‘Tastes just like a Solero in bun form,’ claims one Aldi customer, in response to a snap of a new product that’s hit the budget supermarket’s shelves.
The Specially Selected Passion Fruit Curd Buns are being hyped up as the latest ‘obsession’ for summer by the retailer.
Shoppers can now buy the tropical treat from Aldi in a pack of two for £1.79 (90p each) and they are exactly what you’d expect – iced buns filled with a tangy passion fruit-flavoured curd and topped with a vibrant yellow and white icing.
But if you aren’t a fruit fan, don’t worry as there’s also a new chocolate version of the baked good available too.
A closer look at the passionfruit buns was shared by New Foods UK on social media and food lovers have been going wild over them.
On Instagram, a user named @hannahwellington_ said: ‘These look unreal. Bet they taste like [a] passionfruit martini.’
While on Facebook Katie Toomey wrote: ‘If they are anything like the lemon ones they’ll be amazing.’
Janet Goff agreed, saying: ‘The lemon ones are scrum, so I bet these are too!’
Several people had also tried the new product already and had rave reviews to share, with @begum_bakes commenting: ‘Can confirm, these are banging.’
Similarly, @alicermercer posted: ‘I’ve tried these, they taste just like a Solero in bun form.’ And Kerry Murphy added: ‘They are absolutely delicious.’
The chocolate version hasn’t been quite as well received online though, with some branding them ‘awful’, ‘stale’ and ‘disappointing’.
If the buns aren’t for you, then you might want to head to rival supermarket Lidl instead.
That’s because the retailer recently re-launched its beloved Cheesecake Brownie which has been hailed ‘the best thing ever’ to come out of the shop.
The 89p treat is joined by a brand new addition to the in-store bakery, a Strawberry Cheesecake Doughnut.
It offers a ‘berry twist’ with its creamy, fruity icing atop soft, sugar-dusted dough, making it the perfect choice for those with sweet tooth. What’s more, it only costs 79p.
Both items are only available for a limited time at Lidl until May 28.
It’s not clear how long the new Aldi buns are available for, so you might want to make the most of them while you can.
