Walnut whip
Walnut Whip is a popular British confectionery product manufactured by Nestlé. It was first introduced in the UK in 1910, making it one of the oldest sweets in the country. The Walnut Whip is a distinctive, cone-shaped chocolate treat, filled with a whipped vanilla fondant and topped with a half walnut.
History[edit | edit source]
The Walnut Whip was first produced by Duncan's of Edinburgh in 1910. In 1969, the company was acquired by Rowntree's, which was subsequently taken over by Nestlé in 1988. Over the years, the Walnut Whip has undergone several changes in its recipe and packaging, but its iconic shape and the combination of chocolate, vanilla, and walnut have remained constant.
Composition[edit | edit source]
The Walnut Whip is composed of three main components: the chocolate shell, the vanilla fondant filling, and the walnut topping. The shell is made from milk chocolate, which is moulded into a distinctive cone shape. Inside the shell is a soft, whipped vanilla fondant. The top of the Walnut Whip is adorned with a half walnut, which gives the treat its name.
Variations[edit | edit source]
Over the years, several variations of the Walnut Whip have been introduced. These include the Mint Whip, which features a mint-flavoured fondant filling, and the Caramel Whip, which has a caramel fondant filling. There have also been limited edition flavours, such as strawberry and coffee.
Popularity[edit | edit source]
The Walnut Whip is a beloved treat in the UK, with millions sold each year. Its unique combination of textures and flavours, along with its distinctive shape, have made it a favourite among British consumers for over a century.
