I am excited to take over the café from today. We’ll be opening the doors as usual at 10am but with all the same familiar faces and the usual cosy atmosphere that you’re used to.

I’d like to wish Emma the very best, and a big thank you for the time we’ve worked together & all the laughs we’ve had along the way.

I am looking forward to welcoming our loyal customers and new faces over the coming weeks and months.

Thank you to everyone for all your support and well wish so far. I’m very grateful.

  • These are perfect for Mother’s Day and amazing for kids lunchboxes or as healthy toddler snack AND they freeze really well.

    For Mums on Mother’s Day, it is so lovely for your little one to bring you up one of these in bed, served with fresh cream and strawberry jam. Mine always included their little homemade card and flower from our garden. It’s so simple but to them and me, it meant everything 💛

Saffron,Honey and Ricotta ice cream.🌹@HaughtonHoney

 

 

haughton ice cream

This Saffron, Honey and Ricotta ice cream isn’t too sweet – perfect for after a big meal

Ricotta adds an interesting texture here, and the saffron makes it wonderfully fragrant.

Serves 6

500ml/17 fl oz whole milk

1 tsp of saffron threads

5 egg yolks

200g/7oz sugar

250ml/8½ fl oz double cream

500g/1lb 2oz ricotta

2 tbsp honey, plus extra to serve

2 handfuls of toasted pine nuts, to serve

Bring the milk and saffron to a simmer and keep warm.

In a large bowl, combine the yolks and sugar and beat until pale.

Add half the warm milk to the egg mixture and whisk again until combined. Pour the mix into the saucepan along with the remaining warm milk. Cook over a low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a custard and coats the back of a wooden spoon. Remove from the heat and whisk in the double cream, followed by the ricotta and the honey, until blended.

Churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Serve sprinkled with toasted pine nuts and a little extra honey.
