Article 17: 100 ml Ice Cream: The Rise of Single-Serve Premium Desserts
For decades, ice cream meant large tubs. Today, single-serve cups are one of the fastest-moving formats in premium desserts. The 100 ml serving in particular has an appeal that goes beyond convenience.
Why Small Portions Are Growing
Mindful eating. Consumers want to enjoy dessert without overindulging. A small, complete portion answers that need.
Premium positioning. When a dessert is crafted with quality ingredients, a smaller portion feels intentional and special rather than stingy.
Portion control. Especially relevant for those watching sugar or calories. Paired with a sugar free formulation, a compact serving suits mindful lifestyles.
No sharing, no waste. One person, one serving. No half-finished tub lingering in the freezer.

Benefits for Delivery
Small, sturdy cups travel well and suit the impulse-driven nature of quick commerce. They are easy to pack and to keep cold.
Small Format, Big Quality
A compact serving makes every detail more noticeable: texture, sweetness, flavour balance. That is why single-serve premium desserts demand careful formulation. The base must be smooth from the first spoonful to the last, whether it is dairy or a plant-based option like millet milk.
