An interesting fact – Russians eat ice cream in the winter to warm up!<\/p>\n
During the winter months we tend to only eat warm casseroles and hearty soups. One of our nation\u2019s best loved dessert is left out in the cold due to its frosty reputation. This winter why not try some different ice cream combinations?<\/p>\n
One scoop of Ice cream compliments any hot pie dessert. In fact it has its own name \u2018pie \u00e0 la Mode\u2019. Pie \u00e0 la Mode is a simple dish to prepare and compliments any Sunday roast or coffee if you fancy a mid-morning snack.<\/p>\n
Affogato is an Italian classic. To make affogato drench a couple of scoops of vanilla ice cream with a cup of strong coffee. \u201cAffogato\u201d means \u201cdrowned\u201d. This dish could easily be made fun with a shot of Bailey\u2019s mixed into the coffee before drenching the ice cream.<\/p>\n
No Christmas is complete without Christmas pudding. Adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream can turn a regular Christmas pudding into a culinary delight or why not have a go at making your own brandy butter ice cream. Another option would be making a Christmas pudding from ice cream. The BBC Goodfood recipe<\/a> for this dessert is one of the best we\u2019ve come across.<\/p>\n The ice cream sandwich. Simple and easy to create, all that is required is ice cream, either 2 wafers, 2 cookies or 2 similar biscuits. Adding sauces to taste or fruits can make your ice cream sandwich a healthy option.<\/p>\n If the Italians can drown ice cream in coffee, why can\u2019t the British have their own take and drown ice cream in our nation\u2019s favourite – tea?<\/p>\n Simply adding ice cream to custard can create an enriched and infused compliment to any dessert. Add as little or as much ice cream to achieve custard heaven.<\/p>\nIn a Sandwich<\/h2>\n
