Artic roll - where to buy?

[HalfTermMission]

Dds birthday is tomorrow, she doesn't want a birthday cake, she wants an artic roll.

However, no where seems to be selling it at the moment (asda staff told us its a seasonal thing they only stock at Christmas).

We have tried Asda, Morrisons, Aldi, Waitrose, M&S and Farm Foods. All their freezers are full of roulades with meringue, but not a single basic primary school dinner style artic roll to be found.

If you have recently managed to buy a basic artic roll please could you let me know which supermarket/shop had it in stock.

I'd also love to know. I've been looking for ages.

Have you tried Iceland?

Make one? Buy some ice cream but make the sponge Classic Arctic roll recipe | Good Food https://share.google/FdDkGahMeXIIf39Ge

Iceland usually have them.

I don’t know how to break this to you, but they don’t make it any more. I looked for months.

This is the closest I found

Just googled & it suggested the Co Op stock an ice cream roll.
The Tesco I looked at were out of stock. But again it was listed as ice cream roll, not arctic roll.

We did go into the Range, which has a teeny Iceland shop in the corner. Zero artic roll, but it wasnt a full on huge Iceland (thats on my hitlist for tomorrow when I'm planning to drive further afield to check out freezers at Tesco & Sainsburies & maybe small corner shops)

Oh Co Op! We don't have one in town but Im sure there must be one within 20 minutes drive somewhere

I know she doesn't want a cake, but would a different ice cream cake suit? I really fancy and arctic roll now.

This one says out of stock but you 'might' find it in store: https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/299258237?srsltid=AfmBOooV6yZkZE8z-mjutSFl_Hd-CBBrVDeH8ZGTZ1CwGCuWm_M1GyLC

You’ll be lucky to find one unfortunately. They’ve been discontinued and are no longer available in Sainsbury’s/Asda/Co-OP/Morrison’s/Iceland/Tesco according to their sites and various arctic roll related threads. The only possibility might be a corner shop or Farmfoods. Though even that is unlikely.

It sounds like it would be easier to make one - you could even use a cake mix, to make it easier.
