Supermarket own-brand ice cream crowned better than Cornetto in taste test – and it's less than half the price
A brand new ice cream inspired by a retro treat has also hit shelves N-ICE ONE Supermarket own-brand ice cream crowned better than Cornetto in taste test – and it's less than half the price Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) 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.

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 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.
