Dairy Ice Cream

There are two stages: Making the custard and freezing the ice cream. Unlike other producers we make up different types of custard, each made from fresh local milk & cream, fresh local eggs (separated in-house by hand) & British sugar. They combine to produce an excellent base that gives a real depth of flavour, for example:

• Ginger custard: made with the addition of ground ginger
• Mocha chocolate custard: made with freeze dried coffe and cocoa mass
• Christmas pudding custard: all the ground spices are added together with black treacle (Filling the factory with a festive aroma)

Each special blend of ingredients is pasteurised then cooled overnight. The second stage involves adding many of the fresh flavours that are all made in-house e.g.

• Strawberry - locally grown strawberries prepared in-house
• Brandy & Ginger - stem ginger soaked in Martel brandy
• Rum & Raisin - we soak organic raisins in dark rum overnight

Each final combination is then frozen down, producing very distinctive flavours and textures – the final process is testing, we will only let each dairy ice cream wear the Mary's Farmhouse label if it is perfect and we are proud.

So, as you can see it really is an
   additive free dairy ice cream made with
     the finest, fresh ingredients and care.
