THe latest addition to the Cornetto family is a Cornetto Taco, which comprises of vanilla ice cream with a caramel flavoured swirl, encased in a crispy waffle taco and is covered with milk chocolate and peanuts. Evidently it is capitalising on the popularity of ice creams in a sandwich format. However, this is not the first version of the ice cream taco - In 1998, Unilever introduced the Choco Taco to Italy and 1999 to Sweden with the name Winner Taco. In 2000 the Winner Taco was retired from the Italian/Swedish market. However, after two years of campaigning by Taco fans, on January 2014 Algida announced on their Facebook page the return of the Winner Taco in Italy. GB Glace selling the ice cream in Sweden has also re-introduced the ice cream in 2014. Now, behold it's launch in UK ice-cream freezers....
But it doesn't end there for ice-cream, because Ben & Jerry's has released an ice-cream burrito. Or, I should say, Brrrr-ito! It’s a tortilla-style waffle batter wrap… plus two scoops of ice cream…all wrapped up and ready to go: That sounds pretty delicious in and of itself, but no self-respecting burrito would dare present itself with a single ingredient. So to keep things real, the ice cream scoops are drizzled with fudge and dusted with cookie crumbs. Available from Ben & Jerry's shops only. Sniff sniff.
And in more mind-blowing news, the ice cream brand has also partnered with New Belgium Brewing and will launch its first brew at the end of the summer. The debut flavour will be, yes you guessed it, Salted Caramel Brownie. Because who hasn’t sat in the pub on a hot summer’s day and thought what they really need to do is combine this cold pint of beer with my favourite dessert?!!
