Ice Cream’s Not Just For Summer

A Little Luxury For Me –

ice cream in winterIce 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.
