Crumbs and Cream ~ Out & About

Crumbs and Cream

Crumbs and Cream

Crumbs and Cream is a new sensation to have hit the streets of Cape Town this summer! I was fortunate enough to visit this quirky ice cream truck at the Watershed Market, at the V&A Waterfront. What a treat! Choose two freshly baked cookies from a selection of delicious flavours. Pick a scoop of delectable Italian ice-cream – et voila you are in ice cream heaven!

Crumbs and Cream Cape Town

Sisters, Shahar and Or Peled, always dreamed of a home full of ice cream and cookies, so they combined the two to make a delicious ice cream sandwich. After trying out many different cookie and ice cream recipes to find the very best, Crumbs & Cream was born!

All the Crumbs & Cream cookies are baked daily, so they are always fresh and warm! Crumbs & Cream have different cookie flavours, which include: candy crush, butter, choc chips, peanut butter, brownies, Oreo and more…

Crumbs & Cream

They also have different flavours of ice cream, including: Chocolate, Mint Choc Chip, Caramel fudge, Rum&Raisin. As well as Ice Cream you will find Sorbet, which is vegan and fat FREE. Flavours can include:
Wildberry, grandilla-mango, strawberry, lemon, tropical mango, blueberry…

The Crumbs and Cream menu is whatever you make it. Pick your cookies – I chose 2 different flavours, Brownies and Oreo and decided on a Vanilla Ice Cream centre. You can also add some yummy toppings! The choice is yours!

If you simply cannot make up your mind, then the super friendly staff are more than happy to offer some guidance! They also offer delectable specials, in house creations and limited edition products.

Not only are the ice cream sandwiches to die for but their ice coffee is amazing! But don’t only take my word for it, pop along and have your own Crumbs and Cream experience!

Ice Cream sandwiches sell for R35 each. You can also buy the ice cream and cookies separately, which could be a fun desert option if you are entertaining friends.

The truck does move around so it is best to follow their Facebook page for the exact location each day!

Taj Cape Town Afternoon Tea

Taj-Cape-Town Afternoon Tea

I recently spent a wonderful afternoon, with one of my closest friends, at the Taj Hotel Cape Town. I could think of nothing better than afternoon tea, at a luxurious hotel, in the heart of the Cape Town CBD. What a treat and some much needed girly time! [Read more…]

Spiced White Chocolate Panna cotta

Spiced White Chocolate Panna Cotta

This recipe was created as part of a “Spice It Up” cooking challenge. I thought that a Spiced White Chocolate Panna cotta would be a change from the norm.

Pear and Amarula Custard Tarts

I was quite excited when I found out that this challenge, Creamy Capers, could be a dessert recipe! Although I must admit I am much more comfortable cooking savoury dishes but this is a cooking “challenge” after all. As we were allowed to use pears in our recipe and it had to include a custard-based element, I decided on Pear and Custard Tarts.

Tanqueray Gin and Lindt Chocolate Pairing

Grant-&-I

Last week I was invited to attend an exclusive cocktail and chocolate tasting evening, hosted at the Lindt Chocolate Studio, at the Cape Quarter in Cape Town. The event was held to celebrate a new partnership, between Tanqueray Gin and Lindt Chocolate!

Lindt-+-Tanqueray

The great thing is we were allowed to take a plus one, so I took the hubby – we both love Gin, especially Tanqueray and who can resist Lindt Chocolate!

Lindt-Chocolatier-+-Mixolog

We had high hopes for the evening and we were not dissapointed! First off we were treated to a master class, in cocktail making, by an expert mixologist.  He introduced us to the craft that is Gin production. Who knew that it was such and involved process!

The recipe for Tanqueray remains a a closely guarded trade secret but is known to contain four key botanicals which are juniper, coriander, angelica root and liquorice. These ingredients all work together in perfect harmony to create a unique London dry gin.

Tanqueray

Next on the agenda was preparing the new Tanqueray cocktails. It was great to not only taste but to prepare the cocktails ourselves, we learnt all the tricks of the trade when it comes to cocktail-making!

Flipped-Symphony

My favourite cocktail was the “Flipped Symphony” a take on the traditional “Eggnog” – it was totally delish, with hints of Vanilla and Espresso two of my favourite flavours.

Cocktail-Drinking Cocktail-Drinking2

Each cocktail was paired with a Lindt Chocolate Flavour and my favourite combo, was the Coconut Intense with the Tanqueray Breeze.

Lindt-Chocolate

We then had the honour of meeting a Lindt chocolatier, who educated us on all things chocolate! To top off a wonderful evening we were shown how to master a decadent chocolate fondant dessert. Made with Lindt chocolate of course! This was served with the most delicious Vanilla and Coconut Ice Cream – also made by Lindt.

I thought I would share the Chocolate Fondant Recipe with you – it looked so super easy to make and is definitely something I am going to try and make!

Lindt-Chocolate-Fondant2

Lindt 70% Chocolate Fondant:

Ingredients:

  • 225g 70% Excellence Lindt Chocolate
  • 22g Butter
  • Orange Extract
  • 250g Eggs
  • 80g Egg Yolks
  • 200g Sugar
  • 100g Flour
  • Salt

Method:

Preheat your oven to 180ºc. Place the butter, chocolate into a double boiler and allow to melt or alternatively melt gently in the microwave. Mix the eggs and the egg yokes together lightly, do not whisk air in to them. Pour the melted chocolate mix into the eggs, whilst stirring. Then stir in the sugar and flour mix. Mix until a smooth mass – do not over mix. Grease your ramekins or dariole molds and coat with castor sugar. Pour the Fondant mixture into a piping bag and pipe into your molds. Bake at 180ºc for 11minutes. Allow to rest once baked then unmold and serve.

Many thanks to both Tanqueray and Lindt for a fabulously fun evening!
