Lakeland has revealed that the latest food trend to hit our homes this summer is set to be homemade ice cream. Sales of ice cream makers are soaring at the retailer and as a category up nearly 20% on last year, whilst social media is full of people sharing their frozen creations with some unusual new flavours proving popular, from avocado to chestnut.
For many home-cooks making their own ice cream has previously been seen as a step too far, but there has been a huge increase in ice cream makers landing on retailers’ shelves that are easy and quick to use. Lakeland now has a range of different options to choose from, including the new Lakeland Digital Ice Cream Maker, £49.99 which is proving successful with sales up 380% week on week.
Once known as being noisy and very time-consuming, the latest machines offer quiet settings and can have frozen delights ready in as little as 30 minutes. The retailer has also launched a range of ice cream accessories from easy to use ice cream mixes (Lakeland Salted Caramel Ice Cream Mix) to fun toppings and stylish serving dishes (4 Pearl Ridged Mini Glass Footed Bowls), perfect for those looking to bring some fun to their summer entertaining.
