Ice cream doesn’t just have to be a summer treat. For me it’s something to be enjoyed all year round. After a heavy winter’s meal, it’s the ideal sweet to finish off a special meal as it can slip down the edges as it were. It also provides the perfect foil for a hot dessert like a treacle tart or a chocolate fondant pudding. Or team it up with a hot chocolate sauce or even a add it to a hot chocolate drink for a touch of luxury. For me though, I think I like ice cream best served simply, with just a few sprinkles and additions to add a little visual interest and the odd taste sensation.
Here’s my take on a simple, everyday little luxury dessert. I’ve used Kelly’s Clotted Cream Ice Cream which is smooth and creamy. It just tastes like a Cornish summer. I’ve added a few chocolate chunks and finished off with some golden sprinkles. I’ve served the ice cream fairly soft, as I think this is less of a shock in the mouth during the winter. It’s easier to taste all the flavours when the chill has been taken off a bit too.
oooh Kellys cornish ice cream is our favourite! Tesco quite often have it on offer so we stock up! Tim loves ice cream and would eat it everyday!
I’m a big fan of ice cream year round but especially milkshakes!
