THE IVY LAUNCHES DESSERT EDITION OF ITS ICONIC SHEPHERD’S PIE
This October, The Ivy is flipping tradition on its head with the launch of a limited-edition Shepherd’s Pie Dessert – a playful twist on its most iconic dish.
Fans of The Ivy’s iconic Shepherd’s pie are in for a real (sweet) treat this autumn, as The Ivy Collection launches a limited-edition Shepherd’s Pie Dessert.Available from 4th to 25th October, the new, exclusive dessert will be available in restaurants nationwide* and will be bound to tantalise tastebuds and confound the senses – in the best way.
The Ivy Shepherd’s Pie has been a long-standing favourite on its menus, with thousands being served up to guests across the decades. Now, in a first for the restaurant collection, the iconic dish goes sweet.
Despite appearances, there’s not a single pea or potato in sight – every element has been crafted to mimic the classic dish in sweet form. Fluffy carrot cake conceals a silky smooth melting chocolate dome, filled with a delightfully creamy chocolate ice cream centre. Topped with whipped cream to serve as the mashed potato, along with a digestive biscuit crumb and sprigs of candied rosemary, the dessert is accompanied by a warm chocolate sauce and a special bottle of Worcester sauce – the Worcester sauce being made from maple syrup, that is.
Sean Burbidge, Executive Chef at The Ivy Collection said: “The Ivy Shepherd’s Pie has always been one of The Ivy’s most loved dishes, so we wanted to have some fun with it and surprise our guests in a way that still feels true to our heritage. By reimagining it as a dessert, we’ve taken the comfort and nostalgia people associate with the classic and given it a playful, seasonal twist. It’s indulgent, a little unexpected, and above all – delicious.”
With availability limited for this exciting new dessert, guests are invited to book their table soon to avoid missing out.
*Available in all The Ivy Collection restaurants excluding The Original Ivy (West Street, London), The Ivy Belfast Brasserie and The Ivy Dawson Street (Dublin). Menus and pricing are subject to change and will differ between restaurants.
