Halloween is just around the corner, and it's that time of the year when we all crave some spooky treats to set the mood. Whether you're hosting a Halloween party or just want to indulge in some festive delights, we've got you covered. From savoury snacks to sweet desserts, these recipes are not only delicious but also incorporate the creamy goodness of milk, cream, or can be paired perfectly with Dale Farm ice cream.
Halloween is synonymous with fun, fright, and of course, food. While sweets and chocolate are the usual suspects, why not elevate your Halloween dessert game with a sophisticated yet spooky treat? Enter the Ghostly White Chocolate Mousse. With its creamy texture and yummy flavours, it's made using only the best bits, like Dale Farm's whipping cream. Ready to whip up this treat? Let's dive into the recipe!
200g white chocolate
300ml Dale Farm whipping cream
2 egg whites
A pinch of salt
Chocolate chips (for the eyes)
Begin by melting the white chocolate. Use a heatproof bowl placed over a pot of simmering water. Ensure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, pour in the Dale Farm whipping cream. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream until soft peaks form. This means when you lift the beaters, the cream should hold its shape but have a tip that slightly falls over.
In a separate, clean bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt. It's crucial to ensure there's no trace of yolk, as even a tiny bit can prevent the whites from whipping properly. Whisk until you achieve stiff peaks - the egg whites should stand upright without collapsing when the whisk is lifted.
Gently fold the slightly cooled melted chocolate into the whipped cream using a spatula. Ensure you fold and not stir, to retain the airiness. Once combined, gently fold in the whipped egg whites until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the combined mixture into individual serving glasses or ramekins. Smooth the top with a spatula and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the mousse to set and develop its flavors.
Just before serving, place two chocolate chips on the surface of each mousse, resembling the eyes of a ghost. This playful touch transforms a classic white chocolate mousse into a Halloween-themed delight.
This Creamy Pumpkin Soup is a delightful blend of rich flavours and creamy texture, making it a perfect dish for a chilly evening. The addition of fresh Dale Farm milk gives it a velvety consistency, while the pumpkin seeds add a delightful crunch. This soup is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients from the pumpkin, making it a healthy choice for any meal.
1 medium-sized pumpkin, peeled and diced
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
500ml vegetable stock
200ml Dale Farm milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Pumpkin seeds to garnish
Start by preparing all your ingredients. This means peeling and dicing the pumpkin, chopping the onion, and mincing the garlic.
In a large pot, heat a bit of oil or butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté them until they become translucent, releasing their flavours into the oil.
Add the diced pumpkin pieces to the pot. Stir and cook them for a few minutes, allowing them to absorb the flavours of the onion and garlic.
Pour in the vegetable stock. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it simmer until the pumpkin pieces become soft and tender.
Once the pumpkin is cooked through, use an immersion blender or a regular blender to puree the soup until it's smooth and creamy.
Return the blended soup to the pot (if you used a regular blender). Stir in the Dale Farm milk, warming the soup but ensuring it doesn't boil. Season with salt and pepper according to your preference.
Pour the soup into bowls. Garnish with a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds. Serve hot and enjoy!
Spooky Ice Cream Floats are the perfect treat for Halloween or even a party. The combination of creamy Dale Farm ice cream with your child’s fizzy drink creates a delightful and chilling concoction. Get ready to impress your guests with this simple yet spooky dessert!
Dale Farm ice cream (flavour of your choice)
Your choice of fizzy drink
Gummy worms
Begin by chilling your glass in the freezer for about 10 minutes. This will ensure that your float stays cold and fizzy for longer.
Take your chilled glass and scoop generous portions of Dale Farm ice cream into it. Depending on the size of your glass and your preference, 2-3 scoops should suffice.
Slowly pour your chosen fizzy drink over the ice cream. The drink will react with the ice cream, creating a frothy and bubbly layer on top. Pour until the glass is almost full, leaving some space for the gummy worms.
Now, for the fun part! Garnish your float with gummy worms. Let a few of them dangle out of the glass, giving the appearance of worms crawling out. This will add to the spooky effect and make your float the talk of the party.
The Vampire's Red Velvet Milkshake is a perfect treat for the kids this Halloween. Combining the rich flavours of red velvet cake with the creaminess of Dale Farm vanilla ice cream, this milkshake will be the talk of the ghost town.
2 scoops Dale Farm vanilla ice cream
200ml Dale Farm milk
2 slices red velvet cake
Dale Farm whipped cream for topping
Red food colouring
In a small bowl, mix a few drops of red food colouring with a small amount of water or clear syrup until you achieve a blood-like consistency. Set aside.
In a blender, combine the Dale Farm vanilla ice cream, Dale Farm milk, and slices of red velvet cake. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring that the cake is fully incorporated into the milkshake.
Transfer the blended mixture into a tall glass. Drizzle the prepared red syrup along the sides of the glass, allowing it to drip for a dramatic effect. This will give the appearance of dripping blood, enhancing the vampire theme.
Finish by adding a generous dollop of Dale Farm whipped cream on top. For an extra touch, you can drizzle a bit more red syrup over the whipped cream.
