Review Of Woolworths Peanut Butter Cup Raspberry Ripple Ice Cream 473ml

The best ice cream labels like Haagen-Dazs deliver superior quality, but they cost more. Australian shoppers can now visit Woolworths to get a range of private label pints providing a taste of luxury without breaking the bank.

This review looks at Peanut Butter Cup Raspberry Ripple Ice Cream in a 473ml tub. I’ll look at the good, the bad, and reveal if it deserves a spot in your freezer.

Is the ice cream any good?

Woolworths Peanut Butter Cup Raspberry Ripple Ice Cream offers excellent value for money. The ice cream is creamy and easy to scoop, with a subtle flavour most will enjoy.

Ribbons of raspberry ripple mix deliciously with the nutty-flavoured ice cream. It makes up 11% of the container, so you won’t struggle to find it.

Peanut butter cups lie hidden in the tub, awaiting discovery. They’re a good size and quantity to keep peanut butter lovers more than happy.

This ice cream is delicious, but keep in mind it’s main ingredient is water. Most other pint-sized ice creams use higher quantities of milk and cream. The Woolworths option lacks the smooth texture and rich dairy flavour profile associated with its higher-priced competitors.

Pros

• Delicious peanut butter cups.
• The ice cream has a moreish texture.
• A cheap alternative to other pint-size tubs.

Cons

• Long ingredients list with water as the biggest component.

Milk fat
