Ice Cream Dreams

 

In early Spring (if you can call it that) Phil and I like to take a short city break. Not only do we get some foodie time away from home but it also gives the kids a break from us and Grandparents to indulge them! It is also a time of the year when My Secret Kitchen is in full swing and so we can take some time 'off' knowing that the business is in the very capable hands of our leaders and support team.

 

Last year we went to Marrakesh (hence our inspiration for Saffron Tagine Paste) and this year we have just come back from Barcelona.

 

In true style Phil researched some fabulous foodie haunts before we went (thank-you Trip Advisor) and I just have to share with you our ice cream experience. In the photo above you can see the range of amazing flavours we found at Gelaaati! and specifically we tried the flavours below - Parmesan Reggiano Ice Cream, Fig & Ricotta and my favourite, a caramel and biscuit concoction.

 

 

So I thought I'd have a go myself - Maple Caramel Ice Cream with extra Maple Caramel Sauce and crunchy caramel studded with Secret Honeycomb Spices...

 

 

Of course if you are short on time then some good vanilla ice cream with a healthy dollop of Maple Caramel Sauce and a sprinking of Secret Honeycomb Spices will have the desired effect.

 

Maybe there is an ice cream dream in all of us? What flavours inspire you? We certainly started daydreaming about Willy Wonka-esque ice cream flavours with a little help from My Secret Kitchen....

Happy Dreaming!
