Advantages: Truly delicious

Disadvantages: The usual waistline problems, but that not the ice cream's fault, it's my willpower.

I have just discovered heaven and it comes in a little brown tub!

I've always been an ice cream fan and though I have to say the best I've tried was from a little ice cream shop in Florence, Italy and no supermarket stuff has ever compared. I love Ben and Jerry's for the quirky flavours and delcious calorific sicklyness, but is it really that luxurious?

Green and Black's Organic Chocolate Ice Cream was on offer in my local Tesco last week (an I think still is) at £2 per 500 ml pot which is around half price. I bought it as I'd not tried it before, and it seemed like a good price. Green and Black's make great chocolate, so I was expecting a good ice cream... but THIS good??!

The ice cream is described on the chocolate brown tub as 'chocolate ice cream with bittersweet dark chocolate and fresh cream.' I recommend you take this out the freezer and leave for 10-15 minutes before you dig in... (if you can wait.)

This, to me, in fact didn't taste like ice cream. Once it's got to that consistency where it's still solid but very soft it tastes like really good quailty dark chocolate mousse you would get in a restaurant. It's very rich, a deep dark chocolate falvour, creamy and soft and oh so moorish! My mum tried some and said it was so rich she would only be able to eat a small portion, I however managed about 1/2 a tub in one sitting. Ooops!

So the bad news, ice cream is not good for you. In fact, this a probably a lot better than Ben and Jerry's as there is no added bits but it still contains 248 cals and 14g fat per 100g (around 145 ml). So eating half a tub at once is a big no no!

For a treat I can not recommend this stuff enough. It's honestly the best chocolate ice cream I've bought from a supermarket. Pure luxury.

This ice cream is suitable for vegetarians, and chocoholics.

Summary: Try it, you won't go back!
