    Said it last time, too, but best cookies'n'cream ever. Can't stop eating.

    (Fellow ice-cream junkies, also check out the "Prestige" brand at Woolies. The Raspberries and Cream was disappointing, but the Chocolate is excellent, a bit like a mix between premium choc ice cream and frozen chocolate mousse. It's 2L, so it's much better value than all the 1L - or less - premium ice creams).

      I find Connoisseur Cookies & Cream to be a more "matured" variant, ie. the cookies whilst still in medium chuncks, have been infused into the cream, whereas other brands either over or under do it".

      • MementoMori on 23/10/2013 - 10:07

        It's possible to 'overdo' the amount of cookies in ice cream??

    For something that's cheap at it's usual price, I've found Aldi's Monarc range to be particularly good as well. I think it was something like $4.79 the last time I got some.

    I haven't looked for a while, but why doesn't Australia sell more imaginative flavours.
    Look in the freezer aisle in the US and you can get the best mix of ice cream creations. Given that I've seen a huge line of people queueing up to pay $8 to create a pathetically small magnum, surely there's a market here for that.
    Every time I go to the states we go nuts buying different ice cream flavour tubs, there's so many to choose from!

          If you want a fair comparison then compare the metropolitan area populations of all regions:

      Everything is available in more flavours and varieties and types in the US (not to mention much cheaper).

      We have less flavours, true, but we have the significant advantage of not having high fructose corn syrup in pretty much everything compared to the USA.

          Some are good, some are not. Some of the Sara Lee gourmet ice cream flavours are pretty average IMO, definitely not worth the extra cash. But the cadburys actually have better ingredients (look and the nutrition info, less sugar, less fat) and, as I said, some of the connoisseur flavours, e.g.: Cookies and Cream, are definitely superior.

        • emibel19 on 20/10/2013 - 13:28
          +1

          I don't think I've ever found a Sara Lee or Connoisseur flavour that I would call "pretty average". I think the only flavour I haven't tried is vanilla, which I would never buy, as it's just so boring. I find all the other flavours worth it (when they're on special, of course).

        • exit on 20/10/2013 - 19:43
          +2

          Not even close. I've tried cookies and cream from newrly every company but Conoisseur is by far the best. The vanilla in it has a much sweeter, creamier taste than all the other brands BUT I hardly eat it because they are way to expensive

        • Ace on 21/10/2013 - 00:04
          +2

          Cool find me the cheaper branded cookies & cream that tastes the same…

          They might not taste the exact same but the differences between 'gourmet' ice creams and cheaper ice creams is not much when you compare the differences between gourmet and regular icecreams in other countries.

          The premium packaging and brand names are the only real differences with most 'gourmet' Australian products.

        • nubzy on 21/10/2013 - 12:16

          Connoiseur is not even really 'gourmet' it is still light and very airy. gourmet ice cream is dense and has a much better flavour and higher quality

        • MementoMori on 23/10/2013 - 10:10

          Agree - Bulla is a serious contender given it's 2x the size (2L) for less!

          It's not as dense, but still well worth trying.

        • tonester on 23/10/2013 - 10:52

        • slowmo on 23/10/2013 - 23:54

          @ace which is irrelevant, since this post is about this brand's icecream going for $5 and you can't get any other decent tasting icecream like this one's at the same price.

          a whinge (like the ones above yours) about whether the brand/product name is gourmet or not should really belong to the forums.

          there's 'natural' brand of chips and 'organic' brands as well and commonsense tells you that there's nothing natural about chips or organic of something.

          some people should really build a bridge though… a deal is a deal is a deal.

          otherwise, feel free to point me and other fellow bargain hunters to a real gourmet place selling real gourmet ice cream/gelato at $5 for 2+ pints.
