Raspberry ripple is a super popular flavour of ice cream, especially in Great Britain. It's made by swirling sweet raspberry syrup into creamy vanilla ice cream. This creates a cool marbled look and a delicious fruity taste.

History of Raspberry Ripple

The idea of "ripple" ice cream likely started in the United States. This was back in the 1930s. The word "ripple" was used for any ice cream that had colourful, flavoured syrup swirled through it.

Around that time, new machines were invented. These machines could add fruit paste into ice cream in a special way. This created the beautiful marbled effect you see in raspberry ripple. Since then, raspberry ripple has been a favourite ice cream flavour for many people.
