Gingerbread Ice Cream

behind the scenes

Run, run as fast as you can to your gingerbread ice cream dreams!

Ah gingerbread! One of the quintessential Christmas treats and scents…nothing says the festive season quite like that first bite of gingerbread or sip of a gingerbread latte!

And while ice cream may be far from our minds on those cold December nights, this gingerbread ice cream recipe is a delicious holiday indulgence and will keep you happy all season long!

Now, don’t panic…we’re not suggesting you run out and buy an ice cream machine. Nor are we suggesting making a custard from scratch.

I mean, we might be all about indulgence but you’ve seen our tag line…less stress is key! And that’s what this gingerbread ice cream recipe is…completely stress-free!

First of all, there is no churning involved so you don’t need an ice cream maker nor do you need to set multiple alarms to remind yourself to pull it out of the freezer and give it a stir.

Instead, the combination of double cream and sweetened condensed milk does all of the hard work to create a luscious and creamy gingerbread ice cream that is the perfect accompaniment to any Christmas dessert (or even better, just in a bowl on its own!) 

And no, there’s none of that burning heat of ginger, instead the mixed spice gives a perfect balance of flavour with just an extra hit of cinnamon and ginger to give you the cosy warmth of the season.

Plus, when you add the gingerbread biscuits…can you say texture explosion!!! Seriously, this gingerbread ice cream recipe ticks all the boxes and then some!
