90 minutes
Ice cream with Tula gingerbread is a refined blend of Russian traditions and delicate taste. The historical Tula gingerbread, known since the 18th century, adds rich notes of honey, spices, and caramel to the dessert. Spices like cinnamon, clove, and cardamom create a rich aroma while the creamy texture comes from soft cream and milk. This dessert warms the soul with its complex, layered flavor: the spiciness of the spices harmonizes with the tenderness of the ice cream, and pieces of gingerbread add a pleasant crunch. It's an ideal choice for those who appreciate Russian culinary heritage and want to try something special.
