Chocolate fans who love Ferrero Rocher and Raffaello will be pleased to know that a cool treat is in store for the coming warmer months. The Ferrero Group who own both brands will be launching their ice cream stick range for the first time ever in the UK.
The capsule collection will come in three different flavours. Featuring a distinctive round shape, each ice cream is delicately balanced and is perfect for solo enjoyment, or even as a gift to a loved one, if you can bear to share.
Makers say that the new Ferrero Rocher Classic ice cream offers a 'multi-textured experience'. It combines the classic taste of Ferrero Rocher, with the addition of a hazelnut flavoured ice cream, enriched with a delicate hazelnut and cocoa swirl.
The much-loved crunchy roasted hazelnut pieces are embedded in a crisp chocolate coating. This means that the ice cream could travel well and be a treat 'on the go'.
The second flavour in the exciting range is the Ferrero Rocher Dark ice cream. This is thought to offer a richer taste experience, with a refined Ferrero dark chocolate coating and crunchy roasted hazelnut pieces.
Like the Classic flavour, consumers experience a smooth hazelnut-flavoured ice cream, enriched with a delightful hazelnut and cocoa swirl. To counteract the deep, dark chocolate is something of a mood-lifter in the shape of the Raffaello ice cream.
This is said to offer a 'refreshing blend of exotic taste and exciting textures'. It features a crisp white chocolate coating, embedded with coconut shavings and crunchy almond pieces wrapped around a coconut flavoured ice cream.
