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!

Do it @BeardofHagrid !

It would be an instant success. I want some now. grrrrrr - yum!

Because you haven't made it yet.

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

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

You can get Mr Kipling Ice Cream, they do French Fancy, Cherry Bakewell and Viennese Whirl.

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...

M&S do a nice neopolitan

CrispSandwich14 · 04/07/2024 17:55

Oh my god. I'll buy it OP!!!!!!!! In fact I'd be your best customer!

CormorantStrikesBack · 04/07/2024 17:55

Co-op do a nice neopolitan cornetto.

tate and Lyle used to do an amazing golden syrup ice cream, I miss that.

catmothertes1 · 04/07/2024 17:59

I so want to try this!

Sgtmajormummy · 04/07/2024 18:01

I was imagining it as an Arctic Roll hybrid, too @PickAChew .

Slushynana · 04/07/2024 18:06

I used to love the Neapolitan we used to get when I was little, it was strawberry, vanilla and pistachio don’t know why they changed it to chocolate. (I am nearly 70 so was a long time ago) I would definitely eat your Battenberg icecream marzipan is my favourite.

Darlingtonvoter · 04/07/2024 18:15

Santa is an anagram of Satan, marzipan is an anagram of delicious.

Agree with, you want the strawberry and vanilla icecream wrapped in marzipan. Yum! I may have to make this for myself.

slapmyarseandcallmemary · 04/07/2024 18:16

Omg, I would buy this yum!!

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 🤣

Queues a mile long if we ever have a summer day.. Well worth it🍦 😋

Mr Kipling should do it. They already do a fondant fancy one and a Viennese whirl one.

GalileoHumpkins · 04/07/2024 18:28

Battenberg is the worst cake and it would make the worst ice cream.

badger2005 · 04/07/2024 18:32

I think the marzipan should be marzipan flavoured icecream (like OP's plan?) rather than actual marzipan... just really want to try it... OP maybe you should make a few different sorts of versions to try?

Its fookin disgusting like everything Mr Kipling makes! (vienniese whirls excepted)

Mrsjayy · 04/07/2024 18:36

I'm sure when I was young there was a Battenburg artic roll I mean I might have imagined it but this thread has stirred a memory.

LadyGreySpillsTheTea · 04/07/2024 18:38

It’s fairly easy in Italy to find trifle ice-cream, amusingly called English Soup (zuppa inglese). It’s delish.

ginasevern · 04/07/2024 18:43

Yes please.
