Halloween-themed dough bites and ice-cream to make you scream
BITE NIGHT: Halloween dough bites (ve) are crafted with Crosstown’s black cocoa dough, filled with homemade raspberry jam and topped with a dark berry glaze, with each dough bite hand-finished with ghoulish decorations.
ALL SCREAM FOR ICE-CREAM: Not missing a trick (or treat) they’ve also created two deliciously wicked, limited edition ice cream flavours that make an indulgent dessert or late-night treat.
Spiced Pumpkin Cake Ice Cream: Doubling down on the pumpkin this season, they’ve roasted the best seasonal pumpkins from a farm in Cambridgeshire with traditional autumnal spices, to create a velvety and delicious ice cream base, through which pieces of their pumpkin cake doughnut are folded. Customers are advised to get in quick, though, as this epic new flavour isn’t around for long!
