7 Ice Cream Brands Sold at Costco That Actually Use Real Cream

These Costco ice cream brands skip fillers and are made with real cream.

Ice cream made with real cream is a true treat—the texture and flavor of real cream cannot be matched by frozen treats made with artificial flavors and ingredients. Costco’s range of ice creams is large enough to include both real ice cream and frozen desserts, but while other stores might charge a premium for the real thing, at Costco you’re sure to get a bargain. Here are seven ice cream brands sold at Costco that use real cream.

Häagen-Dazs Strawberry Ice Cream

Häagen-Dazs Strawberry Ice Cream is made with real cream and real strawberries. “Haagen dazs was the winner for me. This was actually surprising to me because I’m not a Haagen dazs fan at all. I find their ice creams to be too milky and not creamy enough, they also taste kind of bland sometimes. But THIS ice cream was the exception. Super fresh tasting and creamy with chunks of strawberry throughout,” one Redditor said.

Twix Ice Cream Bars

Costco fans say the ice cream is even better than the candy bars, which the warehouse chain also sells. “Great way to buy bulk candy. Twix is my favorite. I was able to add to many stockings for Christmas,” one shopper said.
