Dominique Ansel Bakery London is celebrating the arrival of spring with the launch of brand new sweet treat Rhubarb & Custard Soft Serve.

The classic rhubarb and custard flavour combination will be transformed into a twirl of silky soft serve with homemade fresh rhubarb sorbet swirled together with creamy custard soft serve in a hand-rolled ginger honey tuile waffle cone and topped with a crunchy rhubarb crisp to finish.

This vibrant decadent treat will launch on Friday 22nd March starting at 11am and be served daily, providing Londoners with a new way to enjoy the flavour combination priced at £6.50 for takeaway and £7.80 for eating in.

“I’ve always loved soft serve and the smooth and silky texture, and it’s a sign that warm weather’s to come. We decided on a swirl of rhubarb sorbet with creamy custard soft serve, all in a hand-rolled ginger honey tuile waffle cone and topped with a rhubarb crisp, classic British flavours that balance together, with the bright tartness of the sorbet complemented by creamy custard, just in time for springtime in London,” says Chef Dominique.

The Rhubarb & Custard Soft Serve will be exclusively served at the Dominique Ansel Bakery London and follows the viral success of the What-A-Melon Soft Serve when social media videos of the product accumulated almost one hundred million views.
