New Forest Ice Cream reveals 2022 Christmas line-up

While many consumers are still making the most of the final days of summer, behind the scenes of the hospitality industry, festive menu planning is well underway. Whether operators are preparing for the big day, hosting Christmas parties or just simply adding a festive twist to menus, Christmas celebrations would not be complete without the latest seasonal ice cream flavours.

Whether served as an accompaniment, a lighter dessert, an amuse-bouche or even a palate cleanser between courses, New Forest Ice Cream’s Festive selection has a full range of flavours and types to cater for every occasion and every course.

From rich flavours like Chocolate Orange Ice Cream, through to dairy free options such as Redcurrant sorbet, as well as warming favourites including Mince Pie Ice Cream, New Forest has a variety to excite this festive period. And, for those looking to add dazzle and sophistication to a menu, celebratory Champagne sorbet and Gin & Pink Grapefruit sorbet are sure to do just that. Each of the flavours in the festive range is made from a traditional family recipe and produced in a nut-free environment.

Chocolate Orange – Provide the taste of everyone’s favourite stocking filler with a rich, creamy and smooth chocolate orange dairy ice cream base that is interlaced with a vibrant ripple of zesty orange delight.

Redcurrant Sorbet – Dairy-free diners won’t feel left out with Redcurrant sorbet available on menus. Bursting with the sweet and tart flavours of the red berries, it is as ideal as an accompaniment to a dessert as it is as a lighter dessert option.

Mince Pie - Mince Pies signify the heart of British Christmas time. The ice cream features a brandy base combined with real pieces of shortcake pastry and mincemeat, giving that warming winter feel coupled with the indulgent taste of double cream.

Gin and Pink Grapefruit sorbet – Made using Twisted Nose Gin, which is distilled locally in Winchester, this sorbet is another that’s perfect to mark a celebration. The gin base is cut with a subtle pink grapefruit flavour for a refreshing yet energising sorbet.

Champagne Sorbet - A sweet yet sophisticated sorbet made with real champagne.

Vanilla Pod – Made with double cream, this classic vanilla ice cream with Madagascan Vanilla Pod Seeds perfectly complements rich Christmas desserts.

Christina Veal, Director, New Forest Ice Cream comments:

“To continue those sizzling summer sales, it is crucial for operators to have a successful festive period. There is a huge amount of pressure at Christmas and some of this can be relieved by simply sourcing special ingredients that can really add the wow factor. With so much preparation to think about, it can save valuable time by having key products to hand to complete a dessert menu. A scoop of rich ice cream or a delicate sorbet is such a simple way to transform a dessert into a real Christmas treat.”
