The £19.99 item went on sale in stores on Thursday, July 22, just in time for the weekend, reports BirminghamLive.

Lidl teased the news on their social media platforms, writing: "There's an ice cream maker in the Middle of Lidl tomorrow, pass it on."

The product makes over a litre of the good stuff and comes with six recipes, including vegan options.

According to Lidl, preparation time is just 40 minutes too so it won't take up too much of your time.

One person said: "Might be tempted, but will still buy the Pretty Peanut Butter ice cream while I'm there!"

Another said: "I need this!!".
