Leading Northern Irish ice cream creator, Ben Boyd, has unveiled four new exclusive Christmas flavours perfect for the festive season.
Available now from Ben’s Ice Cream Studio, the four-strong line up, include Popping Candy Cane, Wild Cherry Brandy, Gingerbread House Party as well as a brand new vegan option Vegan Chocolate a Biscoff Crunch, all perfect for pudding pairing this Christmas or to simply indulge on their own.
Crafted with melted candy cane base and infused with a vibrant pink popping candy ripple, the Popping Candy Cane is the brainchild of the pupils and teaching staff of St. Oliver Plunkett’s Primary School in Toome.
Ben collaborated with the young team to develop this unique festive flavour that not only tastes great but is sure to delight children of all ages. The whimsical creation perfectly captures the festive spirit and imaginative flair of the young minds behind its creation, embodying the joy and excitement of the holiday season.
The Wild Cherry Brandy ice cream is infused with Hennessy brandy, rippled with indulgent wild cherries and finished with rich, white chocolate shavings – offering a delightful symphony of flavours that perfectly captures the essence of winter’s warmth and the magic of Christmas with every bite.
Made with an Irish cream and cinnamon paste, with a Dulce De Leche ripple and a tasty cinnamon crunch, Gingerbread House Party is a true holiday treat.
Crafted to embrace the comforting essence of Irish heritage it is delightfully indulgent, marrying the smoothness of Irish cream with a delicate hint of cinnamon and enhanced by a charming Dulce De Leche ripple. This creation promises a journey through the rich and elegant flavours of Ireland, making merry mouths water as they savour every bite.
Vegan Chocolate & Biscoff Crunch is the perfect blend of rich and creamy vegan chocolate ice cream infused with the warm, spiced notes of Biscoff biscuits. This festive treat is the ultimate combination of sweet and crunchy that will leave the taste buds dancing with joy. Whether vegan or just a lover of delectable ice cream, this is a must-try this holiday season.
The proof really is in the pudding and famed chef consultant, Noel McMeel, has suggested some perfect pudding pairings for your Christmas menu this year:
Cherry and chocolate are a match made in Heaven so try pairing the Wild Cherry Brandy ice cream with a black forest gateau this festive season. It was also made a great accompaniment to any chocolate dessert or with a fruit (or nutty Biscotti) trifle.
Although similar in appearance, The Gingerbread House Party should not be confused with caramel. This Argentinian delicacy consists of condensed milk which is cooked down until it reaches the colour and consistency of caramel. The rich and decadent flavours make it perfect for sticky toffee pudding, traditional bread & butter pudding, or home-made Christmas pudding.
The fun Popping Candy Cane ice cream would be wonderfully paired with any cheesecake, panna cotta or tiramisu.
Ben Boyd, creator, and owner of Ben’s Ice Cream Studio said: “We wanted to create some fun and luxury flavours for this Christmas. We enlisted the help of St. Oliver Plunkett’s school to develop our Popping Candy Cane ice cream, which was such fun – the children had a very clear vision of what their ice cream would be, and we are sure everyone will love it.
“Our wild cherry brandy and gingerbread house party ice cream will delight every palate and with our expert pairings should go down a treat over the festive period. Our vegan option is so luxurious we are confident it will be a winner with everyone.
“Ice cream is most definitely not just for summer, and we know these exclusive flavours will be a wonderful staple in any freezer this Christmas.”
The four exclusive Christmas flavours are available now in Ben’s three outlets in Magherafelt, Toome and Portglenone. Customers can also order online at www.bensicecreamstudio.com/shop/ for collection.
