We tried supermarket ice creams from Asda, Sainsbury's and Co-op and one scored five stars

The recent hot weather has had many of us in the mood for ice cream but like many things these days, the summer favourite doesn't always come cheap.

An artisan ice cream in a fancy deli or park café can set you back a small fortune and even the cost of a Mr Whippy can take you by surprise, especially if you go for a big one with a flake. Buying ice cream from the supermarket to enjoy at home is a cheaper way to cool down, but favourites like Ben & Jerry's and Haagan Dazs are still on the pricey side.

That's why this week we decided to try supermarket own brand ice creams to see how they tasted compared to the more well known brands. We've tucked into tubs from Asda, Co-op and Sainsbury’s and were more than a bit surprised at the results.
