Blue Skies Mango and Passionfruit Ice Cream

Blue Skies have 20 years of expertise in fruit. For 20 years they have supplied the freshest, hand-picked, hand-cut fruit straight from harvest to countries worldwide. Sold via leading retailers and often as own label rather than Blue Skies – everyone will have at least seen, if not tasted some delicious Blue Skies fruit.

Now Blue Skies has poured all that love, care and expertise into making the creamiest coconut milk fruit ice creams. Available in three flavours, Mango & Passion Fruit, Chocolate & Orange and simply Coconut. Blue Skies experts carefully grow, hand-pick and cut the fruit, choosing only the best, before churning it with creamy fresh coconut milk (also picked and cut by hand) at source. It goes straight from tree, to tub, to you.

By purchasing Blue Skies you’re not only treating yourself, you’re helping communities too. Blue Skies is committed to practicing equitable trade by ‘adding value at source’. Unlike most of their competitors, the finished ice creams are made in the country or region where the fruit is grown, rather than in factories elsewhere. By doing this, as much as 70% of the value of the finished product stays where the fruit is grown, compared to as little as 15% if it is produced outside the country. This means more jobs in the local community and an improved economic landscape.

Plus The Blue Skies Foundation has helped over 100,000 people across Africa by investing in over 70 projects throughout Ghana, Egypt, Senegal and South Africa. So by indulging in some delicious ice cream you can feel good, and a little less naughty, by knowing your tasty treat is helping others.

British entrepreneur and founder of Blue Skies, Anthony Pile, says: “The journey to fresh hasn’t been an easy one. At Blue Skies we believed no one had truly experienced how fresh fruit really tasted, but were told fresh from harvest and ready-to-eat fruit couldn’t be done. Determination and passion for fresh however won, and now our farms and factories in Africa and South America produce arguably the finest fresh-cut fruit produce in the world.

Now we want to bring more delicious fruit products to the world, and by combining creamy coconuts with our perfect, sun-ripened fruit we have a match made in ice cream heaven. We grow, cut and churn the fruit with the coconut milk at source, delivering a treat everyone can enjoy - all our ice creams are dairy free, gluten free and vegan friendly too. You get delicious fruit and coconut milk straight from tree to tub.

We hope that everyone enjoys the delicious fresh and creamy taste of Blue Skies ice cream, we have loved creating them – from growing the fruit right through to getting them to a freezer near you.”

So whatever your flavour, Mango & Passion Fruit, Chocolate & Orange or simply Coconut, Blue Skies ice cream is the perfect way to feel less guilty about treating yourself.
