5 Natural Ice Cream Pairings You’ll Love
There’s something magical about a scoop of rich, creamy ice cream melting gently beside a warm dessert or paired with the right seasonal fruit. At Simply Ice Cream, our naturally made ice creams shine brightest when enjoyed simply - but pairing them with other natural ingredients can elevate your dessert to something truly special.
Here are five pairing ideas to bring out the best in our hand-whisked flavours:
1. Dreamy Vanilla with Warm Apple Crumble
A classic for good reason. The sweet, buttery crunch of homemade apple crumble finds its perfect match in the smooth simplicity of our Dreamy Vanilla ice cream. It’s comfort food at its finest.
2. Divine Chocolate with Orange Segments and Toasted Almonds
Our Divine Chocolate ice cream, made with 70% dark chocolate, pairs beautifully with the brightness of fresh orange and the crunch of lightly toasted almonds. It’s a sophisticated twist on a chocolate orange.
3. Heavenly Honeycomb with Fresh Figs or Poached Pear
The caramel crunch of our Heavenly Honeycomb ice cream is stunning when served with ripe figs or gently poached pear. The natural sugars of the fruit enhance the honey notes beautifully.
4. Sublime Strawberry with Balsamic-Drizzled Berries
Take things up a notch by serving our Sublime Strawberry ice cream with a small bowl of macerated berries (tossed in a touch of balsamic vinegar and sugar). It intensifies the fruit flavour while adding a grown-up depth.
5. Coffee with Dark Chocolate Biscotti
Our Coffee flavour, rich and aromatic, is the perfect after-dinner treat. Add a dark chocolate biscotti on the side and you have a luxurious, Italian-style dessert course.
A Few Tips for Pairing:
- Stick with natural flavours. The more wholesome and unprocessed the elements, the better they’ll complement our ice cream.
- Play with textures. Creamy, crunchy, soft, and juicy - contrast makes a dish more exciting.
- Don’t overpower. Let the ice cream shine! Supporting elements should enhance, not mask.
At Simply Ice Cream, we believe less is more - and that’s never truer than when enjoying ice cream with simple, seasonal pairings. Try one (or all!) of these combinations and discover how beautifully real flavours work together.
