It might be chilly outside but, with the snow beginning to thaw, the timing is just right for Morelli’s, Ireland’s most famous Italian ice cream brand, to arrive in Scottish supermarkets for the first time.

Now available in 65 Tesco stores across Scotland, Morelli’s bestselling Double Cream Vanilla ice cream is the perfect addition to your family freezer. This rich and creamy ice cream is delicious alone for a simple sweet treat, but also brings a luxurious touch to a huge array of delicious desserts; from family favourites such as sundaes and ice cream sandwiches, to indulgent delicacies like affogato, baked Alaska or elaborate ice cream cakes.

Created using fresh double cream and butter from the historic Ballyrashane Creamery, on Northern Ireland’s spectacular Causeway Coast, Morelli’s Double Cream Vanilla ice cream is sumptuously smooth and velvety, with an opulent vanilla flavour that lends itself to a variety of recipes.

Daniela Morelli-Kerr, Sales & Marketing Director at Morelli’s, said: ‘We are delighted to be bringing our award-winning Double Cream Vanilla ice cream to Scotland for the first time. Double Cream Vanilla is our signature flavour, and we can’t wait to see what Scots think of Northern Ireland’s favourite ice cream, and what exciting new desserts they will create!’

Morelli’s Ice Cream is a family-owned company that’s been creating delicious Italian ice cream on the Northern Irish coast since 1911, with five generations of Morellis all playing their part. Double Cream Vanilla is the brand’s most popular flavour, winning multiple national awards for its incredible taste—including Vanilla Ice Cream National Champion in the UK & Ireland 2019/2020.

Morelli’s talented team of development chefs have created a series of indulgent ice cream recipes, all using Morelli’s Double Cream Vanilla ice cream, to give you plenty of inspiration for new family favourites to enjoy again and again. From a decadent twist on tiramisu, to a grown-up espresso martini/affogato hybrid and retro ice cream cookie sandwiches, you can find the perfect recipe to add to your repertoire ahead of dinner parties being able to resume.

Morelli’s Double Cream Vanilla ice cream is now available in 65 Scottish Tesco stores, priced at £4 for a 950ml tub. For more information and recipe inspiration, visit Morellisices.com
