Advantages: Exciting to Little Ones, Distinct Milky Bar Taste

Disadvantages: Far Too Aerated, Slushy Texture

We had some Nestle Milky Bar Ice Cream for dessert the other day as the Mrs had picked some up for the grandson as a treat. There were five of us having some and the one tub was used up in one go! I checked and it's only 950ml so that's not so bad really. It was £2 for the tub which isn't a bad price for this kind of ice cream dessert.


My first impression of it was good as it looked and smelled really nice. There were loads of white chocolate drops on top of the ice cream made from Nestle milky bar chocolate and a fair amount spread throughout the ice cream as the Mrs drove a spoon through it too.


Digging my spoon in was a bit of a disappointment though I'm afraid to say. The ice cream was so aerated that it was like a Mr Whippy dollop in my bowl. Actually, Mr Whippy is probably more ice cream than this was! It was like a cross between ice cream and yoghurt in texture which I really didn't like. I like ice cream to be thick and solid not sludgy and runny.


The taste was pretty good though and definitely had a strong taste and aroma of milky bar as I know it to be. The ice cream could have been a bit more flavoursome but it was adequately chocolaty and there were enough milk chocolate drops contained in it to pad out the flavour.


The grandson certainly liked it but then it was a novelty to him. He's not using to getting ice cream for pudding with loads of sweeties in it. The rest of the family agreed that it was a nice, mild and sweet white chocolaty flavour but that the texture was very poor quality.

Summary: I'll tell the Mrs to get the Smarties one next time.
