Aldi is selling a $4.99 dupe of a popular ice cream that sells for DOUBLE the price

Shoppers are going wild for Aldi Australia’s new low-calorie ice cream that tastes just as good as an expensive brand costing double the price.

The budget supermarket is offering a $4.99 duplicate to the $10 Halo Top, which touts the benefits of containing just 280 to 360 calories per tub.

Health conscious foodies can buy get the cheap alternative called ‘Kenny’s’, available in choc chip dough (360 calories) or salted caramel (300 calories).

Customers are already comparing the cheap brand to the expensive alternative, with many insisting it tastes just as good.

‘Choc chip cookie dough is so much better than the Halo Top counterpart,’ Marianne said.

‘It’s like halo but half the price,’ Rachie said. 

Paulita said: ‘It’s a Halo Top equivalent for much less.’

Another consumer – who scored the new ice cream range eight-and-a-half out of 10 – said she was pleasantly surprise when she got to taste it.

‘I’ve been waiting very patiently for Aldi to finally bring their own brand of low cal ice cream to Australian shores, and was overjoyed to discover these and of course nab the first two tubs off the shelf,’ she said. 

‘Honestly, I was quite surprised. This is good. Like, really good! The ice cream is super creamy, and tastes like”real” ice cream.’

Aldi’s version of a Viennetta (pictured) 

The new product comes just months after Aldi launched an ice cream cake inspired by the original Viennetta for just $3.99.

The classic dessert, which consists of layers of melted chocolate and blended with vanilla ice cream – was a popular treat among Australian families in the 80s and 90s.

‘That fancy dessert you remember from your childhood is back,’ the retailer said.
