Hatfield student designs sweet and sour ice cream for Tesco

A STUDENT has created a unique sweet and sour-flavoured ice cream which is set to be sold at supermarkets across the country.

Carrie Drake, who has just started a model design and model effects course at the Hatfield-based university, had her idea chosen from thousands.

New students were asked to come up with a unique ice cream product that could be made available on the high street at the uni’s freshers’ fair.

The university had engaged the team at Mad Professor, a unique corporate entertainment company, to run the competition and make up a sample of the sweet and sour ice cream for tasting and testing.

Runner-up flavours included the sushi sauce wasabi, sweet potato and Christmas pudding with custard.

University boffins have approached food giant Tesco with the aim of selling the sweet and sour ice cream in its stores in the near future.
