Our top 5 desserts to celebrate an ice cream festival coming to Ireland
Yep, you read that right. An actual ice cream festival is coming to Dublin and we couldn't be more excited.
Taking inspiration from the UK's Ice Cream Festival, the two-day event is expected to take Irish desserts to the next level.
As well as being able to sample local produce, there will also be a comfy lounge area and DJ, so you can relax to "summer beats and many freezing specials."
The festival will take place on August 12 and 13, yet the location and exact times are to be announced.
And with all this chat about sweet, tasty ice cream, we decided to count down our top 5 desserts across Ireland:
5. Fallon & Byrne's vegan dark chocolate coconut mousse
And with gingerbread pudding too, this dessert not only looks amazing, but tastes great too.
4. Fade Street Social's pavlova with strawberries
You know you're always guaranteed a good time in Fade Street, but this pavlova with chantilly cream and white chocolate is a cut above the rest.
3. Market Lane's dessert specials
Whether it's a Paddy's Day lime pie or some colourful meringues, Market Lane in Cork always has a great selection of desserts on special offer from time to time.
2. Brasserie On The Corner's vanilla crème brûlée
With cinnamon, rum and raisin ice cream, we can't think of anything better for a Friday night feast in Galway.
1. Queen Of Tart's… well, everything
This café specialises in cakes, pasteries and of course, tarts. So, you can pretty much grab anything you fancy. And it's all super delicious too.
