You can increase the additional sales of your menu with some of these delicious dessert trends.

Don’t forget the nostalgia

What’s old is new again! Childhood favorites and retro classics are making a big comeback. Four out of five consumers said they were interested in nostalgic desserts, but only two out of five operators served them.^* So if you’re looking to get more out of your dessert menu, take a look back in time. Brands like Nestlé® Carnation hark back to the old days very well, offering a creamy texture and luxurious mouthfeel that only grandma could achieve.

Build on popular brands

Popular brands can help sell even more desserts. Consumers are willing to pay more for brand names they know and love. In one survey, consumers rated desserts highly for both purchase intent and uniqueness.* So when you’re making your own special cookie recipe, reach for classic Nestlé® Toll House brand ingredients to give your creation a familiar taste.

It is the season

Your customers are getting used to – and looking forward to – seasonal LTOs. Capitalize on the hype with a classic dessert, like pumpkin pie in the fall. Or go bold and create something that uses seasonal favorites in an exciting new way. LIBBY’S® pumpkin is the perfect ingredient to go wild with. It’s a fall favorite, but can be used in almost anything.

However you serve sweet treats, Nestlé brands make it easy to expand your selection and help increase the profits of your dessert menu.
