The shell is the product. A rough, brittle chocolate coating studded with nut pieces goes over plain vanilla, and the contrast between the two is the whole design. Rough rather than smooth is deliberate. An even coating cracks in clean plates, where a textured one with nuts through it fractures unevenly and gives a longer, noisier first bite. The nuts also stop the shell setting as a single brittle sheet that slides off the ice cream underneath. The vanilla centre is deliberately unremarkable. On a bar built around its coating, a flavoured or swirled centre would compete with the shell rather than support it.
