Has anybody tried the new ice cream from Waitrose ( the ad is on tv) chocolate ice cream with Sicilian blood orange sorbet? It sounds yummy, who will be noble and test it out first for us??

It's yummy

Waitrose is where I do most of my shopping but nothing frozen - it would melt because I'm on foot. I like the Co-op's 'Loved by us' ice-cream range, the list of ingredients is quite short and there is a variety of flavours and as it's on my doorstep it's still frozen when I get home.

sweetcakes I've made several of Nigella's condensed milk gelatos, although I found I had to reduce the amount of condensed milk because it was just too sweet. So easy to make without all that freezing and beating.

My Waitrose spy tells me there's a branch in Edinburgh and one in Glasgow.

Went yesterday, absolutely gutted as they had an empty shelf where the chocolate and blood orange should have been.sad

I'll be back!

I love ice cream. I love it so much I tend not to keep it in the freezer at home since I would eat the whole tub at once, and have done so many times.

I don't mind anybody's brand as long as it does not have bits in it. There should be law against 'bits' smile

For this reason I could not eat a Mcflurry.

Give me soft delicious creamy ice cream (don't mind juice running through it)and I'm in heaven

Bought some rum and raisin( didn't have enough bits!) Carte D'or, it was on offer, but is so disappointing!

i love icecream with or without bits - but preferably with.
but i HATE chocolate icecream!!
as a child mum used to buy a neapolitan "brick" and i used to have two strawberry squares with my vanilla one - my brother, who hated strawberry icecream, used to have two chocolate squares and one vanilla.
i used to be able to get lovely icecream from tesco - rum and raisin, tutti frutti [i think it was] and a marvellous mint choc chip but you can't get them now. pity as i'd certainly leave room in the freezer for them.
so i won't be buying the chocolate icecream with blood orange sorbet - although i think i might be investigating the other flavours.

Finally got the chocolate/orange sorbet in Waitrose ... yummy!!! smile
Thankfully not something I feel the need to be eating too often (at the price) but for an occasional treat, definitely something we'll buy again. grin

I finally managed to get the choc ice cream with blood orange sorbet from Waitrose, and you're right, it's absolutely gorgeous!
So, thanks very much for recommending it, even though you’ve caused me to ruin yet another attempt at dieting grin

I still haven't managed to buy it.... the freezer is too stuffed with other things, need to make a space [ an ice cream shaped space.]Glad you like it Jugger smile
