Double Jersey – 2 Star

Judges’ comments: “Beautiful snow white colour. Silky smooth, creamy consistency, not too sweet and real buttery quality. I can’t say much more than this is a shining example.”

Thunder & Lightning – 1 Star

Judges’ comments: “A good combination of dairy-rich ice cream, crunchy cinder toffee and ripples of sauce – we like texture and the cinder toffee has stayed crisp and also nicely chewy.”

Raspberry Pavlova – 1 Star

Judges’ comments: “A good milky ice cream with raspberry freshness rippled through and a smattering of meringue – we like the freshness of the fruit but we especially enjoyed the clean, creamy finish from the actual ice cream.”

Cherry and Mascarpone Gelato – 2 Star

Judges’ comment: “Beautifully rippled ice cream with a bright cherry fruity streak and lots of fruity aromas. The cherries add a burst of fruity sweetness and sourness with a long fruity finish. The fruity pieces are particularly delicious; they are plump, soft, perfectly sized and generously distributed. This ice cream melts in the mouth!”

Cartmel Sticky Toffee Pudding – 1 Star

Judges’ comments: “A really rich and satisfying combination of creamy ice cream and light date sponge, clever and fun. The fudgy flavours of the date are malty and honest and bring a perfect contrast to the sweetness. Notes of skin, stone and fruit are all evident, delivering a true sticky toffee pudding experience.”

Belgium Biscuit (Biscoff) – 1 Star

Judges’ comments: “A rich and indulgent looking ice cream with a very appealing caramel colour. Truly rich and creamy on the palate with indulgent dairy notes, the sweetness is spot on with hints of cooked caramel and a clear Biscoff taste. The velvety texture melts in the mouth to reveal the toasty, toffee flavours leaving a rather enjoyable biscuity finish. One judge described this as really good fun!”

Kendal Mint Cake – 1 Star

Judges’ comments: “Sophisticated looking and generous chunks of chocolate. The mint really comes through in the aroma and builds up the fresh chocolatey anticipation.”
