Iced VoVo
Australian biscuit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An Iced VoVo is a wheat flour biscuit topped with two strips of pink fondant flanking a strip of raspberry jam and sprinkled with coconut.[1] It is a product of the Australian-based biscuit company Arnott's. Previously known as Iced Vo-Vo biscuits, the trademark was registered in 1906.[1]
On 24 November 2007, Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd made a light-hearted mention of Iced VoVos in his election victory speech, jokingly urging his team to have a strong cup of tea with an Iced VoVo before getting to work.[2] This reportedly led to skyrocketing Iced VoVo sales, prompting Arnott's to send a shipping pallet of the biscuits to the Prime Minister's office in Canberra's Parliament House.[3]
Several limited edition Iced Vovo-inspired products have been released over the years. In 2017, Arnott's and Peters Ice Cream partnered to release an Iced VoVo ice cream.[4] Iced VoVo-inspired ice cream was released again in 2026 by Coles.[5] Iced VoVo-inspired hot cross buns were released by Coles in 2024 and 2026.[6][7] Iced VoVo-inspired Tim Tams were released in 2026.[8]
A similar product to Iced VoVo called Mikado has been sold in Ireland by Jacob's since 1888.[9]
