The best Cornish ice cream

The best ice creams start with the best ingredients. Our Cornish Clotted Cream Ice Creams are crafted exclusively for us at family-run Callestick Farm in Cornwall, where they’ve been perfecting their craft for over 30 years. Now made with even more clotted cream, they deliver an irresistibly rich, indulgent texture.

The best fruity ice cream

Is there anything that screams summer more than a raspberry ripple? Our Cornish Clotted Cream Raspberry Ripple Ice Cream pairs luxuriously smooth clotted cream ice cream with ribbons of tangy raspberry, creating a perfectly balanced, sunshine-ready scoop.

The best chocolate ice cream

Made with 100% traceable Cornish milk and clotted cream for the smoothest, richest, and creamiest texture, we make every ingredient count in our classic Cornish Chocolate Ice Cream. The best part? You can get Cornish chocolate and vanilla ice creams in both 500ml tubs and 100ml single-serve pots – perfect whether you're feeding the family or want a solo treat.

The best vanilla ice cream

It’s hard to choose between our Cornish Vanilla Ice Cream, now made with even more clotted cream for extra indulgence, and our Collection Luxury Vanilla Ice Cream, expertly crafted and infused with Madagascan vanilla pods. Serve with Tom Kerridge’s fluffy pancakes with maple butter apples for a truly indulgent treat.
