New Waitrose ice cream

I've had the chocolate and blood orange it was gorgeous also the ginger and vanilla even DH liked it and he's not a big lover of ginger it was very subtle and creamy. I must give the hazelnut coconut and lime a go though.

Agree with Liz, only ice cream for me is Kelly's, reminds me of my childhood.

Didn't the "rainbow" icecream used to be called "Neopolitan"

Here's a current favourite dessert to go with your ice cream (someone mentioned freezing/frozen berries) - take some frozen berries out of the freezer (either fresh bought or ready frozen), leave for 15 minutes. Take 150g white chocolate, broken up into heat proof bowl, 100ml double cream.

Put the cream in a small pan and heat until nearly boiling. Remove from the heat and pour over the chocolate, stir until melted. Spoon the fruit into bowls and pour over the hot sauce. Eat immediately (not that that needs to be said). Delicious! The hot white chocolate sauce sort of hardens on the cold berries, and the berries are still a bit crunchy.

Aldi Lemon and Mango sorbets are surprisingly good
Waitrose opening near us shortly. I can see housekeeping bills will rocket...
I always think I'm not bothered about ice cream until I eat it .

Nelliemoser - please can we have your green ginger wine ice cream recipe? Sounds yummy!

I have tried the new icecream and it's vey nice . . . then I like most icecream!

I see it as my Christian moral duty to check out new lines when they are offering a 25% discount, but on the whole, being serious, as this IS a serious topic, their old flavours are still the best. In order of (my) preference
Limoncello, Hazelnut, Coffee, Pistachio, Coconut and Lime, Madagascan Vanilla
Chocolate and cherry is too sweet and boring, Chocolate I have decided is not a favourite ice cream flavour.
But do you remember the days of pink, green, brown and "plain" ice cream? I am not sure the colours bore much resemblance to flavours though!
Now nelliemoser your Ginger Wine ice cream sounds veeeeeery interesting........

I agree that the Magnum peanut butter ones are disappointing.

Haha! crafty, love it! I also hide ice-cream, currently under some frozen salmon. Shh!

Katek - you can shop on line...why miss out!

Not tried any of the Waitrose ice cream but will have trip there this week for a treat.

C'art dor is pretty good!

I do love a Magnum but peanut butter ones are disappointing.

Best ice cream ever . I have 3 tubs in freezer & they are MINE!!!

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.

Grannyknot I am green with envy.

Katek We feel your pain!

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

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?

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Smiles rather fatly

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.
