The Specially Selected Tiramisu Gelato has landed in the freezer aisle for just £2.49 a tub (480ml), and fans are calling it the 'Dubai chocolate' of 2025.
The arrival has whipped foodies into a frenzy, with social media review giants like foodreviewsuk and snackreviews urging their followers to 'get it while they can' .
Crafted in Italy, this posh pud takes the classic tiramisu to new heights.
It's loaded with silky, creamy gelato, swirled through with a rich coffee sauce and finished with a boozy kick of Marsala wine.
One fan gushed: 'I am drooling…'.
Another confessed: 'I'd inhale the whole thing!'.
While a third simply declared: 'Absolutely delicious – take me to Aldi now!'.
It's layered, it's luxurious, and at just £2.49 it's a steal compared to similar desserts at supermarkets.
Sainsbury's Tiramisu Gelato retails for £4.40 - almost double the price.
Others are selling Tiramisu inspired puddings, confirming it might just be this summer's big flavour.
Waitrose, for example, is flogging a Pistachio Tiramisu for £6.50, while Sainsbury's has a Taste the Difference version at £4.50.
You asked, we delivered' says Irish supermarket as viral chocolate lands in stores but 'they won't last'
Aldi, though, is also serving up a two-pack of pistachio tiramisu puddings for just £2.49.
The nation's tiramisu obsession isn't stopping in supermarket aisles.
Coffee chains are jumping on the trend, with Costa launching its new Tiramisu Iced Whipped Latte for £4.90 and a super indulgent Tiramisu Frappe for £5.35.
Both drinks are thick, creamy and packed with that classic coffee-and-cream kick, perfect for cooling off in the summer heat.
For those on the go, Costa's also got ready-to-drink tiramisu cans for just £2.50.
Starbucks is also serving up a Tiramisu Cream Iced Latte for £4.95 and it's already a hit with fans who say it tastes like dessert in a cup.
But back to the Aldi gelato — shoppers are comparing it to the viral 'Dubai chocolate' sensation for its boujee vibes and bargain price.
And with a zesty Specially Selected Lemon Meringue Gelato also hitting freezers at the same price, there's something for every sweet tooth.
We've approached Aldi to find out how long the Gelato flavours will remain on shelves.
More sweet treats
Its comes as Aldi announced the launch of its own version of the wildly popular Dubai-style chocolate bar.
The indulgent treat features layers of rich pistachio cream and crunchy kadayif pastry, all encased in smooth milk chocolate.
The luxurious chocolate bar will be hitting UK shelves later this month, retailing at £3.99.
Meanwhile, shoppers have been going wild over after a beloved Quality Street dessert returned to supermarket shelves.
The Toffee Penny pudding was spotted at Iceland stores this week.
Elsewhere, chocoholics spotted a rare Cadbury treat from overseas on B&M shelves.
The 5 Star Mini Treats - a caramel-packed favourite usually found in far-flung places like India, Brazil and South Africa – are now being sold for just £2 in UK stores.
Plus, shoppers have discovered a brand new kinder bar as part of Tesco's meal deal offer.
The new snack features a crispy wafer layered with smooth milky and cocoa-hazelnut creams, wrapped in milk chocolate and topped with biscuit crumbs.
It's quickly becoming a fan favourite, thanks to its indulgent flavour and affordable price.
SAVE MONEY AT ALDI
Keeping your eyes peeled for cheap Specialbuys is just one way to save money at Aldi.
The supermarket often comes out cheapest for a smaller trolley of items in Which? surveys as well, including in April.
The consumer website recently found a shopping list of 79 items would have cost you £135.95 on average across the month.
Rival Lidl was close behind, with the same shop costing £136.64, if you had a Lidl Plus card.
It's worth keeping an eye out for any red sticker products too, which are added to items going out of date or that are slightly damaged.
Aldi tends to add them to items in the morning so it's best to get to your local branch early if you want to get the best discounts.
Take advantage of Aldi's cheap alcohol which could save you some cash compared to going with branded versions.
Look out for Too Good to Go "Surprise Bags" as well.
They cost just £3.30 and come with £10 worth of food approaching its sell-by or use-by date inside.

I tested Whispering Angel wine to Lidl's Breath of Paradise
This 75cl light pink concoction costs £10.99 per bottle and was made as an alternative to Whispering Angel. Produced by Château d'Esclans it is made from choice grapes in the Esclans Valley and the Cotes de Provence region. It has proved to be quite a popular option for the summer season, but it's not exactly cheap. A post shared by Lidl GB (@lidlgb) Most sites I've found list it for around £22.50, which is what I picked it up for from Ocado. While I am not a massive wine drinker, the fact that Lidl had prioritised quite a bit of their marketing for Breath of Paradise in highlighting it as an alternative to Whispering Angel begged for a comparison to be done. Both wines are bottled in France, with Lidl's option being made from grenache, syrah and cinsault grapes, so it would be interesting to see if that made enough of a difference in the taste. For Lidl, a £10.99 wine is expensive for them, so it still had a lot to live up to, but the emphasis was still on Whispering Angel to justify the extra cost. As mentioned previously, I am not a big wine drinker, but I have slowly progressed from liking prosecco to white wine and rosé every now and again. I'm still not quite there with red wine yet, but I hope in the next few years my palate expands a bit and becomes more sophisticated. After purchasing the wines, it was interesting to see how much inspiration Lidl had taken in the design of the bottle. The two bottles were very similar in design (Image: Newsquest) The gold seal, white label, calligraphic writing and crest in the centre of the bottle all added up to a very similar overview. While the design was very close, how would the taste compare? I decided to try the Whispering Angel first, as it was the original, and there was a bit of trouble in getting the cork out. In my first go of it, the corkscrew got in, but then partially disintegrated the cork in the attempt to pull it out. The Whispering Angel was crisp and went down smoothly (Image: Newsquest) A second attempt was more successful, but it did mean bits of cork were now floating about in the light pink drink. After filtering the wine to make sure we got bits out, it was finally time to give it a taste. It should be said that both wines had been placed in the fridge at the same time, so they were at the same temperature. The wine was crisp, had floral notes in the taste and went down fairly easily. There wasn't much to separate the two wines (Image: Newsquest) I've not had a huge amount of rosé wine in my time, but it seemed decent, although with the price tag attached, it should be. After cleansing my palate with a bit of water (I'm told that's what wine critics do), I then went onto Breath of Paradise. What I found remarkable is outside of some subtle differences in flavour, there really wasn't much to separate them. Recommended reading: I tested Aldi's new 'wine of the summer' and almost lost all my street cred The 3 delightful Rosés from Aldi you don't want to miss and the 1 to avoid The own-brand supermarket wines that beat bottles costing hundreds Both are crisp and go down quite nicely on a warm evening, but there's not a lot to indicate that one is £11 more expensive than the other. Obviously, it should be noted I am not a professional wine critic, and I imagine there are those in the industry who would take my observations with a grain of salt, saying there's plenty to differentiate them. However, the average shopper isn't going to be at that level, and I imagine they might arrive at the same conclusion.

'I'm Queen of Clean - use a 35p supermarket buy to get suncream off clothes'
Brits are set to bask in a 38C heatwave, which means we'll all be slapping on the sunscreen – but what happens when it stains your clothes? A cleaning guru has the answer Summer has officially arrived, with the hottest day of the year already recorded at a scorching 32.2C in Kew, west London last Thursday. However, it's not all sunshine and roses as showers are forecasted to drench some regions, bringing nearly half a month's worth of rain to abruptly end the heatwave. Weather maps indicate around 30mm of rain - more than half an average June's total - is set to batter parts of the Midlands, the Home Counties and the East of England on Saturday, 28 June. Despite this, the splendid weather is expected to persist for a bit longer, with Saturday predicted to be the warmest day of the year so far, potentially reaching a staggering 38C in some areas of the East of England. People are even wondering if you can stop working when it gets too hot. Meanwhile, Brits are turning their thoughts towards paddling pools, sprinklers and ice lollies to stay cool, and barbecues for some fun in the sun. Regrettably, this season comes with its own set of stain hazards, from the risk of ketchup or barbecue sauce dripping from our burgers onto our pristine clothes, to the constant application of SPF leaving cream marks, not to mention the heat causing people to leave unsightly sweat stains. Luckily, This Morning cleaning expert Lynsey Crombie, also known as the Queen of Clean, has all the tips and tricks for tackling stubborn stains, ensuring that you can navigate the heatwave looking and feeling clean and fresh. The 15 Minute Clean: The Quickest Way to a Sparkling Home, £14.99, is available on Amazon, currently on offer for £12.29. Suncream can be a real nuisance to remove from clothes and the longer you leave it, the worse it'll become. If you're out and about when the stain happens, Lynsey recommends gently blotting it to absorb as much of the cream as possible. Alternatively, use hand sanitiser to cover the stain - this will prevent it from spreading. If you're away from home at the beach, she advises: "Cover the stain with sand to dry it out. As soon as you can, rinse the stain from the reverse under a cold water tap, to help push it out of the fabric." And in a genius hack she then recommends using a simple supermarket buy to really do the work. White wine vinegar, available in supermarkets including Aldi for just 35p, is just what you need. Lynsey says: "This can help break down the oil base of the suncream - simply cover the stain in the vinegar then leave for 30 minutes." You can also use eucalyptus oil, which she says "has magical stain removal qualities and smells incredible. Coat your stain in the stuff, leave for 15 minutes." Finally, after applying one or the other, wash the garment at the hottest temperature that's safe for the fabric, and check for the stain again before you dry. She finishes: "Once the item has dried you won't get the stain out. So if there is still a trace of the stain repeat this process again. Avoid the tumble dryer because any trace of the stain will become permanent." For anyone who has a mishap at a barbecue, by spilling sauce on their clothes, Lynsey also has the answer. She suggests first scraping off any excess sauce with a blunt knife to prevent it from seeping further into the fabric. She advises: "You should then flip the item inside out and rinse under cold running water to push the sauce out from the back, as this helps lift the stain rather than spread it. Cold water also prevents the stain from setting." But that's not all. You should then turn the garment right-side out, apply a dollop of washing-up liquid directly to the stained area, and pop it in the wash as usual. As Lynsey explains: "Washing-up liquid cuts through the grease and sugar in barbecue sauces."
