A popular ice cream flavour has returned to a Bolton parlour, with it selling out in the space of a couple of days. 

With Easter favourite Cadbury's Mini Eggs back in supermarkets, Milk Maids have brought back their ice cream flavour based on the confectionery. 

The Over Hulton-based parlour announced its return on Facebook on Friday morning, and by Saturday afternoon, it had all sold out.

Fiona Partington, owner of Milk Maids, said: "On the approach to Easter, supermarkets have it in. I thought it was a bit early for Easter chocolate in January, but the lady who does our brownies had them so I thought why not.

"It's already sold out now, we have no more left! I used 18 bags of Mini Eggs for the stuff we had."

Customers could be seen queuing out of the door on Saturday at the shop, despite the frigid weather. 

Fiona added: "They have been queuing out of the door all day. People have been asking for the Mini Egg ice cream all day and it has gone the quickest, so I think it has had an impact." 

On the page's Facebook post, it said people ask for the flavour "all year round".
