Gelatelli Choco Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich Review - Could This Be The Best Ice Cream Treat At Lidl?7/14/2025 Summer in Algarve is hot. And I mean really hot. FYI, unless you're staying at a holiday (vacation) rental, most homes and apartments in Portugal do not have air conditioning. Even in the Algarve. This makes ice cream basically a necessity for your health and well being. If you're going to survive summer in Algarve you need a steady supply of cold treats. We are working on trying every Ice Cream at Lidl and other Portuguese Grocery Stores so we can help you pick the very best treats to cool you down! |
Americans in Portugal will notice a difference in Nutrition Information on packaging in Europe. Typically there is always a column showing the nutritional information for 100 grams worth of the item. Sometimes there is a second column showing the nutrition facts for a single serving of the item next to it. I guess the idea is to make it easy to compare how nutritious two items are to one another - 100g of ice cream sandwich vs 100g of bbq chicken wings, for example. |
A closer look at the Chocolate Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich
Judging by the Choco Cookie box, this looks to be vanilla ice cream with some tiny chocolate chips sandwiched between two chocolate cookies with white chocolate chips.
Do you think the cookie photo on the box is an accurate representation of the ice cream sandwich in real life? Personally, I think in real life it looks even better than on the box and that's rare for advertising!
At the side view, you can see that this cookie ice cream sandwich has some nice heft to it! And sure enough, there are those little chocolate specks all around.
After taking a bite, I'd say they put forth special effort to ensure the outside has plenty of chocolate pieces whereas there are not nearly as many inside. Nevertheless, what did we think of these cookie ice cream sandwiches?
Is this the best ice cream sandwich in portugal?
I had relatively low expectations for these ice cream sandwiches only because novelty ice creams usually sound like a great idea, but after you eat them they are kind of ... meh.
Good cookies are hard to come by in Portugal (American style cookies), and I actually thought these frozen cookies were legitimately good. Idk if I will lose credibility for saying that, but I stand by it! :)
Stay cool!

After a leisurely stroll through Armacao de Pera with our parents, an ice cream cone seemed the perfect choice to end the outing on a sweet note.
We stopped in at N'ice Cream in Armacao de Pera. N'ice cream has several locations across central algarve including Albufeira, Portimao, and Armacao de Pera .
N'ice Cream Flavors
You'll find a combination of classic standbys like Chocolate, Coffee Ice Cream, and even Oreo Ice Cream.
N'ice cream has a lot of candy bar flavored ice creams too like Bounty, Snickers, After Eight and M&Ms.
Uniquely Portuguese Ice Cream Flavors
Figo c/ Amêndoa Gelado (Fig and Almond)
Dom Rodrigo Ice Cream (Egg Yarn and Almond)
Perna de Pau is an ice cream on a stick you can buy in grocery stores across Portugal featuring a pirate on the package with, you guessed it, a wooden leg. It's vanilla ice cream with stripes of strawberry 'jelly' and the outside is dipped in chocolate.

N'ice Cream Armacao de Pera
N'Ice Cream in Armação de Pêra is located at R. Sra. dos Navegantes 13, 8365-184 Armação de Pêra, Portugal
Armacao de Pera Beach Ice Cream
We opted for the very Portuguese (and very sweet!) Dom Rodrigo and Fig & Almond flavors in a waffle cone.
