Boysenberry is a cross of raspberry, blackberry and loganberry, and it carries the colour of a blackberry with acidity closer to a raspberry. That tartness is what makes it work in ice cream, where a sweeter berry would simply disappear into the dairy. The colour is the other half of it. Boysenberry stains a base deep purple without needing anything added, which is unusual among berries, and it's why the tub reads as fruit before it's tasted. It sits in Bulla's Creamy Classics range among more conventional flavours, and it's the most fruit-forward thing in that line. The berry does all the work here: no swirl, no biscuit, nothing folded through it.
