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 are just £1.99 for a box of six

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.
Five Lidl rosés you need this summer, according to a wine expert - a £6.99 buy is as light & crispy as £22 Whispering Angel
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.

Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Lidl is selling a £6 foldable backpack in stores from Thursday Credit: Lidl The 20litre capacity bag comes with a three-year warranty and unfolded measures H42.5 × W28 × D17cm. When not in use, it folds into its own pocket so you can pack it away into your hold luggage with no fuss - ideal for flights. The rucksack, which can hold 15kg maximum weight, also comes with padded adjustable shoulder straps. Of course, as is the case with all "Middle of Lidl" items, the foldable rucksack won't be around for long so you'll have to be quick if you want one. You also won't be able to order it online and will have to head down to your nearest Lidl store. You can find your nearest branch by using the retailer's store finder tool - The tool brings up your closest branch and also it's opening hours. Always remember to shop around when buying something like this though as you might find the same product or similar for less elsewhere. Websites like Trolley, Price Spy and Price Runner all let you compare prices on thousands of items. You can also use the Google Shopping/Product tab to quickly scan the internet and see how much retailers are selling products for. Items to always buy at Lidl We had a quick look to see if any other major retailers are selling a 20litre foldable rucksack for less than £6, but couldn't find any. Decathlon has one for £13 while Mountain Warehouse is selling one for £9. If the foldable rucksack doesn't take your fancy, Lidl has a host of other products in its Middle aisles at the minute. Shoppers can pick up fans to tackle the heat from £30, indoor and outdoor plants from £2 and bedding from £3.50. The retailer is also selling a shark arch water slide for £15 as well. How to save money at Lidl Lidl reduces items at the start of the day, and the best deals can be found between 7am and 8am, when most stores open. Shoppers can often find cooked meats, salmon fillets and breads reduced by 30% or more. Not only does Lidl have its own range of reasonably priced alcohol, it also has its own knock-offs of branded favourites – so say cheers to its bargain booze. Everyone knows about the "Middle of Lidl" – it's here where you'll find a load of random stuff you didn't realise you needed, at decent prices. But if you are hoping to avoid spending more than you planned, you can check what will be in the "Middle of Lidl" on the supermarket's website in advance. The Middle of Lidl is refreshed every Thursday and Sunday. Shoppers can also keep tabs on what's appearing in the "Pick of the Week" section on the Lidl website. The discounts happen every Thursday and are usually on fruit, vegetables, and meat.
