Summer treats often mean ice cream, and this season Mercadona answers with a fresh lineup that fits small moments and spontaneous cravings alike. The famous Valencia-based retailer keeps expanding its freezer aisles, presenting new mini formats that are easy to grab, share, or enjoy solo. The goal is clear: delight shoppers with variety that travels well, fits in a lunchbox, and brings a burst of flavor to sunny days.
Mercadona’s new mini ice creams for this summer
Mercadona introduces a handful of flavors and formats designed to appeal to busy days and casual snacking. The mini cream bonbons arrive in a compact, rounded shape, delivering a creamy milk profile with hazelnut crunch and a crisp waffle bite. Sweet and indulgent, they come in convenient boxes of eight pieces, making them ideal for sharing or portion-controlled treats during outdoor moments.
For pistachio lovers, a smaller version of the pistachio ice cream is available. This season also features an ice cream bar coated with milk chocolate, with salted caramel and salted pistachio inside. The bar format offers a different texture from traditional tubs or cones, delivering a balanced bite with the creamy pistachio base and a crisp chocolate shell. The box contains six bars, offering a ready-to-eat option at a modest price point.
For coconut fans, there is a bar filled with shredded coconut ice cream, all dipped in milk chocolate and rolled in grated coconut. The result is a crunchy exterior that complements a rich coconut center, yielding a distinct tropical note. Boxes accommodate six bars, making it simple to stock up for gatherings or solo indulgence.
Those who crave chocolate will likely enjoy the chocobolas cone. It features a chocolate-flavored ice cream with a chocolate sauce swirl inside, plus bite-sized chocolate balls for extra texture and sweetness. This cone-style option broadens the mini-range with a dessert-like experience that emphasizes cocoa flavors.
Other Mercadona ice creams
Beyond the mini line, Mercadona also rolled out a full-sized option this summer: a 100% plant-based pistachio ice cream, enriched with peanut sauce and caramelized pieces of the nut. It has drawn praise for its texture and flavor, and it’s suitable for vegans. A half-pound tub is priced at approximately 2.65 euros, offering a compelling vegan alternative without sacrificing richness.
For waffle cone enthusiasts, the brand provides appealing innovations as well. The pecan cone combines caramel and vanilla ice cream, enrobed in cocoa and finished with caramel chunks and caramelized pecans. A drizzle of caramel sauce adds another layer of sweetness, creating a multi-textured treat that pairs well with coffee or a cooling summer break.
Another chocolate-forward option is the chocobolas cone, a chocolate-flavored ice cream housed with chocolate sauce inside and accented by chocolate balls for extra crunch. This choice completes a varied lineup that covers classic palettes while offering modern twists in mini and regular formats.
