Seasonal Flavours: Winter

At Suffolk Meadow we use traditional batch methods for crafting our real dairy ice creams, milk free sorbets, frozen yoghurt and plant based frozen desserts. Where possible we use local suppliers for our ingredients and choose seasonal flavours to work with fresh ingredients available to us.

Our current season to focus on is Winter, including things like Chocolate Orange, Plum & Damson, Apple & Cinnamon, Christmas Pudding, Brandy Butter and Mulled Wine Sorbet. Ice cream is for enjoyment all year round and not just summer. For our full list of flavours check out the Flavours page.

Our Flavours

A bespoke request for a #burnsnight flavour. cranachan, made here into ice cream, with oats(roasted with maple syrup & crumbled) honey, whisky and raspberries. The oats add a lovely texture. Made especially for @huntingfieldarms #suffolkmeadowicecream #suffolkicecream #familybusiness #localingredients #icecreammadeinsuffolk

What an experience we had @sigepworld in #riminiexpocentreitaly . So many new flavours to try, one of the favourites being almond & coffee - sometimes simple is best. Although the Dubai chocolate & pistachio was pretty special. Thanks to those @leagel_gelato @fabbri1905 @niciceuk for great hospitality. We also thoroughly enjoyed sampling gelato throughout #Bologna where all the food is incredible. Shout out to our favourites @cremeriacavourdi @maritozziegelato . #suffolkmeadowicecream #icecreamresearch

Ice cream birthday cakes finished and ready to go. A selection of flavours here: clotted cream with raspberry, clotted cream with strawberry and vanilla with coffee. Two flavours of ice cream go into each cake, they are separated by a layer of meringue and a fruit coulis or something like caramel or honeycomb pieces. Then we wrap them up in a semifreddo and decorate in a simple but beautiful way. #walpolesuffolk #suffolkmeadowicecream #suffolkicecream #suffolkbusiness #madeinsuffolk #IceCreamCakeLove

⭐️. This year we entered our Blackcurrant Sorbet into the Great Taste Awards 2024. The summer season was so beautifully busy we are only just getting around to sharing the award we were given!
The judges loved the ‘super-fresh blackcurranty flavour across the palate in this surprisingly creamy sorbet’ and ‘a refreshing mouth feel, not too sweet as many sorbets can be’ . @guildoffinefood #greattasteawards2024 #suffolkmeadowicecream #suffolkmeadowsorbet #walpolesuffolk #suffolksorbet #suffolkicecream #goldstarawards⭐️💫

This is the 2nd flavour request from my nephew in New Zealand. Gold Rush.

Definitely one for the sweet tooth, but also extremely luxurious.

Come by our stand and see all of these bespoke flavours today @aldeburghfood

#suffolkmeadowicecream #handmadeinsuffolk #snapesuffolk #walpolesuffolk #aldeburghfoodanddrinkfestival

What an amazing team these 2 made today! Lola from @ivesaldeburgh was a great addition to our team today. So nice to collaborate with our customer to put on our stand @aldeburghfood
We’ve had a great first day meeting so many people and catching up with friends. The flavours all went down really well

Orange Twist Sorbet.

Here we have used our Orange sorbet and then twisted it with a Raspberry & mint coulis that we made in the creamery using raspberries from @highhousefruit

We are so lucky to have such a wealth of food produced here in Suffolk and east Anglia.

The @aldeburghfood festival brings us all together to celebrate so many wonderful things.

We love working with other local producers, especially when creating our bespoke limited edition flavours.

Here is Plum & Damson. Both fruits have come from the fantastic @highhousefruit - the damson were picked especially for us and we added a few that my mother foraged from our home farm.

Don't miss this fantastic event - it is on all weekend

Goody Gum Drop!

As requested by my 9 year old nephew living in New Zealand! My children certainly approved!

Cotton Candy & Vanilla ice cream swirled together with a few rainbow drops and fruit jelly sweet pieces to find too!

Bespoke Flavour for @aldeburghfood

#suffolkmeadowicecream #icecreammadeinsuffolk #bespokeicecreamflavours #aldeburghfoodanddrinkfestival

A couple more bespoke flavour creations just for @aldeburghfood . We want to say a huge thank you to @brownieandthebean for creating these delicious brownies for us. Honestly I’m shocked any of the coconut brownies actually made it into the ice cream - they are remarkable! #aldeburghfoodanddrinkfestival #suffolkmeadowicecream #suffolkicecream #smallbusinesscollaboration

This year we have had fun creating lots of new flavours for the festival and working with some great local suppliers.

The flavours here are Victoria Sponge: this is a brown butter ice cream that has been swirled with raspberry coulis and delicious pieces of gluten free sponge from @jakerybakery4

And Choc Cinnamon Crunch: Chocolate ice cream with crumbled gluten free cinnamon biscuits and a hint of caramel swirl. The biscuits were baked this week for us by Jakery Bakery in Southwold.

Jakery Bakery will also be @aldeburghfood so please do check them out!

Beautiful day for a trip to Southwold to collect ingredients made especially for our @aldeburghfood flavours . @Jakerybakery4 make such delicious gluten free bakes ❤️. These shall be churned into 2 special flavours tomorrow #suffolkicecream #suffolkmeadowicecream #handmadeicecream #icecreammadeinsuffolk #suffolkmade #happyicecreamdays #locallymadeicecream #jakerybakery4 #aldeburghfoodanddrinkfestival

With @aldeburghfood just around the corner, the team and I have been busy preparing some new flavours.

Every year for the festival we like to have a bit of a play with our base flavours to create some new, slightly more fun combinations for the food festivals visitors to try out.

It has been a really busy summer at the Creamery in Walpole, so it is always nice when September comes and we can see what the possibilities are.

We have been chatting with fellow producers to see what ingredients we can add from other traders at the festival. We are really excited for you to come and try these new flavours out and here is a sneak preview of some of them. More to follow after another weeks production.

You will most certainly want the sound on this video. The pure tranquility of these beautiful cows grazing in the sun is wonderful.

On Friday my team and I closed the creamery for the day and went on a little day trip. We went to meet Lindsay @esburroughs to visit the cows where all our milk comes from to make our ice cream

What an inspiring visit we had. Including @wheatacre_farm_pantry , @wheatacrehallbarns and a fabulous walk across the fields to see the milking parlour.

We are so thankful to have this farm so near to us to provide fresh milk daily for our ice cream.

A beautiful colourful trolley of freshly churned sorbets. Absolutely love the rainbow, certainly has a summer vibe - now all we need is the sunshine! ☀️

On the trolley is Pomegranate sorbet (our very popular addition for 2024), orange sorbet and mango sorbet on the top.

We love creating bespoke flavours for our customers, but we generally forget to share them!

This was a stout ice cream made for The Village Maid for their Christmas menu. We used a beautiful cream stout from #stpetersbrewery in Bungay. They make a gluten free stout so that was perfect for using in our creamery

#suffolkmeadowicecream #bespokeicecream #stouticecream #walpolesuffolk #icecreammadeinsuffolk #suffolkicecream #handmadeicecream

Our new Pomegranate Sorbet freshly hand potted this morning and soon to be on its way to @brookskensalrise

It’s a great combination of tart and sweet! Think it will be a great addition to our line up of flavours

Recently a lovely chef @thehatfieldhotel asked if we could further darken our Belgian chocolate ice cream. So we took our original chocolate mix added some delicious 70% dark chocolate. As we create all of our ice cream in small hand potted batches, we can pretty much turn our hand to any flavour for our wonderful customers #walpolesuffolk #suffolkicecream #suffolkmeadowicecream #handmadeicecream #icecreammadeinsuffolk #suffolkmade #suffolkmeadow #handmadeinsuffolk #happyicecreamdays #locallymadeicecream

Just a few of the Christmas specials we’ve created this year. Gingerbread latte, Rochelle, Christmas pudding and Brandy Butter #icecreammadeinsuffolk #walpolesuffolk #suffolkmeadowicecream #happyicecreamdays #suffolkmade #locallymadeicecream #christmasicecream

Christmas ice cream cakes

These 2 are chocolate orange and white chocolate ice cream, separated by a layer of meringue. One has a cherry inclusion and the other has raspberry.

These ones are gifts for the amazing team that make our delicious ice cream - Poppy & Heather. Just a little thank you for all their hard work
