Forget elaborate dessert concoctions and 15-step pudding recipes. This summer, freezer chic is back: and these are the gourmet ice creams to start stocking up on.
You’re having a dinner party: you’ve planned the ultimate fresh summer menu, tablescaped, created a mood-enhancing playlist and even designed a signature cocktail. But what are you supposed to serve for dessert?
It’s fair to assume your guests will be expecting a sweet treat of some description, but that doesn’t mean things have to be complicated. In these situations you can turn to your freezer – but we’re not talking about the half-eaten tub of vanilla in the top drawer or rogue choc ice that’s been knocking around for heaven knows how long.
In 2024, gourmet ice cream is absolutely in, from artisan ice cream sandwiches to velvety mochi. Here is our guide to the very best frozen desserts you’ll want to stock up on.
