Review Of Hershey’s Chocolate-Strawberry Ripple 1L
Hershey’s started selling chocolate bars way back in 1900. Since then, the brand has expanded into a wide range of sweet treats.
Are you wondering if Hershey’s Chocolate-Strawberry Ripple 1L is any good? I bought a tub to find out if this frozen dessert is worth the money.
What is Hershey’s Chocolate-Strawberry Ripple?
Hershey’s Chocolate-Strawberry Ripple is a reduced fat ice cream. It’s got soft strawberry sauce running through the tub. This frozen dessert has 40% less fat than regular ice cream.
Is this low fat ice cream any good?
Hershey’s Chocolate-Strawberry Ripple is an enjoyable tub of low fat ice cream. The texture is soft, and it scoops nicely into a bowl or cone.
The strawberry sauce is deliciously oozy straight from the freezer. It makes up 11% of the tub, so some decent sized wells are waiting to be discovered further down the container.
No ice cream is perfect, though, including Hershey’s Chocolate-Strawberry Ripple. While its texture is smooth and creamy, it has a foamy consistency that won’t compete with more premium ice creams.
Pros
- Nice choc strawberry flavour combo.
- The ripple is made with real strawberries.
- Made in Australia.
Cons
- Texture is airy and could be better.

Ingredients
Fresh milk and cream are the main dairy ingredients used in this ice cream. The ice cream contains 3.5% strawberries, and milk solids help dial up the creaminess.
Ingredients List: Fresh milk, sugar, water, fresh cream (milk) (7%), glucose syrup, milk solids, strawberries (3.5%), maltodextrin, cocoa solids (1.5%), colours (beet red, caramel iii, vegetable carbon, beta carotene, curcumin), emulsifiers (477, 471), thickeners (guar gum, 1442, xanthan gum, processed eucheuma seaweed), acidity regulators (citric acid, sodium citrate), natural flavour, blackcurrant juice, purple carrot juice.
Milk fat
Milk fat plays a vital role in ice cream’s texture and mouthfeel. More of it results in a creamier, smoother texture associated with superior ice cream.
Hershey’s Chocolate-Strawberry Ripple has less than 10% milk fat, so it doesn’t have the indulgent consistency of more expensive brands. However, it’s still enjoyable.
Did you know? Ice cream products sold in Australia with less than 10% milk fat can’t label the front of pack “ice cream”.
