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

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!

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

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]grin

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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??
