Walls Big Bite vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce

I've finally got round to eating the third variant of the Walls Big Bite ice creams after cookie and strawberry - vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce. 

Again the ice cream is the same, quite a plain, soft serve vanilla ice cream which alone isn't the greatest of ice creams but for £1 it's fine! 

My recurring complaint with these tubs though, is the amount of filling or sauce. I had the original swirl you can see in the photo then it disappeared until about half way through. The first few mouthfuls were pretty disappointing, the chocolate sauce didn't stand out at all and it was just a bit plain and boring. 

The end of the tub was absoloutly jam packed with chocolate sauce however. I didn't manage to take a picture before I ate it all (whoops) but it was actually quite a rich, sweet sauce and was very chocolatey. If all of the ice cream had been like this it would have been my favourite. It tastes like ice cream sundaes I'd get as a kid, not many shop bought ice creams do I find and while this isn't as nice as other brands available if your looking for a bit of nostalgia, these fit the bill quite nicely.

Mini post Walls Big Bite vanilla ice cream with strawberry sauce

Following on from my previous post on Walls Big Bite ice creams I tried the vanilla with strawberry sauce last night. 

I'll keep it short and sweet, there's not much else to say about this - the ice cream is exactly the same as the cookie version just with a strawberry sauce running through it. It looked good at the start, lots of thick sauce swirled all throughout and the sauce tasted good too. It's very sweet, it contains 3% strawberry purée so it doesn't taste too artificial but at this price it's obviously not one of the better sauces or syrups. I preferred this tub to the cookies, probably for the nostalgia as there's something about vanilla ice cream with sticky strawberry sauce that makes me feel about five years old.

My only complaint is once again the sauce fizzled out towards the middle of the tub. 

Still I'm not complaining for £1!

Walls Big Bite Vanilla with Cookies ice cream

I first noticed the Walls big bite ice creams in Farmfoods a few weeks ago, but seeing as where I live Farmfoods are few and far between and I was miles from home I left it. Happily Iceland have started selling them now so I grabbed one of each. I haven't seen these in any other supermarket though, maybe they're exclusive to these two shops. 

I decided to kick off with the cookie tub, the other two are vanilla with strawberry sauce and vanilla with chocolate sauce.

The cookies on the top looked quite impressive but they are a bit strange in texture. Considering it had literally just been taken out of the freezer, I expected them to be a bit frozen or crunchy but they are extremely soft. To be completely honest they felt like cake! 

The ice cream is also very soft, if you've had the Big Bite lolly (?)/ice cream you'll know how this tastes. It's exactly that, just in a tub rather than on a stick and is still quite thick and creamy. It reminded me of the ice cream you'd get from the ice cream man - not Mr. Whippy or 99 standard (!) but still pretty nice. It's not a great vanilla flavour, I'd say it's plain more than anything and while there is nothing I especially liked here it's inoffensive - there's nothing to dislike either. 

The cookies on the top are misleading, they aren't like some brands where there is a layer on the top then nothing else but there definitely isn't anywhere near as many underneath as there is at the beginning. To be fair to Walls though, the tub does say there is only 2.5% cocoa biscuit pieces. 

It seems like I'm moaning and there are only bad points but it's really not bad for £1, it's not an adult ice cream and I don't think it advertises itself as one - it's a kiddie treat. I'll eat the others I've got but I probably wouldn't buy them again.
