Review Of Coles Salted Caramel Ice Cream
Coles Salted Caramel Ice Cream is part of the one-litre Irresistible range. Are you thinking about buying a container? Check out this review to decide whether it’s worth the money.
What’s in a container of Coles Salted Caramel Ice Cream?
A one-litre tub contains caramel flavoured ice cream with ribbons of Murray River salted caramel sauce. It is sold at Coles Supermarkets throughout Australia and is marketed as premium ice cream at an affordable price.
Is this tub any good?
Coles Salted Caramel Ice Cream is excellent value for money, bridging the gap between budget family packs and premium tubs. Creamy caramel ice cream is “levelled up” with the occasional swirl of slightly salted caramel sauce. The saltiness is a perfect match for a sweet dessert.
A tub of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream stuffed with mix-ins will appeal to many, but not everyone. The Coles Salted Caramel product keeps it simple. It’s ideal for anyone looking for no-frills ice cream that tastes good. This product is a solid performer in the freezer aisle.
A one-litre container means getting your money’s worth. It’s big enough to feed a whole family hungry for something sweet.
What are some similar products to try?
Thanks to a little extra milk fat, Woolworths Salted Caramel is a little creamier and smoother. However, the difference isn’t huge.
Those searching for super-premium ice cream may prefer shelling out extra for a tub of Haagen-Dazs. It has 15% milk fat and the addition of caramel brittle pieces.
Here is a comparison of some popular caramel ice cream products sold in Australia.
| Haagen-Dazs Salted Caramel Ice Cream 457ml | 10% salted caramel ripple and 8% caramel brittle. |
| Woolworths Ice Cream Salted Caramel 1L | 9% caramel ripple. |
| Coles Salted Caramel Ice Cream 1L | 9% caramel ripple. |
| Much Moore Awesome Salted Caramel Ice Cream Tub 2L. | 8% salted caramel pieces. |
