Taste the heatwave: 3 hot ice cream 🍦trends this summer

There's no denying that summer is one of the best seasons of the year. But as much as we all love the weather, the beach, and the chance to break out our summer wardrobe, the heat can be unbearable. That's why when the temperature starts to rise, we look for ways to cool down. And one of the most popular ways to do that is with ice cream.

In the last few months, we've seen a surge in popularity for ice cream-related searches on Google, with three of the most popular search terms being mochi ice cream, hojicha ice cream, and homemade ice cream. If you’re not familiar, mochi is a Japanese dessert where sweet rice flour dough is filled with premium ice cream. Another Japanese staple, hojicha is a roasted green tea used to flavor more of a traditional style of ice cream, giving it a sweet and smokey character with notes of cocoa.

It's no surprise that people begin clamoring for these delicious treats as the mercury rises. After all, what could be better than a cold, sweet treat on a hot summer day?
