Unilever is getting set for the summer months with host of NPD launching across its ice cream brands.
A total of seven SKUs have begun rolling out across the mults already, spanning handheld and tub formats and tapping into demand for indulgent flavours.
Unilever said the launches, which come from brands including Wall’s, Magnum and Ben & Jerry’s, would “brighten up freezers across the nation” with a range that is “not only better for consumers, but better for the planet too”. Here’s what’s coming to stores
Twister Peek-a-Blue
Rsp: £1.10/70ml or £2.79/5x70ml
Bringing a new flavour and shape to the Twister range, Peek-A-Blue combines melon, strawberry-lemon and apple-blueberry flavours. It joins Unilever’s ‘Responsibly Made for Kids’ range of products with 66 calories per stick.
Guud Passion Fruit
Rsp: £4.50/4x80ml
Gut-friendly Guud made its debut last year and this spring a new Passion Fruit flavour joined the range. Made with Greek yoghurt and “gut-friendly cultures” the latest addition features a passionfruit sauce and comes in at 86 calories per stick. It has launched exclusively at Sainsbury’s.
Cornetto Go
Rsp: £1.40
Inspired by the growing love for ice cream sandwiches, this handheld ice cream under the Cornetto brand comprises a smooth vanilla ice cream with pieces of cocoa cookie, sandwiched between two cocoa biscuits. It will launch on 15 March exclusive to the impulse channel.
Cornetto Soft
Rsp: £1.60/140ml or £3/4x140ml
Bringing the ice cream van experience to grocery, Cornetto Soft is a Mr Whippy-esque soft ice cream which is promised to remain soft when stored in a home freezer. The range has launched with three flavours: Salted Caramel, Strawberry and Chocolatey, with the latter an impulse-exclusive flavour.

Billed the “most indulgent Magnum yet”, Double Gold Caramel Billionaire takes inspiration from Millionaire’s Shortbread.
