Tesco is doing chocolate Baileys ice cream and it sounds incredible
The vanilla ice cream is made with real Baileys and chocolate sauce - but it costs £4.50 a pot
BAILEYS now does its own brand of ice cream and you can get your hands on tubs of the dessert at Tesco.
The liqueur company has branched out to the freezer aisles with its “Chocolate Secret” ice cream.
The dairy vanilla ice cream is drenched in chocolate sauce and flavoured with the bourbon-based liqueur.
Are you drooling yet? Because we know we are.
This really is a treat though because each 80g serving contains the 205 calories which only a fraction less than a McDonald’s hamburger (250 calories).
The each 500ml tub contains just over six portions – which is a whopping 1,281 calories.
Here's how to cut the cost of your grocery shop
SAVING on your shop can make a big difference to your wallet. Here are some tips from Hannah Maundrell, editor of Money.co.uk, about how you can cut the cost of your shopping bills:
- Write yourself a list – Only buy items that you need. If it isn’t on your list, don’t put it in the trolley
- Create a budget – Work out a weekly budget for your food shopping
- Never shop hungry – you are far more likely to buy more food if your tummy is rumbling
- Don’t buy pre-chopped veggies or fruit – The extra they’ll charge for chopping can be eye watering
- Use social media – follow your favourite retailers to find out about the latest deals
- Be disloyal – You may want to go to different stores to find the best bargains
- Check the small print – It’s always worth checking the price per kg/lb/litre when comparing offers so you’re making a like for like decision as a bigger box won’t necessarily mean you get more
- Use your loyalty cards – Don’t be afraid to sign up to them all. They all work slightly differently – work out what bonus suits you better and remember to trade in your points for additional rewards
Pots of the luxurious desserts are only available from .
Haagen-Dazs actually do their own version of Baileys ice cream which costs 60p less at .
But it contains just 2.5 per cent chocolate compared to a 13 per cent in the own brand version.
Remember, the ice cream is booze-based – with 0,5 per cent ABV – so you’ll need to be 18 or over to buy it, and you can order it online and in stores.
Can’t get enough of Baileys? Asda is selling a Baileys “freakshake cake” which will make the perfect birthday celebratory snack.
The cake is the latest in a wave of Baileys themed sweet treats including salted caramel chocolate truffles, mini chocolate covered eclairs and cream-filled profiteroles.
Over the past year, we’ve seen a number of variations of the liquor hit supermarket shelves including a dairy free almond milk version, as well as a strawberries and cream flavour.
We taste tested a number of Irish Creme alternatives to Baileys available on the high street and the winner was one which cost a wallet pleasing £6 a bottle.
Remember to always drink responsibly.
