Aldi recently unveiled several new offerings for 2025 and two standouts are the new Fudgy Cookie Dough Gelato and new Chocolate Peanut Butter Gelato.
Sold under the Sundae Shoppe brand, both of the new gelato products are made with whole milk, which delivers that signature light and creamy gelato texture. The Fudgy Cookie Dough Gelato features a rich cookie dough gelato base, which is then studded with crunchy chocolate bits and even more cookie dough pieces for added texture. On the other hand, the new Chocolate Peanut Butter Gelato boasts a chocolate gelato base with ribbons of peanut butter swirl throughout. Both of the gelato products contain no added sugar, but are instead sweetened with a mix of allulose, erythritol, and monk fruit extract.
