If you’ve noticed more nostalgic flavours popping up lately, you’re not imagining it, as one of Britain’s most iconic cupboard staples Lyle’s Golden Syrup, has just launched a brand-new ice cream tub, and it's landing exclusively in Iceland stores from tomorrow, 24 March.
Launching in a 500ml tub format and priced at £4.75, the Gooey Syrup Swirls flavour is exactly as indulgent as it sounds. The flavour centres around a rich, creamy ice cream swirled with ribbons of Lyle’s signature golden syrup, delivering that unmistakable butterscotch sweetness we all grew up with. It’s the kind of dessert that feels instantly familiar - like pancakes on a Sunday morning or syrup-drenched flapjacks - but with a refreshing, modern twist.
We first spotted this flavour at the 2022 Anya Hindmarch Ice Cream Project (which was equally as delicious back then), so we are excited to know it's become a permanent product in the freezer aisle.
There’s even more to come from the brand, with a second version featuring honeycomb pieces expected to launch later in the year, which sounds like it could be even more addictive. Crunchy pieces in an ice cream is always a weakness for us..
If you love nostalgic desserts or simply want something a bit different for your freezer, this might be one to pick up quickly. Like most limited-edition launches, something tells us it won’t be around for long.
