Dessert-tech - What are the Options?

Desert-tech is a fast growing market, with plenty of new ideas trending as well as some wonderfully creative and already established offerings. Some of the enticing options for you to choose from include ice-cream innovation (such as charcoal soft serve or nitrogen cooled product made right in front of you),  and intelligent ovens that speed up the cookie-making process to give you the perfect bite every time. The availability of these delicacies means you can indulge, not just on special occasions, but anytime you want, from the creamiest variation of a soft serve ice cream or an ingenious Panna Cotta Mix, to vegetarian and vegan treats. Here are the three best options trending right now:-

• Ice Cream with Probiotics:  This health trend is not just a fad, it combines the indulgence of a soft serve treat with the activity of ‘good’ bacteria to rejuvenate gut health and provide an immune system boost.  Probiotics can also be added to drinks, smoothies and thick shakes for a similar effect. In today's Covid environment it makes sense to look after your health as well as treating yourself.
• 3D Food Printing: This printing trend is being embraced by pastry chefs and ice cream companies alike. With the help of certain computer modelling software to create intricate cake moulds and customised edible popsicles out of literally anything, the possibilities are endless. The best part is that they can be formed to make any shape.
• Dessert Meal Subscription Kits: Now this is bound to make all those of you who have a sweet tooth listen up. There are home food subscription services that give you various options for ready-to-bake kits. For those with limited knowledge of baking, or access to the right ingredients, this is a winner. With a repertoire of all kinds of brownies and biscuits, you will only need to add eggs milk and butter.​

The dessert-tech trend has been around a little while, but rest assured that the best is yet to come so keep an eye out for more creative ideas coming. Another one to look out for is the home chocolate market which represents a huge opportunity that is waiting to be harvested. If desserts are the final frontier then we want to be out there exploring!
