mocktails—the canvas is open for a new adulting treat.

HERBAL, FLORAL & SAVORY
Herbs more common in savory cooking are now being used in Sweet applications. Floral notes such as Lavender, Hibiscus and Rose are trending and on the rise. Conversely, herbs and veggies that normally would be re-served for savory dishes continue to have their moment in desserts—think cornbread ice cream, rosemary shortbread, and garlic & herb cheesecake.

ITEMS AS A FLAVOR
Many trending flavors started out as items on a menu themselves. S’mores would be the starting point but think of how many other dessert items have created their own trend: New York Cheesecake, Churro, Cinnamon Roll, Chai Tea—all can now be found as flavors in several other dessert categories other than the one they started.
