Aldi Australia has sparked a frenzy in the freezer aisle as shoppers rush to grab a beloved ice cream that has made a surprise comeback after selling out years ago. Fans are thrilled to find that it remains just as delightful as before.

The product in question is the Jelli Pop, priced at $4.99. This treat features chocolate-coated ice cream adorned with a raspberry-flavored jelly topping. Its return has rekindled enthusiasm among customers who fondly recall the excitement it generated during its initial release.

Described by enthusiasts as nostalgic, indulgent, and almost irresistible, the ice cream has swiftly reclaimed its cult favorite status. Some fans confess they couldn’t resist consuming the entire box shortly after purchase.

The $4.99 Jelli Pop, a chocolate-coated ice cream topped with raspberry-flavoured jelly, has returned to stores, reigniting excitement among shoppers who still remember the frenzy when it first launched.

Described by fans as nostalgic, indulgent, and dangerously easy to eat, the ice cream has quickly regained its cult status, with some admitting they barely made it past the first box.

‘I am hooked on these,’ one shopper wrote.

‘Ate the whole box myself… over a couple of days of course!’

Others said the texture contrast is what makes it irresistible.

‘Best part is the top,’ one fan commented, referring to the glossy jelly layer that sets it apart from standard chocolate-coated ice creams.

For many, the return feels like a welcome blast from the past.

When Jelli Pops were first introduced in 2020, shoppers went into full stockpiling mode.

‘We smashed three boxes last week. Tastes just like real jelly tips!’ one person wrote at the time.

Another said they bought 10 boxes because they kept selling out every time they went back to the store.

Food-wise, the appeal is simple but clever.

The combination of creamy vanilla ice cream, tart raspberry jelly and a crisp chocolate shell hits multiple cravings at once – sweet, sharp, creamy and crunchy – making it feel more indulgent than the price tag suggests.

Some shoppers have even compared it to the beloved Jelly Tip ice creams popular in New Zealand, with several expats calling it a near-perfect dupe.

‘These were my absolute favourite ice creams in NZ. So happy they’re back,’ one fan wrote.

There’s also a practical win that’s earned the ice cream an even more loyal following: it’s gluten free.

With cost-of-living pressures still front of mind, shoppers are increasingly drawn to affordable indulgences - especially ones that feel a little bit special

‘I love them because they’re gluten free. Keeps the coeliac child happy,’ one parent said.

The return of Jelli Pop taps into a broader trend in Aldi’s food section, where limited-time snacks and nostalgic treats regularly spark hype well beyond their price point.

With cost-of-living pressures still front of mind, shoppers are increasingly drawn to affordable indulgences – especially ones that feel a little bit special.

At just $5 a box, Jelli Pops sit squarely in that sweet spot: cheap enough to justify an impulse buy, but distinctive enough to feel like a treat.

As with most Aldi specials, shoppers have been warned not to wait too long.

If past behaviour is anything to go by, the freezer shelves won’t stay full for long.
