AMAZING
1st BROWN BREAD ICECREAM
Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, London
I wouldn’t have thought bread would be a good icecream flavour, but this was incredible. Rich toasty flavours in an impossibly silky icecream.
2nd ELVIS THE FAT YEARS
Gelato Messina Penrith, Penrith
Amazing - Peanutbutter #gelato with fried brioche pieces and banana jam
3rd BURNT BUTTER CARAMEL ICE CREAM
Chin Chin Labs, London
Phenomenal. Such a complex flavour, silky smooth. I got the “almond sand” and “cinnamon toast” toppings. The former was delicious, the latter a bit “meh” but wow that ice cream I would have enjoyed on its own. Lush.
4th TOASTED FLOUR ICECREAM WITH RED WINE SAUCE
La Marmita, Punta Arenas
Such an unusual flavour for ice cream but like everything else we tried at this restaurant - simply stunning.
5th ALFAJORES
Gelato Messina Penrith, Penrith
Another fantastic “special” flavour: milk chocolate gelato, studded with the eponymous Alfajores biscuits (think shortbread + dulce de leche) Outstanding!
6th GIN AND TONIC SORBET
Kent Life, Maidstone
Delicious! So refreshing and really tasted of G&T.
REALLY GOOD
7th SALTED CARAMEL ICE CREAM
Kent Life, Maidstone
Kent life host an ice cream festival every year and today was the day! This is the Kelly salted caramel ice cream. Rich and creamy, delicious swirls of caramel sauce and some fudgy pieces.
8th PANETTONE AND RUM
La Gelatiera, London
A lovely, festive flavour that was a delight to eat (I do love Panettone though!) #gelato
9th GELATO TO THE RESCUE
Gelato Messina Penrith, Penrith
The other flavour featured here - it’s banana bread ice cream with cream cheese frosting and candies walnuts. I didn’t like it quite as much as Elvis the Fat Years (I forgot that I dislike walnuts) but it was still pretty good!
PRETTY GOOD
10th RUM AND RAISIN ICE CREAM
Woodcote Green Garden Centre & Nurseries, Wallington
A nice texture, but I can’t taste any rum flavour...
11th HONEY, ROSEMARY AND ORANGE ZEST
La Gelatiera, London
The lower flavour on this cone. It was alright, but milkier than I was expecting (I thought it would be a brighter, zestier flavour) #gelato
12th DR EVIL
Gelato Messina Penrith, Penrith
The flavour hiding underneath - dark chocolate gelato with Peanutbutter cookies + caramel - at least that’s what the sign said. I couldn’t taste the caramel at all and the Peanutbutter cookies were also dwarfed by the dark chocolate gelato. Not awful by any means, but not amazing.
