New Waitrose ice cream

I did and I loved it! Yummy. There's not a lot of it in the tub for the price, so buy it quickly whilst it is still 25% off.

Thanks, I shall be down to Waitrise first thing ( stocking up on it!)

It's a clever mix and contrast of flavours - strong chocolate flavour for the ice cream and then the orange sorbet which is very refreshing. I think i'll have to get some more too.

I have tried both and was not impressed. The blood orange sorbet is good, but the chocolate is insipid and IMHO not dark enough. The salted vanilla and passion fruit sorbet was also disappointing the passion fruit drowns out the vanilla which is thin and similarly insipid, nothing like as rich as their Madagascan vanilla on its own.
Won't be buying them again.
On the other hand, their Limoncello is extremely moreish, likewise Hazelnut, Coconut and lime and their Pistachio. So all is not lost.

I have to go out of my way to get to a Waitrose, so didn't know about all the other flavours..... some sampling coming up methinks on ALL of them, one a week perhaps.

we keep a box of little cornets in the cupboard [cones as they now call them] for the DGC to have an ice cream, but DH and myself have been scoffing ice creams every day [ nice for a sore throat]

Now their salted caramel choc ices ......... (If you get mini size you can justify TWO-) those are very special

I bought the chocolate and blood orange sorbet and tried it a few minutes ago. The orange sorbet is very refreshing and this is the first time that I have bought something other than almond magnums. I need to put on weight like a hole in the head which is why I have shied away from trialling. I do think that we should stop this thread in its tracks!

Too late! I'm off to buy the Hazelnut, Coconut and Lime ... and I don't even like icecream

and now I want almond Magnums [ and I hear there are peanut butter ones too!]Drool.

I am going to stop reading this thread it is not doing me much good- I do not want to sit here and drool either.

Smiles rather fatly

Kelly's Cornish ice cream with honeycombe. Delicious. (You can buy it at Asda)

Nothing nicer than Mackies vanilla, but I do like the sound of the Waitrose choc/blood orange stuff and will surely be buying it first time I'm in ... we have one a 5 minute walk away.

How convenient for you thingamajig ( I would be popping in and out.)

roses there is a Waitrose practically across the road from where I live - I joke with the staff and call it my own personal pantry - and my fridge always has some "marked down" Waitrose finds in it.

Alea have you tried them all?

Don't want to read this thread

We usually stick to Kelly's Cornish icecream (or Mackies)
DH only likes vanilla. Boring.

Anyway, by the time we get home from Waitrose it would be melted.

Alea, do I detect comfort eating of ice cream? Or have Waitrose employed you as a taster? I am a connoisseur of their choc ices, but why did I have to read this thread just when I've told myself that I'm on a low carb programme?

Fortunately I have a 101.8 mile drive to my nearest Waitrose otherwise I'd be there like a shot!!

Katek We feel your pain!

Grannyknot I am green with envy.

One fruit I can't stand is passion fruit. Other wise I will try anything. I have now got some very nice raspberry in and I am intending to make more green ginger wine icecream. It goes with mango like manna from heaven. I have a small icecream maker which is fantastic.
Freeze your soft berry fruit when on offer and you can make it whenever you like. Real vanilla ice cream is wonderful.
