The ice cream starts off with rich, velvety chocolate ice cream with swirls of raspberry and chunks of chocolate truffles in every bite. The ice cream thus balances out the richness of the chocolate with the tartness of raspberries to give it a sweet, creamy and even flavor profile on the palate. Graeter's Ice Cream Chocolate Raspberry Truffle is positioned as the perfect shoulder season treat to help consumers make the transition from the hot summer months to the cooler autumnal weather a little bit easier.
