swedish glace

[bellybuddha]

My eyes nearly popped out whilst shopping at Sainsbury's yesterday. Swedish Glace have brought out neapolitana ice cream! strawberry, vanilla and chocolate all in one box. Was very happy and wanted to let you all know too.

[beanstew]

Oh, I've had that. It's lush. :)

[VeganGran]

I bought some yesterday, its delicious:)

[harpy]

Mmm, I haven't seen that. So many things to try, so little room in my trousers :D

[bryzee86]

I'm pretty sure I posted bout this about a year back...

anyway, i bought one today, too. yummo.

[Est]

^ Yeah it's been around a while... it's totally lush!

Downside is that the flavours are "cheaper" versions of the individual tubs. No vanilla bits in the vanilla section, no chocolate bits in the chocolate section.

[Marrers]

I have to say I've never noticed 'bits' of chocolate or vanilla in the single flavour tubs.

Black dots of vanilla pod, and tiny flakes of chocolate. They weren't like that a couple of years ago, so I presume they improved the recipe. They're much more like premium ice cream now, but the neapolitan is like cheap neapolitan.

it has? where have I been? only flavours they have that I have seen is vanilla, chocolate and raspberry. Still mmm yum

[beanstew]

I sprinkle Green and Blacks cocoa powder and ground coffee on my ice cream for extra goodness. Maple syrup is good too.

Mmmm. I could really go some ice cream now but don't have any so will have to have some wine instead.

And that, beanstew, is why I am a little bit in love with you...

[bryzee86]

I ran out of onions yesterday, so I mainlined some coke.

[Ruby Rose]

And that, bryzee, is why you're bloody lucky Jo married you!

[beanstew]

:lol: @ Ruby Rose.

You'll find that coke's quite moreish Bryzee.

I've got into a bad habit recently of having: a hunk of vanilla Swedish Glace, a huny of raspberry ripple, a load of sliced bananas, agave syrup, chopped nuts and hundreds and thousands, and a cup of cocoa...every night... :umm_ani:

[cobweb]

^ mmm-mmm
i like it with melted chocolate set over the top of it and either 'hundreds and thousands' or chopped nuts sprinkled into it.

Its good ice cream! Vanilla and Wild Blueberry have been winners so far, need to try the chocolate soon...Also, its good with crumbled biscuit on top!

[Tofu Monkey]

I tried this a few weeks ago and it's their greatest flavour yet! In fact I shall be having another bowl later tonight

[VeganGran]

Wild Blueberry is definitely my favourite flavour:bigsmile:

[rainbow]

Oh god, ice cream...
I hardly ever have this any more because I gain weight very, very easily and I've probably put on a few pounds just reading this thread... but on the occasions when I have indulged, I have to say that vanilla or chocolate ice cream with broken up bourbon biscuits, covered in chocolate syrup and chocolate flakes is just heavenly!
The vanilla one also works a treat in a pancake with some fresh strawberries or raspberries and some maple syrup.
They did reformulate the recipes a while back. I was disappointed because the fat content went up quite a bit and I didn't think they tasted any better for it. So it went from an occasional treat to something I only ate at other people's houses (to stop me eating the whole tub). Ice cream shouldn't be a health food, but their old versions were less sinful and still tasted just fine to me!
Oh, and I no longer see the mocha flavour (which I used to buy from the local health food shop), but it was definitely the best of them all. Creamy coffee ice cream with a decadent chocolate swirl. If they ever brought that one back, I'd consider it well worth getting fat for! :D

Chocolate or Vanilla glace from Sainsburys. Crush some of their vegan ginger snaps over the top. Eat until you pass out. Job done.

A winning formula but I'd have to add some chocolate sauce.
