Which supermarket choc ices beat Magnum for taste and cost? I tried 10 to find out

HAYSIEHAYSIE Member Posts: 35,543



Tesco Milk Chocolate Ice Creams
£1.35 for 3 x 110ml (45p each)

Snappy chocolate but a naff flavour, as if the beans have been roasted too dark. Not too sweet, but it has a nasty spumy texture.

Score: 1 out of 5

Asda Heavenly Moments Milk Chocolate Ice Creams
£1.35 for 3 x 110ml (45p each)

The ice cream is very light textured, creamy but not too sweet. Unfortunately the chocolate tastes stale. Score: 1 out of 5

Waitrose Milk Chocolate Sticks
£1.75 for 3 x 100ml (58p each)

Thick chocolate with an odd flavour, and although the ice cream is pleasant, creamy and light, the overall flavour is of cardboard.

Score: 2 out of 5

Lidl Gelatelli Classic
£2.35 for 6 x 120ml (39p each)

These look large and their volume is 20 per cent more than Aldi’s Gianni’s, for example (see below), but they weigh only 3g more – so that impressive size is mostly just air. Good snap to thick, smooth chocolate but very sweet ice cream that’s not all that creamy, probably because of that extra air.

Score: 2 out of 5

Magnum Classic Vanilla Ice Cream Sticks
Widely available; £3.50 for 3 x 100ml at Waitrose (£1.17 each)

Good thick chocolate on these, although it’s oddly bland – not really chocolatey, more chocolate-flavoured cake covering. Creamy ice cream, dense, almost waxy, and incredibly sweet.

Score: 3 out of 5

By Sainsbury’s Milk Chocolate Indulgence
£1.80 for 4 x 110ml (45p each)

Very sweet, over vanilla-ed ice cream that’s dense but not that creamy. The chocolate is satisfactory although it’s on the thin side – but that vanilla is what dominates!

Score: 3 out of 5

Morrisons Amour Classic
£1.45 for 3 x 110ml (48p each)

Generously sized, and while the chocolate isn’t the smoothest, it does taste real, if a bit oddly nutty. The ice cream isn’t that smooth either, and tastes bland and full of air, but the combination isn’t bad.

Score: 3 out of 5

Cadbury Dairy Milk Ice Cream
Widely available; £3.50 for 4 x 100ml at Tesco (88p each)

Good creamy chocolate that tastes distinctively Cadbury, and at 36 per cent it’s got a really thick coating.

Score: 4 out of 5

M&S Milk Chocolate Ice Cream Sticks
£2.40 for 3 x 75g in store (80p each)

Good ice cream – clean tasting and milky, but not too sweet. Chocolate is a bit thin but has a decent snap and a good creamy flavour.

Score: 4 out of 5

Aldi Gianni’s Milk Chocolate Ice Creams
£1.49 for 4 x 100ml (37p each)

Slightly grainy chocolate but nice snap. Smooth, dense, very creamy ice cream; closest to Magnum in texture but less sweet. A bargain.

Score: 5 out of 5
