You know the drill by now. I eat my way through all the new icies so you don’t have to. Tough job absolutely no one asked me to do. Overall, this year was very strong. Much better than last year’s rather underwhelming experience. There’s quite a few pieces I would consider buying again and only one to really avoid. The Magnum Double Starchaser comes out on top and the Nötkola comes dead last. Let me know which ones you like!
The test selection is based on what my local store had available at the time I went to procure this year’s haul. I missed out on the Vegan Salted Caramel from Sia so it will remain a mystery until I can get my hands on it.

Raspberry licorice 🍦🍦🍦
Tastes exactly like you’d expect. But the core of salty licorice had a weird texture. I expected it to me smooth by instead it was a little bit grainy, almost. I liked it until I got to the core, hubby the licorice connoisseur didn’t like it at all.
Magnum Double Starchaser 🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦
Very tasty, but then I’m a fan of chocolate covered popcorn flavored ice cream with soft caramel in between the chocolate layers. The popcorn flakes in the outer chocolate adds some crunch, which I liked. Hubby wasn’t as enthusiastic, but when is he so it gets the top rating anyway.
Twister Monstaahh 🍦🍦🍦
For the first time since the testing began in 2016, we have a kid to try out the kids’ news. At first Kiddo was very enthusiastic, loved the different colors in the twist. Then it took him quite a while to get through it, he almost gave up half-way. In the end, though, I think he liked it. I had a taste too. Not bad, but wouldn’t buy it again.
Magnum Vegan Raspberry Swirl 🍦🍦🍦🍦
I really liked this one, not too sweet and refreshing raspberry ice cream. As always with vegan ice cream, there’s that hint of another flavor in the actual ice cream but all in all, I would totally buy this again.
Daim Mint 🍦🍦🍦 (🍦)
Probably hubby’s favorite, he ate both of the samples in the test. I had a bite of one. It’s mint ice cream in a cone, dipped in milk chocolate. It tastes like sweet toothpaste to me. A bite is fine, a whole cone is too much. Unless you’re like my hubby. Then you’ll love it.
Magnum Double Sunlover 🍦🍦🍦🍦
Sweet but not too sweet because of the mango and passion fruit. I could imagine having this as a dessert after a good meal.
Sia Glass
Nötkola 🍦
They should be glad there’s no crossed over ice cream emoji. This was not good. Weird, bland flavor, no hint of the caramel swirl that was supposed to be there, the hazelnuts didn’t taste like hazelnuts… I didn’t even finish mine. It might have something to do with the ”no added sugar” thing but in that case, they got the recipe wrong. Don’t waste calories on this one.
Chokladkaka 🍦🍦🍦
I’ll be honest, I never got around to try this one because hubby ate both test samples before I could get a bite. He’s not big on chocolate ice cream normally but said it was good. I, on the other hand love chocolate ice cream so I would probably have given it one more 🍦 had I had the chance to try it. Might have to to a follow-up och this one.
Superhjälte 🍦🍦🍦🍦
Kiddo loved the pear ice cream but didn’t know what to do with the milk chocolate cover. I helped him out and ate that so everybody wins. The pear ice cream was pretty good too so I’d consider buying this for myself.
