Top Ten Dessert Trends

The Food Channel is reporting on the top ten current dessert trends:

1. Ice cream at centre stage
   
2. Sippable desserts, such as iced alcoholic drinks
   
3. Shared desserts, including mini-dessert platters
4. Out-of-the-ordinary presentations, like desserts that are built at the table
   
5. Interactivity – food you can play with, like chocolate fondue or build-your-own sundaes
6. Nostalgia, as in the old-fashioned banana split or rice pudding
7. Portable desserts
8. Novelties
9. International and unusual flavours (green tea ice cream, chai shortbread)
10. Seasonal and local foods
