Ice Cream


We like our ice cream! Over £1 billion a year is spent on ice cream in the UK alone. It is a treat, often bought on impulse and evokes a holiday spirit. You don't have to miss out on this treat. Find out more…


Be Good to Yourself, Sainsbury's*

Toffee Flavoured Dairy Iced Dessert, Be Good to Yourself, Sainsbury's*

Looked delicious, solid and creamy. Delightful crunchy bits of toffee thrown in. A sumptuous treat!

Count On Us, Marks & Spencer*

Voluptuous Vanilla Ice Cream, Count On Us, Marks & Spencer*

The packaging looks tempting and this brand did not let us down. A lovely creamy taste which melted in the mouth. A close second.

Vanilla Flavour Iced Dessert, Weight Watchers, Heinz*

Compared to the other brands on offer, this ice cream looked a little watery. However it tasted good and had a firm texture. An acceptable vanilla ice cream.

Vanilla Light Soft Scoop Ice Cream, 25% Less Fat, Morrisons*

A solid and creamy looking ice cream, this brand tasted a little sweet. Not unpleasant but did not stand out as being very good or very bad.

Vanilla Soft Scoop Ice Cream, 25% Less Fat, Asda*

This brand looked full of ice crystals suggesting a high water content. Fluffy looking, the ice cream evaporated very quickly. Our panel agreed it didn't taste like ice cream.

Toffee Ice Cream, Too Good to be True, Wall's*

Looked delicious and stood out amongst the others, but our panelists found it flatters to deceive! Very, very sweet to the point of being sickly. One panelist declared ‘it had to be low in calories because you'd only manage a mouthful'.

Conclusion

You clearly don't have to miss out on this treat - there are some good ranges around. Once you find the range you like, try their other flavours. Sainsbury's was a clear winner, Marks & Spencer's was a close second and I'm sorry but Wall's need to go back to the drawing board!
