As the days stretch longer and the British sunshine, in its glorious fleeting appearances, beckons us outdoors, our cravings naturally turn to something lighter, brighter, and utterly refreshing. And what could be more perfect for capturing the essence of summer than exquisite summer chocolate flavours? Here at Friars of Keswick, we've been busy crafting a truly special collection designed to transport your taste buds to sun-drenched afternoons and balmy evenings. Our new Summer Collection is officially here, and it's brimming with limited-edition creations you absolutely won't want to miss.
Forget everything you thought you knew about traditional chocolates.
Our Summer Collection is a vibrant departure, focusing on innovative flavour profiles that perfectly complement the warmth and joy of the season. We’ve meticulously selected ingredients that evoke memories of seaside holidays, picnics in lush meadows, and the simple pleasure of a well-deserved treat. From zesty citrus bursts to the delicate sweetness of summer berries, each chocolate is a miniature celebration of what makes this time of year so special.
At the heart of this year’s collection, and a firm favourite amongst our team, is the much-anticipated Friars of Keswick Ice Cream Chocolate Selection Box.
This isn't just a box of chocolates; it's a nostalgic trip down memory lane, reimagining classic ice cream parlour delights in luxurious chocolate form.
We’ve captured the creamy indulgence and iconic flavours of your favourite scoops, translating them into delectable, bite-sized treasures.
Imagine sinking your teeth into a piece that perfectly mimics the refreshing taste of Strawberry Ice Cream. We’ve achieved this with a smooth, fruity ganache enveloped in a shell of our finest milk chocolate, offering that unmistakable summery sweetness. Then there’s the delightful swirl of our Raspberry Ripple, where the tartness of raspberry sauce dances with creamy white chocolate, creating a vibrant and playful sensation that’s just like the real thing.
For the true chocoholics, our Vanilla Ice Cream Chocolate piece delivers a rich, intense chocolate hit, proving that some classics are truly timeless, even in a summer setting. And for a touch of tropical fun, the Banana Split chocolate is an imaginative blend of creamy banana notes with hints of caramel and a subtle hint of that classic sundae topping. Finally, the Caramel Fudge piece offers a comforting, chewy sweetness, reminiscent of a melting scoop of your favourite caramel fudge ice cream on a warm day.
What makes this Ice Cream Chocolate Selection truly special, beyond its innovative flavours, is the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into every single piece.
Each chocolate is handmade with the utmost care, ensuring a perfect balance of taste and texture. The premium ingredients, from the rich cocoa to the vibrant fruit infusions, speak of Friars’ enduring commitment to quality that has been our hallmark since 1927. The presentation, too, is a delight – a beautifully designed box that makes it an ideal gift, or indeed, a well-deserved treat for yourself.
But the Ice Cream Chocolate Selection is just one star in our glittering Summer Collection.
