ICE cream sales across the UK are set to skyrocket as the weather heats up.
Whilst you might not be able to pick up a Mr Whippy for 99p these days, we've found a Cornetto dupe that tastes even better than the real deal.

Lidl's Bon Gelati Ice Cream cones are just £1.99 for a box of six

Lidl's Bon Gelati Ice Cream Cones came up tops after they were included in a blind taste test.
A box of six 120ml cones costs just £1.99 - which works out to be 33p per ice cream.
The frozen treats come in three different flavours: chocolate vanilla, vanilla and strawberry vanilla.
And of course, the tip is filled with solid chocolate to really leave a sweet taste in your mouth.
Despite being a freezer classic, Cornetto was the least favourite brand in the test.
In Tesco, a box of classic Cornettos cost £3.75 and they are 100ml - so more expensive and smaller than Lidl's offering.
If Cornetto dupes aren't your bag, Morrisons is serving up a new ice cream inspired by Angel Delight.
Fans are going wild for the Ice Cream Twists, inspired by the fluffy, mallowy flavours of the nostalgic pud but in a refreshing soft serve form.
Landing in two "dreamy" duos – Butterscotch & Chocolate and Strawberry & Vanilla – these soft-serve-style snacks are made for BBQS, park picnics, or just scoffing straight from the freezer on a sunny bank holiday.
The icy treats are on shelves now at Morrisons – £2.50 a pop or 2 for £4 in selected stores.
Five Lidl rosés you need this summer, according to a wine expert - a £6.99 buy is as light & crispy as £22 Whispering Angel
Just the announcement of the retro scoops had ice cream fans taking a trip down memory lane.
One wrote: 'Love Angel Delight as a kid. Still do now. Gonna have to get these.'
A second agreed: 'Omg I'm defo gonna need banana ones.'
Dedicated dessert fans have been calling for the soft serve ice cream tubs, which were already available on Trolley.co.uk, to be available in actual stores.
Angel Delight reckon they're the ultimate blast-from-the-past snack, perfect for grown-ups chasing that retro sugar fix or kids discovering the magic for the first time.

Kellogg's reveals SIX new snacks including ‘irresistible treat' on shelves at Morrisons and Sainsbury's
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) KELLOGG'S has revealed six new snacks including an "irresistible treat" being sold at Morrisons and Sainsbury's. Shoppers are desperate to try the fresh flavours dropping this month, from Pop Tarts to Squares. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Kellogg's revealed six new snacks including an "irresistible treat" being sold at Morrisons and Sainsbury's The latest edition of Rice Krispies Squares are sure to be a fan favourite, Honeycomb and Chocolate. These goodies boast a scrumptious twists on the classic - a layer of golden honeycomb topped with milk chocolate. And, bargain hunters will be impressed by the £2.25 price tag for a packet of four. Meanwhile, Pop Tarts lovers are sure to enjoy the all-new Frosted Choco Orange Flavour. They make the perfect on-the-go snack, and a box of eight can be enjoyed for just £3.00. For any gym-goers looking to pack more protein into their day, the new Kellogg's High Protein Bars can offer an extra 8g. They contain roasted almonds, other crunchy nuts, rich chocolate and gooey caramel. There are two flavours to chose from, Almond and Dark Chocolate or Almond and Salted Caramel Flavour. Stocked on shelves for £2.50 per pack of four, these handy snack bars work out at just 0.62p each. Finally, Kellogg's Oaties cereal bars are sure to make a healthy yet delicious addition to any packed lunch. Kellogg's discontinues breakfast cereal They're made with 55 per cent wholegrain oats which makes them a great source of fibre. Shoppers can decide between the Chocolate and Oat or Honey and Oat - or both - at just £2.25 per four pack. All of the new goodies are available at Sainsbury's and Morrisons from mid July. They will be rolled out in Tesco and Asda from September. This comes as Kellogg's revealed two brand new cereals just months after its "tastiest" popular breakfast staple was axed. The latest additions to the cereal giant's lineup are now available at four major UK supermarkets and come with a very reasonable price tag. Kellogg's Oaties is a new oat-based crunchy cereal that's perfect for giving a morning energy boost for all ages. The cereals are available in either Original Crunch or Choco Crunch flavours, both of which are designed to keep their cereal pieces crunchy, even when soaked in milk. High in fibre, the cereal also has added vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, and iron to help your metabolism. The 500g packs of new cereal, designed for families, are priced at just £3.49. Kellogg's said food developers worked for months to perfect the "unique, multilayered texture" to ensure the crunchiness of each bite. Oats and cereal flours were carefully blended with "quality ingredients" to make the dough which was gently cooked and shaped into the pillow-like bites, the cereal giant added. Crucially, both these new flavours are non-HFSS (high in fat, salt, and sugar) and have up to 8.9g of fibre per every 100g of cereal. The recommended daily intake of fibre is 30g, according to government guidelines. This now also means that four of the five bestselling cereals from Kellogg's are non-HFSS: Special K, Coco Pops, Rice Krispies, and Corn Flakes. Caroline Deeley, R&D Cereal Technical Manager, Kellogg's, said: 'Our world-class R&D team has worked tirelessly to perfect the new Oaties recipe, bringing together delicious flavour, nutrition, and a unique texture that keeps its crunch – something we know cereal fans up and down the country will appreciate. "It's also packed with wholegrains from oats, providing morning energy for families to kick start the day, whatever their morning routine looks like. "It's been many months in the making, but we're confident our new Oaties range will be well worth the wait.' In other Kellogg's news, the company confirmed a childhood favourite cereal has sadly been discontinued again following a mass recall last year. The breakfast giant has confirmed to The Sun that its chocolate-flavoured Corn Flakes are not returning to shelves. Last May, Kellogg's urgently recalled the cereal from the shelves amid fears the product could lead to choking or dental damage. It was pulled from shelves last spring and has not been seen since, leaving many shoppers to ask where it had gone. Writing on X, one user said: "Did @KelloggsUKI discontinue chocolate cornflakes again?". Another wrote: "I know you recalled chocolate cornflakes, but are they ever going to be back again, they were only brought back for a few weeks then re called." A third posted: "Any idea when your chocolate cornflakes are coming back in store?" Earlier this week, rumours swirled online that the cereal was due to make a return to shelves. Shoppers were really excited when they spotted the rumour, with one customer writing: "glad to hear it". Another wrote: "When when when?!!" While a third posted: "YES they were 10/10." A Kellogg's spokesperson said: "We love that Kellogg's fans are so passionate about their favourite cereals and we're proud to be a part of millions of people's breakfasts each morning in the UK. "We can never say never, but while there are no current plans to bring back Chocolate Corn Flakes, we do have lots of other exciting new products out now, like Kellogg's Oaties and Bluey Multigrain cereal, with more coming next year for cereal lovers to try.' And it's not the first time Kellogg's has waved goodbye to a beloved snack. Last summer the food giant axed All Bran Golden Crunch, in a blow to shoppers. Two years ago shoppers were also horrified to learn the cereal giant had axed Frosties from its multi pack boxes as it contained too much sugar.
