Tesco launches cookie dough and birthday cake-flavoured vegan ice cream
Vegan ice cream lovers, rejoice, Tesco’s vegan Wicked Kitchen brand has expanded its ice cream range with six new flavours - including cookie dough and birthday cake. The new line launched in stores earlier this week and the ice creams substitute dairy for coconut oil and lupin protein. The birthday cake flavour has vegan cake pieces scattered throughout while the cookie dough flavour boasts chunks of cookie dough and chocolate chips. The new range also sees the introduction of a chai latte ice cream (in stores early April) alongside new “Ice Dream” sticks and cones which come in berry white, chocolate and red berry and chocolate and almond - the latter also available in early April. Each of the new offerings retail for £2.50 per tub and £2.50 for three sticks and four cones.
