    Nice special. Just be aware the ice cream component is the minimum 10% milk fat. Any less it would not be able to be labelled ice cream.

      Video complains that 1L of Connoisseur ice cream weighs the same as 2L of budget brand ice cream. I think you need to stop consuming AI generated slop, even if the voice has an Aussie accent like Hughesy.

        yes, that video has quite a few inaccuracies.

    At least it still qualifies as icecream. I'm still in shock over finding out about magnum being classified as a frozen dessert

    This is made with 10% powdered milk. It's owned by a foreign multinational

    Bulla ice cream is make with 25% full cream milk and is owned by an Australian family.

    Who's buying a more expensive, inferior product?

      Vote with your wallet, buy Bulla

      Bulla Creamy Classics Vanilla ingredients: fresh milk, fresh cream (milk) (20%), sugar, water, maltodextrin, milk solids, emulsifier (471), thickeners (guar gum, carrageenan), flavour, colour (annatto).

      Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Ice Cream ingredients: Fresh Cream (39%) (milk), Condensed Skim Milk, Sugar, Water, Egg Yolk, Vanilla Flavour.

      I looked at just about every icecream sold at coles. These are the best 2. The Maggie Beer Burnt Fig Honeycomb & Caramel Ice Cream also had a relatively clean ingredients list.

        FWIW 'Milk solids' is powdered milk.

        Its a bit rich to complain about powdered milk and then claim in the same breath that Bulla is a superior product.

        • Eeples on 08/02/2026 - 23:54

          Is it though?

          The complaint was surely about the lack of actual milk which bulla has comparatively heaps.

          • RnR on 09/02/2026 - 00:04

            @Eeples: Skim milk isn't actual milk? How far down that rabbit hole do we wanna go? :)

            Connoisseur and Bulla are both kinda average if we compare them to Haagen Dasz. Its kinda weird that Haagen Dasz can make the economics work with a product thats made in France. High quality ingredients with a low overrun must be a niche market in Australia if the milk majors can't take on something from France.

    • RnR on 08/02/2026 - 23:21

      Whats your source for the 10% powdered milk value? Bulla uses powdered milk… they just call it 'milk solids'.

    • Igaf on 09/02/2026 - 17:01

      I vote with my taste buds and Bulla doesn't cut it despite its origins.

    Not bought Connoisseur since they discontinued the popular "Hazelnut & Murray River Salted Caramel" and replaced with cheap sugary trash "Murray River Salted Caramel". Lot of angry comments on their FB page.

  • HappyJoyJoy on 08/02/2026 - 19:30

    I always like these deal
    fun Fact - each week it changes between Woolies/Coles/IGA or a week after - between $6 and $9

    Interesting video - check this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GcKK_BEQWA

    Rating 2.6 out of 5.
    No real milk, just skim. (full off vegetable gums to to thicken it up).
    Mostly full of air (50%)
    Not a premium icecream

    • c00per on 08/02/2026 - 20:56

      Yeah, I saw someone post another video similar to this, but it does have 21% Cream, so idk.

      My family love it, but we have 1/2 price rule…. maybe it is the over run/texture that they like???

      • garage sale on 12/02/2026 - 03:54

        ice cream is sold by volume not weight, so i look at the ingredients and accept that it’s a lighter texture, but texture is part of the taste experience, so weight doesn’t worry me.

    • posilepton on 09/02/2026 - 02:15

      The video's complaint is that it doesn't deserve the premium label. I mean, at half price, it's not really charging premium ice cream prices. Just ignore it being premium and treat it as ordinary ice cream.

    • EightImmortals on 09/02/2026 - 08:21

      I've seen a few of those AI vids along similar lines, something didn't sound quite right to me though I haven't deep dived their claims.

    • Igaf on 09/02/2026 - 13:11

      You're going to be shocked if you ever bother to find out how much air there is in bread.

      Air is a necessary ingredient of all ice-cream, and many other other products/food recipes. With regard to taste and mouth feel, what's the difference between skim milk with added cream and "real milk"?

      Simplistic IA (sic) twaddle with zero data sources and no authorship should be taken with a grain of salt, assuming your diet allows it. Consuming such twaddle is certainly not good for brain health.

  • idm on 08/02/2026 - 20:06

    Deal is a deal but I wouldn't buy since the recent recipes change. Simply not worths it and doesn't taste good anymore.

    I'm so disappointed with ice cream in Australia. I feel like standard ice creams even sold in remote villages in Asia are similar or better. I'm not a connoisseur but ice cream doesn't seem to have a real creaminess to it. It's just sugary liquid.

      You're crazy if you think that "standard ice creams" sold in Asia are even real ice cream. Asians (other than Indians) don't even consume milk like we do, and all the "creaminess" is completely fake and artificial. You'll struggle to find ice creams with ANY fresh milk in them.

      • Runescape on 09/02/2026 - 14:00

        India makes the best standard ice creams. Way better than Australia. The cows are treated better.

        • Igaf on 09/02/2026 - 17:02

          Thanks for the laugh

    • garage sale on 12/02/2026 - 03:58

      depends on brand and flavor, chocolate ice cream freezes at lower than vanilla, so that also impacts at what temp it softens when eating it, there is a lot of chemistry to make good ice cream.

    Bulla is currently half price at Coles this week. The Creamy Classics range is far better than Connoisseur.

    The Not-So-Good (If you’re looking for premium quality)

    This recipe suggests it’s more of a regular commercial ice cream, not ultra-premium. Why?

    1. Glucose syrup + sugar

    Used for sweetness and texture. Common in mid-tier supermarket ice creams.

    1. Vegetable emulsifier (471)

    Mono- and diglycerides—totally safe, but used to stabilise lower-fat mixes or improve mouthfeel cheaply.

    1. Vegetable gums (410, 412)

    Locust bean gum & guar gum. Again, safe and normal, but indicate it’s not “super premium.”
    Premium brands rely more on natural creaminess instead of gums.

    1. Water as a major ingredient

    High-end ice creams don’t list water near the top.
    Water + gums usually = more airy, less creamy texture.

    1. Only 26% cream

    Premium ice creams often use 35–45% cream, not 26%.

    • CodeXD on 08/02/2026 - 23:10

      Then what is considered good?

        Haagen Dazs is about the only one with a very clean and good ingredients list and low overrun. 1/2 price at woolies until end of Tuesday this week.

    Sad about all the ingredient changes, thanks though OP. Might be time to remove the connoiseur notification.
    Have been using the compressor aldi machine more & more for good quality but super cheap ($2-4/L) froyo, sorbet, gelato and icecream, and very happy with the results.
    Ozbargain-worthy hacks abound in the deals for the anko, aldi and breville smartscoop machine recipes (also ninja etc), if you want inspiration.
    Handy if you have access/needs to:
    - Fruit on special
    - cream on special
    - cheap/free eggs
    - specific flavours (e.g. pistachio, matcha, roasted fruit)
    - dietary needs

    • EightImmortals on 09/02/2026 - 08:24

      We have an icecream maker, what's your favourite recipe?

      • Embaloo on 09/02/2026 - 08:50
        +2

        For indulgent, currently appreciating the efficient, quick-mixes of:

        Milk, 1/tin sweetened condensed milk, 200mL cream and 1tbsp of either:
        -pistachio spread, hazelnut spread, matcha powder, cocoa powder, vanilla & extra milk, peanut butter, coconut or air-fryer roasted fruit.

        Healthier/for needs:
        - coconut milk/cream and the above flavours
        - home-made yoghurt + a fruit blended together

        • Fruit-use-up:
          Whatever fruit blended, plus whatever sugar & water depending on how sweet the fruit is (pros use a refractometer).
          Lemon sorbet works well with a 1:1:1 volume sugar water juice ratio, when citrus are in season or someone has too many on their tree, otherwise just gets expensive.

        If u have a smoothie maker, just blend everything then chuck in the maker & press go.

        Keep in takeaway containers in the freezer if there's leftovers, just defrost for 5 mins beforehabd.

        When eggs are free & cream is on special, can make a bulk egg-based icecream custard for quality gelato for a few batches. Ann reardon's icecream recipes are great.

    Connoisseur is definitely the creme de la creme imo!

    • garage sale on 12/02/2026 - 04:02

      their belgian chocolate is hard to for cocoa and cream content per $,

  • milkabuck on 10/02/2026 - 12:44

    We still haven't finished a tub from the last time it was half price and that's the longest it's ever lastest. Won't be buying it after the recipe change it's just not the same. Hopefully Connoisseur will backtrack on this ensh!ttification as it was one of our little luxuries in life.
