Why is there no Battenberg ice cream?

It would be like a Viennetta, on a little serving tray ready to be sliced after any dinner party or special occasion. The “marzipan” would be intensely flavoured and extra thick almond ice cream. The pink squares would have a very mild strawberry flavour, and rich vanilla for the plain squares.

I think it would be exquisite!

Well now I need to figure out how to make this!

bergamotorange · 04/07/2024 17:02

It sounds nice, you should have launched it yourself.

Although marzipan is quite a marmite flavour.

GasPanic · 04/07/2024 17:02

Because marzipan is the work of Satan.

It is literally an anagram of Satan.

I would definitely buy this!

Namechanger385u4p · 04/07/2024 17:04

Oh OP i will buy this when you launch this new product 🤣🤣

Compash · 04/07/2024 17:05

If you need a tester for the research and development stage... 😋

I can't even find Neopolitan any more! That vanilla/choc/strawb combo was a winner for me...

RitaAndFrank · 04/07/2024 17:05

Sounds dreamy 😋

RebelIdeas · 04/07/2024 17:06

I will buy it!

Allthislovelygreen · 04/07/2024 17:08

I would really buy this!

NeverDropYourMooncup · 04/07/2024 17:08

And Cherry Bakewell flavour. Almond & vanilla with cherry sauce.

None of that gluten/sponge cake/pastry/cookie shite in them, though.

evtheria · 04/07/2024 17:09

A local ice cream maker makes this flavour sometimes. If you live in the NW of Eng I can pm you the place* so you can stalk their daily menu.

*Will not be revealing to all and sundry because the queues are bloody long enough as it is 🤣

Morrisons still sell neopolitan if you have one near you.

badger2005 · 04/07/2024 17:14

Wow - sound good!
Do you think that when you sliced it the structural integrity would be there so you could see the individual squares? I'm trying to remember what happens when you slice into a block of neapolitan...

fedupdontknowwheretoputmyself · 04/07/2024 17:23

Yes! I need some of this immediately 😋 I await the launch ☺️

CeeJay81 · 04/07/2024 17:26

Yes please. This sounds like a fab idea😋

LIDLs also does Neapolitan ice-cream too.

CaptainCabinets · 04/07/2024 17:30

Oh OP 😫😫😫😫 this has gone on my list of pregnancy cravings that I can’t have because it doesn’t exist!!

I don’t agree but this proper tickled me 😂

HarrietJonesFlydaleNorth · 04/07/2024 17:33

I just asked the teenager the OPs question:

Because.... no-one would buy it, Mum.

I on the other hand think it would be well lush.

FrustyOldCrump · 04/07/2024 17:36

I'd buy it, but I would prefer it with real marzipan.

shellyleppard · 04/07/2024 17:37

@compash they sell Neapolitan ice cream in Morrisons. Think I've seen it in Iceland too....love it myself Lol

Scorchio84 · 04/07/2024 17:39

I love Battenburg cakes & I'm not a sweet loving person at all but it just has so many happy childhood memories of being in my aunties

I'd definitely give this a go (also not really an ice cream lover😆)

GigiAnnna · 04/07/2024 17:40

This would be amazing. It's hard enough finding even a battenberg cake anymore. The only ones I see these days are mini ones.

leeverarch · 04/07/2024 17:40

I've never seen Battenberg ice cream but yes, you'll have to make do with Neapolitan instead.

UpThePankhurst · 04/07/2024 17:42

Oh my, yes. Yes yes yes. Need this in my life.
