The best ice creams start, of course, with only the best ingredients. Our Cornish Clotted Cream Ice Creams, like the vibrant blackcurrant and raspberry ripple flavours pictured above, are crafted just for us at the family-run, 30-year-old Callestick Farm in Cornwall. They contain more clotted cream than ever before for the richest texture, and every batch can be traced back to the cow. For a jam-packed spoon, our I'm Fully Loaded ice creams are laced with tasty sauces and fillings, promising something gooey, crunchy, and saucy in every spoonful.

The best ice creams flavours this summer

Whether it's an on-trend pistachio or a classic clotted cream vanilla you're after, we've got a whole array of ice cream flavours to tempt you.

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, made with more clotted cream than ever, and our Collection luxury vanilla ice cream, expertly crafted and infused with Madagascan vanilla pods. Serve with Tom Kerridge’s recipe for fluffy pancakes with maple butter apples – heaven.
