As the heatwave arrived in the UK, we went to check out some of the best ice cream Lincoln had to offer. Needless to say, it was a lot of fun.
When the sun shines and the hot weather hits our skin, what is the first thing you think about doing? Could it be getting the paddling pool blown up? Maybe heating up the barbecue? All great options, but one plan that immediately comes to mind is ice cream. Costing £2.80, I went for a twin tub with a scoop of bubblegum and another scoop of vanilla, a beautiful way to balance the near 40-degree heat.
The shop boasts over 75 different flavours that often rotate based on seasons, with the unique Christmas Pudding flavour found on the same menu as timeless classics such as strawberry and chocolate. My choice was a double scoop of white chocolate chip and lemon sorbet, and while it did cost £5.50, that is with valid reason.
With a unique ice cream blend infused with cocoa grown by the company itself, Hotel Chocolat’s ice cream is a valid contender for ice cream of the gods – especially with raspberry sauce on the top.
