Christmas Tree Sorbet!
A seasonal special. An evocation of a Christmas tree! Fir pine infused in white chocolate sorbet, rippled with crushed peppermint candy cane and milk chocolate tree decorations! But not the fairy lights that’s a step too far. This really is unusually tasty.

Chai Spices
Clove, cassis, fennel, ginger, black pepper, cardamom. Comforting and familiar as much as it is exotic. I’m using Manchester’s Hungry Gecko recipe for chai. Thank you Jackie, a perfect blend of spices for this luxurious scoop. (particularly awesome as an affogato in our Affleck’s parlour)

Heart & Graft Coffee
Another Manchester gem, Heart & Graft import coffee beans and roast them to their magical formula to produce a smooth as f**k, incredibly tasty coffee which you can enjoy in Ginger’s too. I did go to their roastery and learn all about how they make their coffee, and I’d love to fill you in, but [...]

Thomas Dakin Gin & Plum Sorbet
A Manchester gin. A truly delicious gin. A gin unlike all others. How? They make it in small batches with the best ingredients, as we do our ice cream. It’s the only way to get that wow factor into the taste. Really vibrant gin. Get a bottle for Christmas, it’s stocked in Booths. Extraordinary with [...]

Mint & fennel
Invigorating fresh mint complements aniseed notes of fennel seed, and beds down with lashings of double cream in this satisfying ice cream.

Ndali Vanilla.
Awww. Look at him just sat there. Sweet. Am I really anthropomorphising a scoop of ice cream? Oh, what can I say… it’s vanilla! Delicious – made with Ugandan Ndali vanilla, and not over-sweet. My kind of vanilla.

Golden Syrup, Tate And Lyle
Velvety smooth, slightly bitter-sweet caramelised sugar. Not an over statement to say this is life affirming stuff. It’s my absolutely favourite on the menu (after the Pure Origin chocolate, and tied with Spiced Rum Bun).

Pure Origins Chocolate
Tis an exotic thing, making chocolate from beans, but that’s what they do just down the road at Pure Origins in Bollington, and their cocoa and chocolate is outstanding. Our chocolate ice cream delivers a proper cocoa love hit. It makes me feel like I’m melting. We use 66% chocolate so it’s intense but milk [...]

Extra virgin olive oil, hawaiian black salt, strawberry
… with a black olive chocolate “flake”. Our winning dessert for 2013 British Street Food Awards. We’ll be serving it with all accoutrements in Afflecks Winter Ice Cream Den… but you can take it away unadulterated in 500ml pots, £8.

Chorlton Crack, a.k.a Salted Caramel & Peanut Butter
I’ve got a problem with this, my most popular flavour by far, and that is… I can’t control my own personal peanut butter habit. With an industrial size tub in the cupboard, nothing passes my lips without a dunk in the Skippy. The “don’t get high on your own supply” rule usually holds – but [...]
