Supermarket chain Aldi has expanded its Ballycastle range with the launch of a new tiramisu-flavoured thick cream ahead of the festive season. The latest addition to the supermarket’s Extra Thick Cream range is inspired by its Ballycastle Tiramisu Cream liqueur product. It contains Irish Cream liqueur and flavours of coffee, inspired by the classic Italian dessert, and is now available in Aldi stores across the UK in 250ml tubs priced at £1.99. Also new for the year is the Ballycastle Mince Pies (£2.49 per six-pack), described as the perfect pairing for Aldi’s extra thick cream range. Each is filled with spiced mincemeat and finished with a swirled topping, blended with Aldi’s Ballycastle Country Cream. The new tiramisu-flavoured cream joins the Ballycastle Chocolate and Clementine Extra Thick Cream, a popular product relaunched for the festive season.
