No Nasties: What Goes Into (and Stays Out of) Our Ice Cream
When it comes to food, especially something as indulgent as ice cream, we believe you deserve to know exactly what you’re eating. That’s why at Simply Ice Cream, we’re proudly transparent about our ingredients, and just as proud of what we don’t use.
We’ve built our recipes around the idea that real food should be simple. No artificial colours. No synthetic flavours. No preservatives. Just honest ingredients, carefully sourced and expertly combined.
A Short List of Honest Ingredients
If you turn over one of our tubs, you’ll find a refreshingly short ingredient list. Double cream, milk, sugar, and natural flavourings (like real blended strawberries or our homemade honeycomb). That’s it. Each ingredient is chosen for its quality, freshness, and flavour.
We don’t believe in bulking out our ice cream with fillers or chemically enhanced tastes. Instead, we rely on the natural sweetness of fruit, the richness of dairy, and the pure, comforting taste of traditional recipes made with care.
Why We Say No to Artificial Additives
Many mass-produced ice creams use a range of additives and emulsifiers to extend shelf life, intensify colour, or artificially enhance flavour. These additives may make products look and taste more consistent, but they often strip away the authenticity and integrity of the food. Not to mention the negative impact they are proven to have on health.
At Simply Ice Cream, we believe that less is more. By avoiding artificial colours and preservatives, we not only keep our ice cream more natural - we also keep it more delicious. There’s a purity to real ingredients that’s hard to replicate in a lab.
Locally Sourced Where Possible
Another part of our commitment to quality is sourcing ingredients locally wherever we can. From fresh strawberries grown in the Kent countryside to sweet and citrusy Lemon Curd from a local producer, we believe the best flavours start close to home.
Supporting local farmers and producers also helps us maintain a more sustainable and traceable supply chain - something we care deeply about as a small artisan business.
A Better Treat for Everyone
Whether you’re indulging in a quiet scoop after dinner or serving up bowls at a family celebration, we want our ice cream to be something you can feel good about. That’s why every flavour, from Dreamy Vanilla to seasonal specials like Apple Crumble, are made with care, integrity, and a deep respect for the ingredients we use.
We think that’s what makes Simply Ice Cream so special. It’s not just what’s in it, but what isn’t.
So next time you reach for a tub, remember: no nasties, no nonsense - just naturally delicious ice cream, the way it should be.
