Review Of Peters Light & Creamy Choc, Caramel & Vanilla Swirl 1.8L
Peters Light & Creamy Choc, Caramel & Vanilla Swirl sits in the economy tub section of supermarket freezers.
It’s a low-cost ice cream, ideal for consumers looking to reduce fat in their diet. This review looks at whether this tub is worth the money.
What’s in the pack?
Peters Light & Creamy Choc, Caramel & Vanilla Swirl combines three low fat ice cream flavours. They are swirled together, rather than having straight lines like Neapolitan. The ice cream is 97% fat free with no artificial colours or sweeteners.
Is the ice cream any good?
Light & Creamy Choc, Caramel & Vanilla Swirl has a creamy, smooth taste despite having less fat. The addition of caramel in the tub is a nice change from the strawberry you get in Neapolitan.
Mild flavours will appeal to most, especially kids. An airy, foamy texture makes scooping effortless. It is also slow to melt once removed from the freezer.
Every ice cream has its weaknesses. This budget-friendly ice cream doesn’t match the flavour and texture of pricier brands. It misses the rich, creamy consistency typical of premium ice creams, but it’s still enjoyable.
Light & Creamy Choc, Caramel & Vanilla Swirl offers excellent value for money. A 1.8L tub makes it ideal for families who love ice cream and want fewer calories in their lives.

Milk fat
Milk fat impacts ice cream consistency. Higher levels result in a creamier, smoother mouthfeel. The Peters range is 97% fat free, with 2.3% milk fat.
More expensive brands have much higher milk fat levels. For example, Haagen-Dazs Light Vanilla has 16%.
Did you know? Ice cream products sold in Australia with less than 10% milk fat can’t label the front of pack “ice cream”.
