Tiger tail ice cream, also called tiger tiger or tiger flavour, is a Canadian orange-flavoured ice cream with black liquorice swirl. [1] [2] It is named for its resemblance to orange and black tiger stripes. Tiger tail is most popular in Canada, particularly in southern Ontario, and not often found elsewhere in the world. [1] [2] it is a distinctly flavoured ice cream. [3] This flavour of ice cream is offered by such companies as Chapman's, [4] Kawartha, and Nestlé. [5] Tiger tail is considered a retro ice cream flavour, owing to its popularity from the 1950s to 1970s, and it has seen a nostalgia-related resurgence since the 2010s. [6] [5]

Ice cream is a frozen dessert typically made from milk or cream that has been flavoured with a sweetener, either sugar or an alternative, and a spice, such as cocoa or vanilla, or with fruit, such as strawberries or peaches. Food colouring is sometimes added in addition to stabilizers. The mixture is cooled below the freezing point of water and stirred to incorporate air spaces and prevent detectable ice crystals from forming. It can also be made by whisking a flavoured cream base and liquid nitrogen together. The result is a smooth, semi-solid foam that is solid at very low temperatures. It becomes more malleable as its temperature increases.
