OMG best ice cream flavour in the world.
Got thoroughly addicted to it while temporarily living in Oz. Severely miss it now that am back in Canada. Doing my best to replicate it at home.
Purchased in June 2021 at Woolworths.

The best Icecream ever
I've al ways loved Norgen Vaz but last weekend it got rolled when I bought a waffle cone with one scoop of this ice cream in Barwon Heads - $5. I've never tasted a better ice cream. Now to see what it's like from a 500ml container.
Purchased in February 2021 for A$5.00.

I love that is just about the only icecream on the market that doesn't use palm oil. Thank you for being real! I love this ice cream. If I'm not eating it direct out of the tub, I highly recommend a scoop in a glass with a shot of KI Spirits 'Honey and Walnut' liqueur over the top. It's absolutely delicious. Next time I might even try it with a shot of espresso for a "Maggie Affogato" :-) Get on it.....its amazing.

Amazing combination of flavours! Ignore the naysayers!
The bad reviews here are completely bonkers. Imagine complaining about the taste of burnt figs? It literally says that on the label! This ice cream is absolutely glorious. Very high quality and a very sophisticated flavour. Crunching on a piece of honeycomb within a swirl of burnt fig is magic. Do yourself a favour and try it when it’s on special because yes, it’s exxy. Ignore the babies in here. Maggie Beer’s good name shouldn’t be tarnished by people who should stick to an icy pole instead.
Purchased at Woolworths.

Salted Honey and Roasted Almond
Very very salty and Soft Almonds. Didn't like it at all. The bottom and top was full of salt. Left a bad salty taste in my mouth and gave me heartburn.

Gross
Tastes burnt and disgusting.
Decided to give the brand a second chance and purchased the salted honey and almond. Wat too much salt!! Tasted just as horrible as the fig one. This is coming from a person who absolutely loves icecream so it’s really hard to get me to dislike it this much.

Heaven in a tub!
Don’t know what the other people are complaining about! They do not know quality food when they have tasted it! This has the indulgence of burnt fig swirled through out with pocket explosions of caramel entwined through honey comb ice cream. This is heaven in a tub! A bit pricey but it is better quality than any other ice cream out there. Even better though when it’s on sale. Cannot stop at one tub. Like Maggie Beer said, “It’s an ice cream for grown ups”.

Yuck
Well you can’t say it’s false advertising. It literally tastes like burnt figs (not to be confused with caramelised figs). VERY bitter. Waste of money. Had a few spoonfuls and tossed it out.

Very sweet and overpriced
For the sake of a fair disclosure, I don't consume sugar at all.
The combination of flavours is nice, however a little bit too sweet for me. The burnt fig was definitely a novelty for my tongue.
Now, the price I believe is completely blown out of proportion. With a 500ml tube priced at $8 or higher if you are buying it in gourmet stores, this is completely not worth the indulgence. There is a fierce ice cream competition in Australia and it is always possible to get a good ice cream for much cheaper. When I purchased it it was 50% off. Bu...Read more

False advertising
I bought a pack which stated the pack contained x6 Ice Creams 300ml I've attached the pic which implies the pack contained x6 300ml ice creams at $9.00 per pack, I considered it a bargain. However when I got home and opened the pack I got x6 Ice Creams 50ml each which is what should have been written on the outside of the box not just on the icream wrapper. It was misleading advertising and an utter waste of my money.

This is one of the most "Disgusting" ice creams i have ever had..
The worst... Paid extra for something of a difference.. Burnt to point of bitterness, could not get rid of taste.. Very very disappionting.. Not game now to try other flavours.. Cheers..

Cult status
I absolutely love Maggie Beer's Burnt Fig, Honeycomb and Caramel ice-cream to the extent that I avoid going down the ice-cream aisle at the supermarket in case I hear it calling my name. If I do hear the call, the end result is me, in a chair with a 500ml tub in one hand and a spoon in the other, and no turning back. It's that good. What I like most about it is the contrast between the bitterness of the caramel and the sweetness of the honeycomb. I search for those swirls of bitter caramel with all the focus of a truffle-hunting pig.

Dreadful flavour
It is extremely expensive, first and foremost. I must point that out.
Now, I'm not one of them types who buys a four litre tub of home-brand cosmopolitan - I like high-end ice cream as much as the next guy. But this stuff is awful, it really is.
It tastes of burnt figs. What more do I need to say? Figs do not taste particularly good to begin with, and these figs are burnt. Burnt! What good is that? It really does taste like they accidentally burnt some figs and then decided to use them anyway. It's awful! I couldn't eat more than a spoonf...Read more
ul. It was a waste of $12 or whatever ridiculous price it was. Do you really want to eat burnt figs? You really do have to consider that before you buy it. Don't just assume like I did that if it's been made into expensive ice cream then it must automatically be delicious because this stuff... man, this stuff taught me a lot about trust and ice cream. It tasted like death and emptied my pockets1 comment

Best tasting ice cream ever
Was served this on a Qantas flight in business class and have to say wow! I'm now disappointed if they have other flavours instead. This is a perfect combination of burnt fig swirl and caramel. Very creamy and rich. I couldn't eat more than a small tub though. Very happy to have found this in my supermarket.
Great tasting treat

Sickeningly Sweet
The flavours in this ice cream clash, there is way too much going on..!
The ice cream has a sickly sweetness which is all I could taste, unfortunate as the title sounds delicious. I think the main problem is the combination of caramel and honey, both very sweet ingredients. I love figs, they're certainly my favourite fruit, however in this flavour ice cream the taste of the fig is completely lost.
Very overpriced.
Over priced and too sweet.

The best tasting ice cream ever.
I am not a great icecream lover....but after this was offered to me while at a friend's place, I am absolutely crazy about it. If I have it in the house it only lasts two nights at best. It is the most delicious ice cream ever. But I think you would need to be a fig lover which I am. The tiny pockets of smooth caramel isanother delicious surprise. Well done Maggie
Very different in taste. the burnt fig is amazing.
rather expensive.

I agree. My husband and I tatsed this and I can't describe how awful it was. I never thought I'd hate ice cream but I definitely hated this one.
