Kiwi Sorbet
Kiwi Sorbet In the lead up to Valentines Day we receive lots of phone calls from chefs asking for unusual flavours for their special menus. One of the flavours we made this year is a particular favourite of mine & is a good illustration of the techniques that make our ice creams & sorbets so special hence this short blog. The first thing once we had sourced our Kiwi fruit (unfortunately they were not locally grown!) was to prepare them, our customer required 10lts of sorbet so we set about paring 100 kiwis, that’s 10 Kiwis in every litre of sorbet to give it real natural flavour & colour. The Kiwi is then blended & added to syrup of water, sugars & natural pectin to give it body. The mixture is then churned & frozen down to around -5, packed into tubs & frozen further down to -22Deg C. And there you have it, no artificial flavours, colours or overcomplicated processes just a delicious sorbet bursting with natural flavour &...
Read MoreRum & Raisin Ice Cream
Rum & Raisin Ice Cream In our Rum & Raisin Ice Cream, we use only the finest plump California Raisins that have been slowly dried in the heat of the California Sun. The raw sugars of the grape become caramelised in the drying process, offering an incomparably sweet, rich and deep flavour. We drench these choice raisins in real Dark Jamaica Rum and allow them to time to soak, offering layer upon layer of aromatic sweet caramel and alcoholic spice. The Dark Jamaica Rum and juicy, booze spiked California Raisins are folded in to our smooth and creamy Ice Cream base, made with fresh, locally sourced whole milk & double cream; creating a delicate, intricately flavoured Ice Cream with juicy bursts of fruit. We don’t add any other flavours to our Rum & Raisin Ice Cream. Simply great ingredients, sourced responsibly and treated with care.

Read MoreHoneycomb Ice Cream
Honeycomb Ice Cream puts a real summery slant on this classic sweet, so often nibbled round a bonfire in the autumnal air or prettily packaged and tied with a bow at Christmas. That said, I can’t think of much better than a large scoop of Honeycomb Ice Cream with a Hot Apple Crumble on a frosty day! We make our traditional Cinder Toffee Honeycomb from scratch, using a Light Muscovado, melted with Molasses and simmered gently. A sprinkle of bicarb is added and magic ensues, with an amber upsurge of sugary bubbles! The molten mixture is then poured in to trays to cool in to a brittle yet delightfully airy and melt in the mouth confection. We blend our crumbled honeycomb with a rich, creamy and delicately bittersweet Treacle Ice Cream base made from Fresh, Local Double Cream and Whole Milk. Honeycomb Ice Cream available in: 2lt Catering Containers 4.5lt Napoli Scooping Trays For more information you can contact us at the Ice Cream Factory on 01603 633127.
