Now It’s Toffee Roll Ice Cream

Two local businesses are joining forces to create a new ice cream flavour based on a traditional toffee roll recipe. Yummy Yorkshire Ice Cream, based at Delph House Farm in Denby Dale, will be making the sweet treat using the secrets behind Ella Riley’s Toffee, which has a shop in Holmfirth.

The flavour is going to be launched on Bonfire Night at Yummy Yorkshire’s annual fireworks display. After that it’ll be available both at Delph House Farm on the Huddersfield-to-Penistone road, and at each of Ella Riley’s outlets in Holmfirth and Horbury Bridge.

Yummy Yorkshire founder Jeremy Holmes is quoted in their press statement as saying: “The resulting flavour is a smooth toffee ice cream with ripples of toffee throughout for that extra toffee fix. It’s melt-in-the-mouth delicious with that warm buttery taste people so fondly remember.”

Freya recently bought back the rights to make and sell the toffee rolls from Kraft, following its takeover of Cadbury. The rolls were produced for decades in Halifax during the last century until the trademark was originally sold. Freya uses a recipe left to her by her grandmother Ella Riley, the niece of the original company’s founders.
