On ‘Ice Cream Day’ eleven residents from the Edensor Care home in Clacton enjoyed a taste test to select their preferred flavour of their favourite dessert.
On 21 July, to celebrate National Ice Cream Day, eleven residents from the Edensor Nursing and Dementia Care Centre in Clacton-on-Sea, who all love ice cream, were asked to sample four different flavours and choose their number one ice cream.
The ice creams put forward for the taste test were care home favourites, Strawberry Cornetto, Exotic Solero, Chocolate Magnum and Pineapple Twister.
The eleven residents registered a vote for their favourite flavour and the results of the poll were.
Number 1 – Magnum Chocolate
Number 2 – Exotic Solero
Number 3 – Strawberry Cornetto
Number 4 – Pineapple Twister
Ewa Ruskowiak, Care Coordinator, Edensor Care Home said, “The weather was so good on Sunday’s Ice Cream Day that it was the perfect opportunity for our residents to cool off with some ice creams. All our residents enjoyed an iced treat but eleven of our residents, who really love ice cream, were asked to do a taste test between four of Edensor’s favourite treats.”
Although the chocolate Magnum was a clear winner, all the ice creams were selected as a favourite flavour from at least one of the testers.
