Britons are racing to their local store as some claim they 'need' Tesco's latest addition

Tesco's new frosting flavours have sparked excitement across social media platforms this week, with shoppers itching to sample the supermarket's Strawberries & Cream and Pistachio varieties.

A post by the food blog Newfoodsuk announcing the new products has garnered plenty of attention, generating hundreds of enthusiastic likes and comments.


"Omg, I'm off to Tesco!" wrote one excited customer. Others expressed their desire with comments like "I need" and "Ooh".

Some made plans to snap up the new products on their next trip to the supermarket. As one wrote, "I guess I know what I'm getting next week", another stated that they "might have a look tomorrow".

The new frostings have inspired baking ideas, with one commenter suggesting they "would be nice on chocolate cupcakes".

But many humorously revealed they won't be using the frosting for its intended purpose.

While the frosting descriptions read "Perfect for topping and filling your favourite bakes", some admitted that cakes and cookies will not be necessary for consumption.

"Definitely wouldn't be used as frosting, just pass a spoon," commented one sweet-toothed shopper.

Others had similar ideas, with comments including, "Just need a spoon for that" and "Get me a ladle now".

One social media user was enthusiastic about one flavour in particular. They said on Facebook: "The pistachio one won't even be on the cake - I'll be spooning it into my mouth instead."

As the Dubai chocolate craze continues to sweep the nation, supermarkets are keen to provide more pistachio-based products.

Marks & Spencer recently launched an "extra special" twist on the viral confectionery, with shoppers calling the new bar "amazing".

The two new flavours join a generous lineup of frostings available at Tesco.

Shoppers can snap up classic chocolate or an array of vanilla flavours, including blue and pink varieties, and Tesco Finest Madagascan Vanilla.
