ACTIONABLE INSIGHTS

Premium Experiences

Consumers are increasingly seeking premium, restaurant-quality experiences made from real ingredients beyond their own kitchen. Premium desserts not only enhance the dining experience for guests but tap into the need for indulgences and experiences that they cannot replicate at home.

Dessert Snacking

When evaluating a consumer’s last dessert occasion, 56% were eaten as snacks. Desserts that are most suited for snacking, such as brownies, bars, cookies, and individually portioned cakes, saw the greatest sales increases on menus over the last year. Offer snackable desserts that give consumers permission to indulge, whether that’s conveniently packaged or perfectly plated.

Seasonal Relevance & Nostalgia

Almost half of all consumers look forward to seasonally-relevant/limited-time dessert offerings at restaurants.  And, with dessert LTOs returning to pre-pandemic levels, bringing a festive or nostalgic favorite can drive relevance and excitement. 

Signature & Social

Food that is visually appealing and evokes an experience worthy of sharing continues to rise on platforms like Instagram and TikTok. Since dessert can be an art form, try a unique twist on the familiar with our culinary application ideas, or let us create a compelling signature item to gain consumer attention on your menu.
