Apple Crumble Ice Cream

Apple crumble is one of my favourite desserts so I thought that apple crumble ice cream would be perfect for the summer. I adapted a vanilla gelato recipe that I found on the Chiappa Sisters' website to create apple crumble ice cream.

Ingredients:

500ml double cream
1 x 395g tin of condensed milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 bramley apple
2 tbsp cinnamon for the ice cream mixture
1 tsp cinnamon for the apple
3 tbsp of light brown sugar
A handful of biscuits such as Speculoos or Digestives

Dice the bramley apple.
Melt a knob of butter in a pan.
Toss the apple pieces in the butter with 1tsp cinnamon and 3tbsp of light brown sugar.
Leave the apple to soften which will take 5-10 minutes.
Once the apple is soft, leave to cool.
In the meantime, follow the instructions from the Chiappa sisters' ice cream recipe
Fold in 2 tbsp of cinnamon into the ice cream mixture and then fold in the apple.
Put the ice cream mixture in a tub.
Grab a handful of biscuits, I used Speculoos but Digestives would work well too. Bash the biscuits with a rolling pin and sprinkle on top of the ice cream for the crumble effect.
Put in the freezer for 5 hours and remove 15 minutes before serving so it will soften and become a creamy gelato consistency.

Tea with a ghost? | Tiny Tim's Tearoom | Canterbury

Canterbury is such a historic city so I was looking for a traditional place for afternoon tea. Tiny Tim's Tearoom was the perfect place. Housed in a gorgeous 17th century building, this tearoom is particularly inviting with its baked goods displayed in the shop windows. Inside, Glen Miller was playing softly in the background, giving the place a nostalgic, vintage feel. Many British favourites were on offer, such as, crumpets, scones and hearty sponge cakes. I had an excellent coffee and walnut cake which had a wonderfully potent coffee flavour unlike many shop-bought ones. Served with a dollop of cream, ice cream or custard, these cakes are the ultimate comfort food. Tea is also in abundance. I tried Keemun Orchid which was a black tea that had notes of plum, orchid, sesame and pine. There are also more traditional blends for those who prefer more conventional tea. I attended this tearoom alone after a pleasant morning visiting Canterbury Cathedral. However, was I t...

The Apple Pie Map | Hirosaki, Aomori

Are you a fan of apple pie? If you are, then Hirosaki might just be the place for you! Hirosaki is in Aomori, a prefecture in the Tohoku region in the north of Japan. Aomori is famous for its delicious apples, and nowhere is this fruit more greatly celebrated than in the city of Hirosaki. There are over 50 shops in the town selling different types of apple pie. With so many options, it can seem overwhelming. How can you possibly find the perfect pie for you?! Well, the answer is simple. All you need is the Apple pie map ! Not only does the map tell you all the different locations for pie shops and bakeries, it also rates each pie on its sweetness, sourness and amount of cinnamon. My personal favourite is スリーブリッヂ or Three Bridge, a cute little bakery near Hirosaki station. Their pie is rated 3/5 for sweetness and sourness. But don't take my word for it, head to Hirosaki and do your own research! There's plenty of pies to enjoy and beautiful sites ...
