There is something rather lovely about these last few days of summer, when the afternoons are still warm enough to sit outside and one or two bumblebees wander lazily amongst the last of the flowers, seemingly in no great hurry as summer begins to draw to a close.
An affogato seems just right for such an afternoon. A wonderfully simple Italian dessert, made by pouring a freshly brewed espresso over a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream - although we prefer a good clotted cream ice cream for its extra richness.
And, perhaps rather indulgently, we like to finish ours with a spoonful of our Wh**ky Caramel Sauce. Made with butter, cream and a generous measure of Filey Bay Flagship Single Malt Wh**ky, its deep, buttery sweetness is particularly good with the bitter coffee and slowly melting ice cream.
One of those simple pleasures to enjoy outside on a late warm afternoon, while we still can.
If you have been meaning to try our Wh**ky Caramel Sauce, now might be the time. This batch is very nearly gone and won’t be back until Christmas.
