A fan-favourite: The first-ever Ferrero ice creams for two of our most loved brands 

 
Fans of Ferrero Rocher will recognize the great taste and textural experience of the typical crunchy shell of delicious chocolate and masterfully roasted hazelnuts, which unfolds in a smooth hazelnut ice cream enriched with a delightful hazelnut and cocoa swirl.
