The Specially Selected Tiramisu Gelato has landed in the freezer aisle for just £2.49 a tub (480ml), and fans are calling it the 'Dubai chocolate' of 2025.
The arrival has whipped foodies into a frenzy, with social media review giants like foodreviewsuk and snackreviews urging their followers to 'get it while they can' .
Crafted in Italy, this posh pud takes the classic tiramisu to new heights.
It's loaded with silky, creamy gelato, swirled through with a rich coffee sauce and finished with a boozy kick of Marsala wine.
One fan gushed: 'I am drooling…'.
Another confessed: 'I'd inhale the whole thing!'.
While a third simply declared: 'Absolutely delicious – take me to Aldi now!'.
It's layered, it's luxurious, and at just £2.49 it's a steal compared to similar desserts at supermarkets.
Sainsbury's Tiramisu Gelato retails for £4.40 - almost double the price.
Others are selling Tiramisu inspired puddings, confirming it might just be this summer's big flavour.
Waitrose, for example, is flogging a Pistachio Tiramisu for £6.50, while Sainsbury's has a Taste the Difference version at £4.50.

The nation's tiramisu obsession isn't stopping in supermarket aisles.
Coffee chains are jumping on the trend, with Costa launching its new Tiramisu Iced Whipped Latte for £4.90 and a super indulgent Tiramisu Frappe for £5.35.
Both drinks are thick, creamy and packed with that classic coffee-and-cream kick, perfect for cooling off in the summer heat.
For those on the go, Costa's also got ready-to-drink tiramisu cans for just £2.50.
Starbucks is also serving up a Tiramisu Cream Iced Latte for £4.95 and it's already a hit with fans who say it tastes like dessert in a cup.
But back to the Aldi gelato — shoppers are comparing it to the viral 'Dubai chocolate' sensation for its boujee vibes and bargain price.
And with a zesty Specially Selected Lemon Meringue Gelato also hitting freezers at the same price, there's something for every sweet tooth.
We've approached Aldi to find out how long the Gelato flavours will remain on shelves.

SAVE MONEY AT ALDI
Keeping your eyes peeled for cheap Specialbuys is just one way to save money at Aldi.
The supermarket often comes out cheapest for a smaller trolley of items in Which? surveys as well, including in April.
The consumer website recently found a shopping list of 79 items would have cost you £135.95 on average across the month.
Rival Lidl was close behind, with the same shop costing £136.64, if you had a Lidl Plus card.
It's worth keeping an eye out for any red sticker products too, which are added to items going out of date or that are slightly damaged.
Aldi tends to add them to items in the morning so it's best to get to your local branch early if you want to get the best discounts.
Take advantage of Aldi's cheap alcohol which could save you some cash compared to going with branded versions.
Look out for Too Good to Go "Surprise Bags" as well.
They cost just £3.30 and come with £10 worth of food approaching its sell-by or use-by date inside.
You have to reserve a bag via the Too Good to Go app and then can collect it from your nearest store.
