Customers can enjoy real Italian ice cream

Tucked away in the heart of a Nottinghamshire town lies a magical dessert shop.

The Little Dessert Shop in Sutton-in-Ashfield offers a range of sweet treats and is just a 30-minute drive from Nottingham.

After receiving an invite, I went along during the bank holiday weekend to give it a try.

Having not been there myself before, I was excited to find out what it had to offer.

When I arrived, I was warmly greeted by friendly staff who showed me to a table.

There was a range of different desserts to choose from including waffles, pancakes, ice cream sundaes and milkshakes.

It was quite hard to choose just one but after browsing the menu for a few minutes, I opted on the strawberry sensation waffle.

‘Huge portions’

Shortly after I ordered, a bold and colourful dessert arrived at my table.

The portion was huge and I was impressed by how beautifully it had been arranged.

Four waffles were covered in strawberries and drizzled with melted chocolate and raspberry sauce.

The dessert was quite rich so I chose to have a side of vanilla ice cream with mine.

I’ve eaten many waffles before, but I have to say I was particularly impressed with these.

The waffles tasted freshly baked and were still warm.

They were also covered in a rich and heavenly melted chocolate sauce which was complimented with the strong fruity flavour of the raspberry sauce.

The ice cream was light and fluffy and tasted like proper Italian ice cream.

The strawberries complimented the chocolate perfectly and were neatly arranged in thin slices on top of the waffles.

I also ordered a passionfruit lemonade to drink and this also did not disappoint.

The tangy fruit flavour worked really well and was a great way to wash down my dessert.

Prices for the desserts ranged from £8 to £15 meaning they were not cheap.

But the quality was amazing and this is definitely a great place to go for a special occasion.

The staff were very helpful and I didn’t have to wait long to be served.

There several other families in there while I was there, and I could clearly see that everyone was enjoying themselves.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and I will definitely be going back again soon.

The Little Dessert Shop in Sutton-in-Ashfield is located on Forest Retail Park, Forest Street, in Sutton-in-Ashfield.

It’s open Monday to Friday from 3pm to midnight and between 12 noon and midnight at the weekend.
