Summer might be drawing to a close, but we’re certainly not putting away our ice cream spoons just yet. At Salcombe Dairy, we’ve always believed that good ice cream deserves to be enjoyed all year round. While there’s nothing quite like a scoop by the sea on a sunny day, there are plenty of reasons to keep enjoying your favourite flavours as the seasons change. Autumn might just be one of the best times to get creative with ice cream.
Ice Cream Is for Every Season
There’s a common misconception that ice cream is purely a summer treat. But think about Britain’s favourite desserts: warming crumble, sticky toffee pudding, rich chocolate brownies and freshly baked fruit pies. What makes them even better? A generous scoop of creamy ice cream. The contrast between a warm pudding and cold ice cream is one of those simple combinations that works every time.
Our Favourite Autumn Ice Cream Pairings
Vanilla ice cream with fruit crumble is a classic: creamy vanilla melting into soft fruit and buttery topping. Chocolate ice cream alongside a fudgy brownie is wonderfully indulgent. For coffee lovers, try a scoop of ice cream with a biscuit or a square of bean-to-bar chocolate, or make an affogato by pouring freshly brewed espresso over vanilla ice cream. And after a hearty meal, a refreshing fruit sorbet can be just the thing.
Made in Devon, Enjoyed at Home
We’ve been making ice cream in Salcombe for generations, using traditional methods and carefully selected ingredients. Our ice cream is made with quality milk and cream, creating the smooth texture and rich flavour our customers know and love. We’re also proud that our ice cream is made without nuts, gluten, eggs or soya. From familiar favourites to more adventurous combinations, there’s something to enjoy throughout the year. And you don’t need to be visiting Devon: our home delivery service lets you keep the freezer stocked.
Looking Ahead to Our Seasonal Flavours
One of the lovely things about moving into autumn is the arrival of seasonal ingredients and flavours. As the weather changes, our thoughts turn to warming spices, comforting desserts and some of the tastes we associate with colder months. Keep an eye on our collection as we move towards winter, when seasonal ice creams bring a festive twist to familiar favourites.
Keep the Freezer Stocked
Whether you’re planning a Sunday lunch, entertaining friends or simply fancy something delicious after dinner, having a tub of good ice cream in the freezer is always a good idea. Because while the sunshine might be taking a little break, our love of ice cream certainly isn’t. Discover our Devon ice cream collection and order your favourite flavours for home delivery.
