We found a £2.50 tiramisu AND lemon ice cream that's even better than Remeo Gelato for a third of the price

WITH summer in full swing and shoppers racing to Aldi to snap up the supermarket's latest frozen gem, I knew that I needed to give it a try.
I'm a huge lover of the iconic Remeo Gelato, but at £6 a tub when bought from Ocado, or £7.49 when ordered directly from the brand itself, my dessert obsession doesn't come cheap.

However,
It's clear that the gelato's arrival has whipped
And after shoppers have raced to snap them up, it's no surprise that they've been dubbed the 'Dubai chocolate' of 2025.
There are two flavours to choose from and the ice creams, which recently landed in Aldi freezers, are just £2.49 for a 480ml tub.

Crafted in Italy, these posh puds take the classic tastes of tiramisu and lemon meringue to new heights.
The tiramisu flavour is loaded with silky, creamy gelato, swirled through with a rich coffee sauce and finished with a boozy kick of Marsala wine.
Meanwhile, as well as being layered and luxurious, the Lemon Meringue flavour is made with Sicilian lemon juice, silky-smooth ice cream and topped with meringue pieces.

Loving the lemon
While the Remeo Lemon Sorbet can be quite sharp, the Aldi alternative is not bitter in the slightest.
It is much more ice cream like, with an incredibly tasty creamy texture.
I'm a die-hard Aldi shopper but I trialled M&S for a week, I was so surprised, I'll definitely be back
The crunchy meringue pieces are delicious and if you ask me, it's the perfect sweet treat after a long day in the sun.
Not only is it super refreshing and mouth-watering, but to top it all off, at less than £2.50 a tub, it's incredibly adorable too.

Can't get enough of coffee
And it's not only the lemon flavour that gets a thumbs up from me - as the tiramisu gelato is another you'll need to add to your shopping list.
It's crammed full of flavour and really packs a punch for those looking for a treat that's sure to get you drooling

The Remeo Tiramisu Gelato is out of this world, but super hard to get hold of - and at almost £7.50 for a 430ml tub, it doesn't come cheap.
Thanks to the tiramisu trend, this tasty dessert is constantly sold out, but those strapped for cash can now breathe a sigh of relief, as Aldi's new tiramisu gelato is one you won't want to miss.
Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts
IF you've ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you'll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff.
Aldi's speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals.
It's all part of Aldi's plan to be as efficient as possible - and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers.
Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process.
It also uses 'shelf-ready' packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.
Like the Lemon Meringue flavour, it has a texture that's much more like ice cream than gelato, but despite this, it's really nice and incredibly creamy.
