With soaring temperatures this summer, cool down with this quirky new ice cream range at Lidl. TikTok trends show people are veering away from the traditional chocolate, strawberry and vanilla flavors. We’ve been loving the summer weather the UK has been treated to, as of late. So what better way to indulge in the sunshine, than with a scoop of red wine ice cream?
There’s nothing like a nice cold treat on a hot summer’s day – and Lidl is now selling a new range that’ll have you taking another look at the freezer aisle. You can choose from red wine, watermelon or blood orange, a far cry from the traditional Neopolitan flavors.
The new options have come about after a rising trend for more interesting ones emerged online. Searches for unusual ice cream flavors such as avocado and pesto have increased by 82% and 100% respectively in the past month, according to Lidl’s research of Google search trends.
The red wine swirl ice cream is made from a blend of red wine flavoured sorbet and vanilla ice cream – perfect if you’re debating liquid dessert of your favourite sweet treat. If you prefer refreshing flavours, you might be tempted by the watermelon swirl flavour – we’re particularly intrigued by the honeydew melon sauce. Alternatively, if you fancy something sweet but zesty, the blood orange swirl could be the one for you – combining blood orange sorbet and vanilla ice cream.
More of an ice lolly person? There’s also the Bon Gelati melonnice watermelon lollies, mixing chocolate pieces with a zingy green apple flavour.
Those wishing to grab a decent scoop of Lidl’s new flavours can head into their local store, as they’re all available from just £1.29 (the ice lollies are slightly pricier at £2.29) nationwide. However, if you’re curious to try, be quick, as availability is just while stocks last.
The adventurous flavours look to be a hit, with recent research, conducted by to coincide with the launch of the Ninja Creami Deluxe ice cream maker on its website, revealing that Gen Z are more likely to try food trends like charcoal ice cream – more than any other age group. So if you’re looking to be more like Gen Z and not miss the scoop, head to your local Lidl and look for the Sol Y Mar selection in the freezer aisle.
