Best shop bought ice cream

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?

Yes this! But it’s never on offer 😫

Sainsbury’s have it on offer at the minute here in NI. Not sure if offers are the same across the UK, but I imagine so. Quick!😆

Years and years ago, my favourite ice cream was made by Dayville’s, it was called Tiger Stripe and was orange ice cream swirled with chocolate. Dayville’s is long gone but I discovered similar when I was visiting a friend on the Isle of Wight recently.

My current favourite is M&S mocha ice cream 😋

Waitrose Colombian coffee

Haagen Dazs Dulce de Leche. Heaven! 😋

Wetblanket78 · 05/07/2026 22:48

Haagan Dazs strawberry cheesecake though I recently discovered there's now a Nutella one I've not tried yet. Anyone tried it?

Haagen Daz salted caramel

My ultimate favourite 😍 😋

Has anyone seen tutti-frutti in the supermarkets? I haven't in years! Would love it if it was brought back!

Farmfoods do one but I’ve not tried it!
I live near an ice cream farm and they do an orange and mascarpone and a banana that I would dream about when I was pregnant, luckily they do take home tubs 😀 All this has just reminded me I’m due my annual lemon top at Whitby at the weekend 🍦

Duchy Organic Vanilla. I'm not a fan of fancy flavours

Iknowthatfeeling · 05/07/2026 22:54

Mine is a bit localised. We have one called Bennetts and they do a Dark Chocolate one, not with the weird bitty chocolate bits Morrisons Best does or the big chunks of sauce Carte Dor does (I'm not an icecream connoisseur as you can tell) but just smooth creamy but almost bitter chocolate ice cream. Made with double cream and milk.

Or Kelly's Clotted Cream is pretty good.

Simple vanilla ice cream with a flake!!!

special mention for aldi’s versions of calippos, loop the loop and magnum (all better than the originals!!!)

Petal7 · 05/07/2026 22:55

Ottolenghi coffee and cardamom (from Waitrose)

Had this one today, it's lovely! The kids prefer Ben & Jerry's churros or peanut butter cup.

Their fiestas are also amazing.. like a feast but the centre bit is so much better

GreenCaterpillarOnALeaf · 05/07/2026 22:57

I personally like Ben and Jerrys Phish Food but probably because that was a “real” treat when we were kids. Real treat meaning we hardly ever got it. The Green and Blacks vanilla one hits hard has well.

I also love this cheesecake ice cream. Haven’t found a good shop brought one though, but there’s a place in Edinburgh that does a BANGING blueberry cheesecake ice cream, like not too sweet, proper cheesecake flavour.

Vienetta! I’m a very old bod & this seemed to be the height of luxury that my parents couldn’t quite afford in the 80s. Let alone being able to get the mint version! Smile

Still feel a bit the same about it today! Star

Clawdy · 05/07/2026 23:00

Kelly’s salted caramel.

Ree730 · 05/07/2026 23:07

This fully loaded one from Tesco. It’s 10/10. Lots of fillings in it. They do a brownie one too which is equally as nice.

JustHearMeOut · 06/07/2026 03:32

Mackies vanilla with a blob of Nutella and some chopped nuts. Kelly's clotted cream also good.

I've not seen this for years, I thought they retired it. Where can you buy it?

Apparently only around Scotland
