One of the best things about my job is the free ice cream that occasionally gets delivered to my desk by those nice lads from the freezer department. (Well, you wouldn’t want me talking about food I hadn’t tasted would you?)
This week’s special was a ‘Cappuccino organic ice cream’ with little chunks of chocolate – a sweet coffee flavour delightfully punctuated with dark chocolate morsels. I’m afraid I didn’t wait long to note down all my (*cough) professional observations.
The cappuccino ice cream, made by Cream O’Galloway, is just one of a big range of fairtrade and organic iced sensations – as well as the normal flavours they’ve created strawberry pavlova, elderflower, honey & ginger and banana & choc chip genius desserts as well.
Check our online ice cream cabinet for lots more dreamy ice creams for those hot summer days.
Non Dairy Ice Cream
But what if you don’t eat dairy? You don’t have to miss out on delicious after dinner desserts.
Booja Booja, who make amazing vegan chocolate truffles, also make some pretty astounding non dairy ice creams called ‘Stuff in a Tub’.
Other makers include Swedish Glace and Toffuti who make lovely dairy-free and gluten-free flavours. Enjoy a scoop of after dinner mmmm without the fuss.
And I’m excited to say we’re going to stock Worthenshaws Coconuka and Coconice in the near future…
Pop your head into our non dairy freezer section to see if there’s anything to catch your fancy.

I really like Booja Booja, but what a shame that we can’t get Purely Decadent or So Delicious Coconut Milk Ice Cream here in the UK. I tried several flavours while in the States, and they were absolutely fabulous.
I’m watching with fascination the rise of Worthenshaw’s Freedom Ice Cream (as seen on the BBC’s Dragon’s Den) – it’s dairy free coconut based dessert that should be available everywhere from September. A little late for the summer, but as long as it’s giving people what they want.
I too am so sad that you can’t get So Delicious Coconut Milk products here in the UK!! I would love to try the coffee creamer, youghurt and of course the ice creams….
I agree the Freedom ice creams are nice, but I just love anything ‘coconut’, and I think it’s a crying shame that the only non-dairy yoghurts we can get in the UK are soy based.
