The best part of summer is, arguably, ice cream. Whether it’s frozen fast food treats, nostalgic ice cream truck favorites, or even just a simple scoop straight from the tub, something about warm weather makes ice cream taste that much sweeter. Summer is the perfect excuse to stock up on cold treats, and Aldi consistently boasts an impressive selection of frozen desserts, from mini ice cream cones to Ben & Jerry’s copycats. But one fan-favorite Aldi Find consistently stands out during its seasonal runs, and the beloved ice cream treat is finally back—but only for a limited time.
Aldi Brings Back Sundae Shoppe Stroopwafel Ice Cream Sandwiches
Aldi’s Sundae Shoppe Stroopwafel Ice Cream Sandwiches are a limited-time offering, and after a seasonal hiatus, the delectable treat is finally back in stores—and fans are already hyped. These ice cream sandwiches, which tend to hit shelves in spring and summer, feature creamy vanilla ice cream between two soft, caramel-filled stroopwafel cookies. A stroopwafel is a near-perfect cookie on its own, and yet Aldi’s combo creates the perfect balance of cool indulgence and buttery sweetness for the ideal summer treat.
“Ice cream sandwiches will never be the same!” according to one fan of the Aldi Findwho called the stroopwafel cookies “a game-changer,” adding “They hold together remarkably well, the caramel and cookie[s] are soft and don’t squish.”
“Yes, they’re delicious!” one Redditor added, saying “I regret not buying 2 boxes.” Similarly, another shopper said that her husband ate the entire box of sandwiches on their drive home from Aldi.
Fans also said that the Aldi Stroopwafel Ice Cream Sandwiches seem like they may be a copycat of a premium ice cream brand. “We recently tried these Tillamook Ice Cream Sandwiches (the salted caramel ones—amazing!) and the Aldi sandwiches seem like they might be similar,” wrote one user on a thread about the mini desserts.
Like the Aldi sandwiches, Tillamook’s version (which are dubbed “Tillamookies”) features a waffle cookie on the outside with salted caramel ice cream on the inside. Both Tillamook and Aldi sell the ice cream sandwiches in packs of four, and the prices ($4.99 a pop) are identical.
Just as is the case with all Aldi Finds, the Sundae Shoppe Stroopwafel Ice Cream Sandwiches won’t be on shelves for long. If you’re interested in trying them for yourself, the sweet treat will be in the Aldi Finds freezer now through August 5, or until supplies last. But, given how much fans adore them, you might want to head to your local store sooner rather than later—once these limited-edition ice cream sandwiches are sold out, they’re gone. So stock up while you can, and let’s hope that Aldi brings these ice cream sandwiches back sooner rather than later.
