History
editBlack raspberry is considered a regional ice cream flavor of New England, where it is commonly served in ice cream parlors,[1][2][3][4] but can also be found elsewhere. The type of black raspberry used to prepare the ice cream is rare and hard to grow, even in its native area of New England, and is only available for a short season, which some have suggested to be contributing factors to the flavor's popularity.[3][4]
Black raspberry ice cream often combines chocolate chips;[4] black raspberry chocolate chip is the signature flavor of the ice cream chain Graeter's.[5] In 2024, Tim Philpott, vice president of marketing at Graeter's, reported that this particular flavor comprises 18 to 20% of the company's sales.[6] Graeter's has also offered other variations, including the black raspberry chip donut[7] and their first bonus flavor, black raspberry cookies and cream.[5]
