One of my ultimate guilty pleasure desserts which never lasts long in the freezer. This is my favourite type of ice cream - sweet, salty, crunchy, creamy and completely moreish paired with a fruity, warm cherry compote.  It would also work well with any fruit you have in your freezer (raspberries, strawbs etc). This is a crowdpleaser of a pud which feels grownup but also a little bit like jelly and ice cream you used to get as a kid.

Loved coming up with this recipe to celebrate Mackies summer campaign to find your Perfect Pudding Partner to go with their delicious range of ice creams. Just because the sun is no longer shining doesn’t mean we can’t bring some summer sun in the form of comforting puddings and Mackies ice cream to the table. For me, it always has to be Honeycomb.

This is one of the quickest, easiest and most delicious desserts you can make. Forced rhubarb is also in season just now so you will probably have seen it in the supermarkets. I love rhubarb and this is one of my favourite ways to have it - slow roasted in orange juice and zest, some spices and a little sugar. With a crunchy nut crumble made from whatever nuts you have lying around in the cupboard, a little ground ginger, maple syrup and a drizzle of olive oil, it’s a healthier way to satisfy those crumble cravings. We had ours with vanilla ice cream but you could also use creme fraiche which would be delicious and any kind of whipped cream.

I love tropical flavours so couldn’t resist coming up with a dessert which just screams heaven on a plate. Pineapple, rum, coconut, lime - I’ve included all the good stuff in this one. The rum could be missed out for a kid-friendly version. This would be a great summer pudding to do on a bbq and all the different elements can be prepared beforehand so it is just a case of grilling the pineapple pieces to serve. All these flavours and textures just work so well together and I can see this becoming a family favourite from now on.

This is a no holds barred dessert. It’s sweet, salty, gooey, crispy, fudgy, nutty and pretty dirty all at the same time. The ice cream is super creamy and rich and with the fudginess of the salted nutty cookie and the slight aromatic flavour from the thyme, you won’t be able to stop digging your spoon in.

These are some of my favourite flavour combinations of all time - pineapple, rum, lime and coconut. What’s not to love? Its tropical sunshine on a plate, super simple and the perfect showstopper to a dinner party meal or Sunday roast.
