3 reasons why we love Woolworths Tin Roof ice cream

By TASTE, 2 September 2024

Whether you want to cool down, are craving something sweet and decadent, or want a cold addition to a warm pudding, you always need a tub of Tin Roof dairy ice cream in the freezer. Here’s why Tin Roof dairy ice cream is the obvious choice for our favourite desserts.

Woolworths' iconic Tin Roof dairy ice cream needs no introduction. This vanilla ice cream, which boasts swirls of chocolate sauce and chopped roasted almonds, is everyone's favourite ice cream – we bet you have a tub in your freezer right now! Want to know what makes this ice cream an undisputed favourite? Here are a few points to start:

1. It's SA's number 1 ice cream

Did you know that over 1.4 million two-litre tubs of Woolworths Tin Roof dairy ice cream are sold annually? That's almost 3 million litres of Tin Roof dairy ice cream every year!

2. Only real cream and fresh full-cream milk are used

Woolworths' milk is the only milk to choose. It's locally produced making it the obvious choice for making SA's favourite ice cream.

3. It contains real cocoa

Tin Roof dairy ice cream contains swirls of chocolate sauce. This chocolate is made using UTZ-certified cocoa, which is better for farmers, their families and the planet.

Tin Roof dairy ice cream is a complete dessert, but if you're in the mood for a few extra additions, amagwinya ice-cream sandwiches and a Tin Roof banana split will hit the spot!

Amagwinya ice-cream sandwiches

This is what happens when two South African icons meet! Slice open amagwinya and pile scoops of Tin Roof dairy ice cream, drizzle with extra chocolate sauce and add a sprinkle of chopped almonds. If you're craving something sweet but don't feel like baking, this is the treat to make.

Tin Roof banana split

One scoop of Tin Roof dairy ice cream is never enough. Pile scoops of this national favourite onto caramelised bananas (made in the air-fryer for extra speed) and drizzle with chocolate syrup. Add a cherry on top as a nod to the classic banana split.
