When I went to the supermarket this morning with my dad I noticed that the local tesco had started selling these dairy free strawberry 'cornettos'. I desired to buy them as I haven't had a cornetto in years and was very exited to try them.
The ice creams, as specified on the packaging are dairy, gluten and wheat free. They also don't include eggs so are vegan friendly.
Taste
The ice cream cone was very nice and I thoroughly enjoyed it, the strawberry parts in the come were ice lolly-like rather than sause-y which I wasn't a fan of but personal preference so I can't complain.
The chocolate on the come tasted much more like regular milk than most vegan chocolate which could be seen as good or bad (personally I liked the chocolate a lot) there was also a strawberry sauce layer at the bottom which was a lovely surprise- just don't get caught off guard.

Price and accessibility
When researching whether or not you could find anything similar elsewhere and while lots of resipies showed up, there were no store bought ones.
But they do seem to appear in lots of tesco stores across the country meaning it's not too hard to find them.
The ice creams are also reasonably priced costing £2.00 for the four pack (the same as regular cornettos) however another thing to note is that the tesco free from cones are actually bigger, being 120ml each compared to the regular 9ml meaning they are better value for money.
Rating- ****
Health rank
ovbiously ice cream isn't the healthiest of foods to eat and while theses ice creams have more calories and fat than regular strawberry cornettos they still do there bit in being dairy free. An extra 20kcals one day doesn't make much of a difference while going dairy free can and will make you healthier in the long run.
Like any sweet food, the strawberry comes aren't a staple, just a good extra of those with a sweet tooth (like me!)
Rating- ***
Overall rating- ****
I definitely recommend these ice creams, especially for vegans as they taste lovely and are also cheaper than many other vegan icecreams, or any ice creams for that matter *cough* ben and Jerrys *cough*
