description Viennetta Vanilla Overview
Viennetta Vanilla is a frozen dessert made from repeated layers of vanilla ice cream and thin chocolate-flavored sheets. Introduced by Wall's in 1982, it is distinguished by a rippled, wave-like structure that gives the sliced dessert alternating creamy and crisp textures. Viennetta is sold as a shareable loaf rather than an individual bar or cone and is normally cut into portions for serving. The brand is owned by Unilever and has been marketed under different Unilever ice cream names in different countries.
