Aldi has announced the launch of the UK's first Dubai Chocolate Ice Cream, set to hit stores on April 14.
The frozen treat will retail at £3.99 for a 500ml tub, making Aldi the first UK supermarket to offer this increasingly popular flavour in ice cream form.
The announcement comes as Dubai Chocolate products continue to generate significant excitement among British shoppers.
The Dubai Chocolate trend has taken social media by storm, exceeding hundreds of millions of TikTok views.

Google searches for the term have reached almost 6.5 million in the last month alone.
The phenomenon centres around a distinctive treat featuring knafeh and pistachio filling encased in milk chocolate. British consumers have shown overwhelming enthusiasm for the product, with many expressing eagerness to try it across social media platforms.
Aldi's Dubai Chocolate Ice Cream combines decadent chocolate with sweet, nutty pistachio.
The supermarket describes it as creating a "deliciously crunchy, wafer-like ice-cream tub".
This frozen interpretation of the viral chocolate bar maintains the key flavour elements that have made the original so sought-after.
For pistachio enthusiasts, Aldi calls it a "pistachio lovers' cream come true". The Dubai Chocolate craze has led several supermarkets to implement purchase restrictions on the original chocolate bars.
Both Lidl and Waitrose have introduced strict two-bar limits per customer on Dubai chocolate products.
These measures aim to ensure fair distribution, allowing more shoppers to experience the trendy treat before stocks run out.
A Waitrose spokesperson told GB News: "Due to the incredible popularity of this product, we want to make sure that as many customers as possible have the opportunity to try it."
