Dessert flavours aren't slowing down...
The flavour trend that just isn’t going away. Dessert flavours of all tastes and senses have been a staple in new flavour ranges for a while now.
We first highlighted the growing trend of dessert flavours back in our Flavour Trend Report in 2021. Since then we have been building up our natural flavour range with the tastiest and most indulgent dessert flavours.
Constantly evolving flavour trends
What’s great about the dessert flavour trend is that the flavours just keep on coming. Every week we are seeing new interesting dessert flavour profiles popping up. We also love the idea of switching up classic desserts to put your own special twist on them. We highlighted this with our Newfound Nostalgia flavour trend this year.
Dessert flavours across all food and beverage sectors.
No sector will be left out here. From bakery and ice cream, to sports nutrition and soft drinks. One of our favourite twists is getting these flavours into beer, a trend that is growing and growing.
One of the most interesting trends within the dessert flavours market is the use of indulgent flavours in healthy products. We are increasingly seeing these flavours in sports powders and fitness drinks. Not to mention vitamin and collagen mixes.
Our favourite dessert flavours.
We’ve got so many dessert flavours, we can’t shine a spotlight on them all, so we decided to highlight our absolute favourites that we think you need to try. Check them out below:
Baklava Natural Flavour
This might just be one of the fastest growing flavours out there at the moment. We are seeing it pop up all over dessert menus.
It’s been growing a steady +23% YoY with no signs of slowing down.
Sweet honey, buttery pastry with complex nutty flavour. What’s even better? The flavour is completely allergen-free.
Eton Mess Natural Flavour
A true classic. What more can we say about this classic British dessert?
Strawberries, cream and baked meringue. Yes please. We can’t get enough, and neither will you.
A flavour that will never go out of style.
Basque Cheesecake Natural Flavour
Move over New York, it’s time for Basque Country. Cheesecake done Spanish style.
What’s a Basque Cheesecake you ask? Take a classic cheesecake, mix it with some crème brûlée and you won’t be far away.
Stacked with crème caramel-style bittersweet notes topped with rich cream. Wow.
Pecan Pie Natural Flavour
Ah, pecan pie. Sweet, sweet pecan pie.
We’ve got our friends from across the pond in the United States to thank for this tasty number.
Heaps of buttery goodness, with the glorious flavour of sweet roasted pecans. And it’s all absolutely nut-free.
