Author Notes

This sandwich is a joyously messy experience and nostalgic even if you didn’t grow up in England eating raspberry ripple ice cream (which is vanilla with a raspberry swirl, for the rest of us). The recipe originally comes from Eat, Slater’s book full of simple, narrative recipe ideas, leaving the amounts to your taste and imagination. This mini recipe is adapted slightly from Genius Desserts (Ten Speed Press, September 2018), one of 7 ways to turn a loaf of bread into dessert. —Genius Recipes

I may be late to this party but oh my my! This was AMAZING. One of those recipes where the taste is way beyond the sum of its parts. It reminded me of a gloriously fresh cream puff with a delicious addition of summer berries. I'm going to have another right now!!

Our childhood home had raspberry bushes all across the backyard fence and my Mum created dozens of raspberry masterpieces. She made a virtually identical raspberry whipped cream for years and years, starting back in the 50's - except she slathered it on the angel food cake she made for my birthday every year!

We were introduced to this type of dessert during the World's Fair back in the 80's. They used Belgian waffles, but any waffle will do. You smash the berries into the holes and top with whipped cream or mashed vanilla ice cream. Very tasty!

I like the idea of this but would go more berries and less whipped cream can't wait to try it
