Toffee and Vanilla Cones
So, first up, let's take a look at their new Toffee and Vanilla Cone (yes, Cornetto, to you and me, but let's play the branding game).
Must admit, I was a bit unsure the first time I tried this one, and Kiddo wasn't won over (I preferred their strawberry flavour which they brought out last year (see here) and which thankfully they've kept), but I tried them again, and now I actually really like them. And if Kiddo don't want them, that means all the more for me! :)

They come in a box of four costing £2. Good value if you ask me, although I note their non-free from version only costs £1 for the same amount! However, I'm guessing that's the cost of free from again!!

Ingredients:
(Allergens listed in Bold)
Water, Sugar, Maize Flour, Coconut Oil, Caramel Flavoured Sauce, Glucose Syrup, Lupin Protein Isolate, Toffee Pieces, Maltodextrin, Dextrose, Fat Reduced Cocoa Powder, Maize Starch, Emulsifiers (*Soya Lecithins, Mono- and Di-Glycerides Fatty Acids), Acidity Regulators (Calcium Hydroxide, Carbon Dioxide), Salt, Caramel, Palm oil, Flavouring, Stabilsers (Locust Bean meal, Guar Gum), Vanilla Powder, Colour (Beta-Carotene).
Caramel Flavoured Sauces can sometimes contain milk flavouring, but this one contains:
Water, Glucose Syrup, Coconut Oil, Caramel, Stabiliser (Locust bean Meal), Salt, Flavouring.
Toffee Pieces: Sugar, Invert Sugar Syrup, Hazelnuts, Glucose Syrup, Acidity Regulator (Sodium Bicarbonate).
Also listed as suitable for Vegans.
*Soya Lecithin is made from soya but is just the oil. The protein (the allergic bit) has been removed, so it should be OK for those with a soya allergy, but this doesn't seem to hold true for all those who are allergic to soya. If you have an allergy to soya, but are not sure if Soya Lecithin is OK for you, please check with your Allergy Doctor or Dietitian.
Fruit Splits
These were a bit of a revelation to me. I've never been such a fan of fruit-flavoured ice cream, so wasn't hugely expecting me or the Kiddo to like them, but actually we both did!
 |
| YUM!! They disappear quite quickly! |
I put it down to the Tesco ice cream centres which are deliciously smooth and creamy. I'm guessing it's the one and same vanilla ice cream which Tesco they developed last year (see here), but sadly discontinued (to the disappointment of many).

What's in the box??
This box of six lollies, costing two pounds, contains two blackcurrant, two pineapple and two strawberry flavoured. Kiddo baggsied the blackcurrant, I went for the strawberry. Pineapple has had to wait, as I can't normally eat that without suffering from a sore gut.
Ingredients:
Joy oh joy - these ice creams are not only dairy free, they are also soya free!

*Lupin is a lesser-known allergen in the UK, but, like soya, is a legume. Watch out if allergic to other legumes. I wasn't sure when I first tried Tesco ice cream, but now think I am OK with it.
Choc Ices
Now THESE are my personal faves (I always believe in saving the best for last)!!
I was so excited about them, in fact, that no sooner had I bought them, I sat in my car and scoffed a whole one, before driving home. It took me a little while to eat too, because (to my surprise) it wasn't a stingy-sized choc ice (and I have quite an appetite)!!
You know me, I love my chocolate!! And the chocolate on these choc ices does not disappoint - it gives a decent covering to the same creamy dairy free ice cream, used in the other two. I loved them!
THESE choc ices are soooo good, that they will definitely be bought time and time again. AND, it seems I'm not the only one of this opinion, because they are frequently out of stock in my local Tesco!!
What's in the box?
You get three really decent size choc ices in a pack for £2. We are talking proper adult-sized portions here, not kiddies!!

Summing up...
So all in all, well done Tesco, and keep 'em coming!! But please, please, please, work on avoiding those pesky nuts and finding an alternative to soya, because I know there are many more who are dairy free, and would LOVE to try these out, but can't!
