Delicious ice cream and sorbets made with adults in mind

Research shows that luxury ice cream sales have rocketed during the pandemic, as people look to treat themselves with high-end comfort desserts. Here are a few of our favourites for you to try:

SPECIALTY FLAVOUR

This ice cream conjures up thoughts of a British afternoon tea with its caramelised brown bread flavour. This flavoured ice cream is one of its most popular flavours in London. It has a moreish, fruity and sweet bread taste and is definitely worth a lick! You can find Simply Ice Cream in selected Waitrose, Co-op and Morrisons,

Farm Shops, Pubs, Tea Rooms, and restaurants across Kent, Sussex, Essex,

Surrey and London. £5.50 per 500ml pot | www.simplyicecream.co.uk

BACK TO ITALIAN ROOTS

Hackney Gelato has gone back to their roots with its latest creation. Made with fresh milk and cream, the new Chocolate & Roasted Hazelnut Gelato is a dark chocolate gelato rippled with roasted Piedmont hazelnuts from northern Italy and a sprinkle of sea salt. It’s Hackney Gelato’s affectionate take on the classic Italian flavour Bacio and brings together two of their most in-demand flavours. Their Hazelnut Gelato – made exclusively for restaurants – is hugely popular among high-end chefs in the capital while its Dark Chocolate Sorbetto is the biggest seller and the highest-rated plant-based ice cream on Ocado. So, what better than to combine the best elements of both into this rich, creamy and intensely nutty blend!

Hackney Gelato makes everything by hand in small batches in their East London kitchen, and it’s available nationwide on Ocado, and in Whole Foods Market stores around London. £5.49, 500ml | Chocolate & Roasted Hazelnut Gelato | www.hackneygelato.com
