This is the dessert trend of 2025, and lots of people find it disgusting

kaasijs

Do you always save room for dessert too? A dessert that matches your zodiac sign or the most popular dessert from your birth year? Or are you up for something new? Something savory and ice-cold? Then the new dessert trend of 2025 might be something you’ll actually enjoy. Most people want nothing to do with it, though. What is the trend? Cheese ice cream! In four different flavors.

Confession: I once ate ice cream made from Portuguese sheep’s cheese. It was so intense in flavor, so strong… I didn’t like it at all. But ice cream made from goat cheese? I even had two scoops of that. Deliciously fresh and creamy!

Food: sensitive to trends

Cheese ice cream is not new. In English ice cream parlors, for example, you’ve been able to buy Stilton ice cream for ages. It does belong in the list of the weirdest ice cream flavors in the world… But hey, just like fashion, food is also highly subject to trends. Something that was considered hideously ugly two years ago can suddenly be fashionable AF again (rumor has it skinny jeans are making a comeback; just saying).

Okay, so cheese ice cream…

What can you expect? Agnoli, the innovative ice cream producer specializing in artisanal ice cream for the hospitality industry, has the culinary scoop. Four flavors will adorn many a dessert menu: aged Dutch cheese, Parmesan, Gorgonzola and Italian goat cheese. The first is creamy ice cream with the rich, savory flavor of aged cheese. Delicious with a piece of nut bread. Parmesan cheese ice cream doesn’t even necessarily have to be dessert; the ice cream’s full, nutty flavor is a perfect balance between salty and creamy and can also be served alongside a risotto. 

Gorgonzola ice cream or goat cheese ice cream?

Gorgonzola ice cream? This is for the real daredevils. Its pronounced flavor is spicy and salty. I recently had it in a cone and was pleasantly surprised. It’s best eaten with something sweet, such as honey or figs. I predict goat cheese ice cream will be the easiest for most people to stomach. The subtle, creamy ice cream with its fresh, slightly tart flavor… you could even drink champagne with it!

So put your initial disgust aside and give cheese ice cream a try! (Unless you still want to fit into those incredibly tight jeans..)
