I've just finished the last of the tub in freezer, Mackie's Raspberry Ripple.
I'd give it 7/10.

What is your favourite please?

Mackies traditional.with strawberries or some tinned fruit cocktail

TemporarilyCantDoMyself · 05/07/2026 18:38

Judes; cherries and cream, rum and raisin (better than Haagen Dazs r &r), Siclian lemon.
Haagen Dazs; mango and raspberry, Belgian choc (nice with added single cream).
Kelly's raspberry ripple!
Kulfi Ice Cream - Tesco have it, Asda sometimes too.
Waitrose own Mascarpone and Sicilian lemon, and their Belgian dark chocolate and sour cherry.
I bloody love ice cream! 😂

Kelly's Clotted cream

bugalugs45 · 05/07/2026 18:39

Ben and jerrys chocolate fudge brownie , or Haagen daaz strawberry shortcake , depending on my mood .
B&J cookie dough is a close second or alternative is chocolate fudge not available .
I love the coconut one from M&S , but obviously coconut is an acquired taste .

Haagen Daz salted caramel

Kelly’s clotted cream!

Mackies vanilla is my go to supermarket brand but my favourite is Colpi! A delicious traditional Italian ice-cream made locally and sold in some nearby shops and in their ice-cream parlour. 🍦🍦🍦

Haagen Dazs pralines and cream. Very very dangerous stuff😆

SunnySangria · 05/07/2026 18:49

I love coconut! And rum and raisin, so happy to take recommendations on both as they’re not very widely stocked as other flavours.

I love strawberry flavoured ice cream, but not strawberry flavour if you see what I mean.
(Yes, I’m fussy!)
Back in 80s/90s, I practically lived on M&S peach frozen yoghurt but somewhere down the line, it was discontinued 😢

Oh no! It'll be back!
You can always use a choc of your choice (Haagen Dazs or Waitrose own Santo Domingo choc is good) with Judes cherries and cream. And a dollop of Bonne Maman cherries and berries jam doesn't go amiss or a cherry coulis.

JustLookAround · 05/07/2026 19:00

Jude’s plant based mint chocolate

Swedish glace raspberry

Any of the booja-booja ones

CamilleBeauchamp · 05/07/2026 19:05

Joe's, of course! 😄🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Blueyblueyblue · 05/07/2026 19:08

Ben & Jerrys phish food.

SAzure · 05/07/2026 19:08

Waitrose No.1 Salted Caramel or Santo Domingo Chocolate.

ItalianChineseIndianMexican · 05/07/2026 19:09

This is my current favourite from Aldi!

Magnum does a Utopia Cherry and Dark Chocolate if that’s any consolation. Iceland.

Just putting it out there but given your preferences have you tried b&j half baked? It's the chocolate fudge brownie and cookie dough swirled in the same tub

This is the only answer!

Sunnnyday · 05/07/2026 19:13

The Aldi vanilla (standard small tub) is cheap and surprisingly good.

TheCurious0range · 05/07/2026 19:14

The Jude's ice creams are good especially the cherry and cream one, also hackney gelato chocolate and roasted hazelnut or amerena cherry cheesecake flavours

ClayPotaLot · 05/07/2026 19:15

Don’t think they still do it, but Waitrose malted marmalade was one of my all time favorites.

Mossstitch · 05/07/2026 19:17

All things haagen dasz for me, only one outside an Italian gelato😋😋😋
