20 best ice creams
New and nostalgic treats to enjoy this weekend
The weather is set to be unseasonably warm this weekend, which is the perfect excuse to indulge in ice cream. A quick poll of the Stylist office reveals that the retro classics we enjoyed at the ice cream truck are still our favourites on a hot day - must be the heady combination of nostalgia, brain freezes, and sugary, creamy goodness.
So behold, our top 20 lollies, cones and tubs of ice cream indulgence. Obviously we'll have missed some frozen treats off our list - but what about you? Which ice cream do you reach for? Let us know @StylistMagazine or in the comments below and we'll add them to our list.

20 best ice creams: Calippo
On a hot, hot day, nothing hits the spot better than a Calippo, in classic orange. Thirst-quenching, syrupy sweetness and a dose of retro nostalgia in one pop-up tube - the only problem is the soggy paper top of the packet...

20 best ice creams: Ben & Jerry's Core Dough-ble Whammy
Ice cream aficionados may have sampled the Ben & Jerry's Core Sundaes in Cinemas - it's basically two different types of ice cream swirled with a huge dollop of American-style fudge, chocolate and whipped cream. The (slightly) less sickly and more affordable Core tubs are epic - we sat and ate a whole batch in the Stylist office this afternoon and felt very sick, but so so happy. The Dough-ble Whammy is our favourite.

20 best ice creams: Joe Delucci's Cherries and Custard
Bringing incredible Italian Gelato to the masses, Joe Delucci's have outposts across the country. Sold by weight in Italy, apparently they are "the heaviest Gelato's around" meaning more ice cream for your buck. The Cherries and Custard flavour is delightfully British and reminds us a bit of trifle.

20 best ice creams: Simply Ice Cream Honeycomb Crunch
We like this ice cream for many reasons - because it's made the old-fashioned way, and started out as a popular dessert in young Mum Sally Newall's catering company. But we mainly like it because it tastes like the melted middle of a Crunchie bar.

20 best ice cream: Neapolitan
You may turn your nose up at the humble neapolitan, but nothing reminds us of a childhood treat more than this rainbow stripe of flavours. Much better than a Vienetta at parties, and easier to share with a friend. Hands up who used to eat the chocolate first, then the strawberry, and left the vanilla till last?
