As usual, the best I can do is to give you an extract of an email from Morag headed “Yummylicious”
“... Well about the ice cream – I think the heading says
it all, we thoroughly enjoyed it - how do you describe it?
Creamy smooth lovely texture not grainy little nuggets
of dark chocolate with … ? It was subtle … yet again
another winner!”
I replied :
“...Love the name! I was hoping you'd enjoy it and if
a “yes” then suggest you give it a name and thank you -
you've done just that! It's chocolate orange fudge, dusted
in cocoa, cut into tiny irregular pieces and folded into
the basic vanilla ice cream recipe. The orange element
is Valencian orange extract. Two for the price of one -
fudge if that's your bag and an ice cream too!”
We are now well and truly snowed in – hopefully not for long and my once a week grocery shopping trip is a no-go!
I'm so glad I decided after the debacle with “loo-roll gate” during the first lockdown that I would pay proper attention to my own store cupboard and have gradually, not greedily, created a spin-off store cupboard separate from the norm with basics and staples. I didn't expect that it would come into its own because of the weather – it's bad enough being in lockdown – snowed in too really puts the tin hat on it!
It's time for the pie fillings …
