ICE cream sales across the UK are set to skyrocket as the weather heats up.
Whilst you might not be able to pick up a Mr Whippy for 99p these days, we’ve found a Cornetto dupe that tastes even better than the real deal.
Lidl’s Bon Gelati Ice Cream Cones came up tops after they were included in a blind taste test.
A box of six 120ml cones costs just £1.99 – which works out to be 33p per ice cream.
The frozen treats come in three different flavours: chocolate vanilla, vanilla and strawberry vanilla.
And of course, the tip is filled with solid chocolate to really leave a sweet taste in your mouth.
Despite being a freezer classic, Cornetto was the least favourite brand in the test.
In Tesco, a box of classic Cornettos cost £3.75 and they are 100ml – so more expensive and smaller than Lidl’s offering.
If Cornetto dupes aren’t your bag, Morrisons is serving up a new ice cream inspired by Angel Delight.
Fans are going wild for the Ice Cream Twists, inspired by the fluffy, mallowy flavours of the nostalgic pud but in a refreshing soft serve form.
Landing in two “dreamy” duos – Butterscotch & Chocolate and Strawberry & Vanilla – these soft-serve-style snacks are made for BBQS, park picnics, or just scoffing straight from the freezer on a sunny bank holiday.
The icy treats are on shelves now at Morrisons – £2.50 a pop or 2 for £4 in selected stores.
Just the announcement of the retro scoops had ice cream fans taking a trip down memory lane.
One wrote: “Love Angel Delight as a kid. Still do now. Gonna have to get these.”
A second agreed: “Omg I’m defo gonna need banana ones.”
Dedicated dessert fans have been calling for the soft serve ice cream tubs, which were already available on Trolley.co.uk, to be available in actual stores.
Angel Delight reckon they’re the ultimate blast-from-the-past snack, perfect for grown-ups chasing that retro sugar fix or kids discovering the magic for the first time.
