Tesco has launched two new ice cream flavours in Finest Roasted Pistachio and Coconut and Passionfruit, now available at £3 for a 480ml tub. Tesco Finest Coconut and Passion Fruit Ice Cream features finely shredded coconut, rippled with vibrant, tangy passion fruit sauce to balance the sweet creamy coconut flavour. Meanwhile, Tesco Finest Roasted Pistachio Ice Cream is made with pistachio paste and roasted pistachios. This is stirred into the ice cream to give a mellow and woody taste with a pinch of salt to heightens the nutty notes. More than four in five people claim to enjoy ice cream most during the summer, with July emerging as the most popular month. Jaimini Sharma, ice cream product development manager at Tesco, said: “The nation may still be in love with the classics, but the ice cream space is bursting with exciting flavours such as Coconut & Passion Fruit, Roasted Pistachio and Raspberry Eton Mess. With a growing demand for indulgence and premium ingredients, ice cream enthusiasts are on the hunt for tantalising flavours that elevate their dessert experiences. At the heart of it all, ice cream has a unique ability to transport us back to cherished childhood memories, satisfying our cravings for timeless treats.” Both flavours are available at Tesco stores in the UK.
