For an Easter food shop, choose a cone pack by the number and size of servings you need: the Tesco own-label pack in the checked listing contains four 110ml cones, while Cornetto Classico contains six 90ml cones. Check the exact flavour and allergen label for your guests, and keep sticks such as Magnum Classic separate from a cone comparison.
Who is shopping for?
Hosts planning individual desserts
If each guest is having a cone, start with the serving count. Tesco Groceries listed an own-label pack of four 110ml cones and Cornetto Classico as six 90ml cones; the larger pack contains more cones, but each is smaller.
Families choosing a familiar cone
Cornetto Classico offers six wafer cones with vanilla-flavour ice cream, chocolate-flavour coating and hazelnut pieces, according to Tesco Groceries. That particular combination may matter more to your group than choosing by portion size alone.
Shoppers checking dietary suitability
Choose the exact flavour and pack rather than relying on a brand name. Cornetto Classico lists milk, wheat and hazelnuts; check the pack's full ingredient and precautionary allergen statements before serving.
What should you check?
Set the serving plan first, then check format, ingredients and storage instructions for the packs that fit it.

What to check |
Your needs |
| Servings and volume |
Check both cone count and volume per cone. Tesco Groceries listed four 110ml own-label cones; its Cornetto Classico listing contained six 90ml cones. |
I'm serving several guests and want to know whether one pack provides enough individual desserts, as well as the portion size each person will get. |
| Serving format |
Confirm that the product is a cone rather than a stick or tub. Magnum Ice Cream describes Magnum Classic as six 100ml chocolate-coated ice cream sticks. |
If the Easter dessert plan calls for handheld wafer cones, a stick would change what I'm serving, even if the pack contains enough portions. |
| Ingredients and allergens |
Read the exact pack's ingredients and precautionary allergen statements. Cornetto Classico lists milk, wheat and hazelnuts; Magnum Ice Cream also advises checking labels each time. |
Someone in my group has a dietary requirement, so I need to check the product we will actually serve rather than assume another flavour or pack is equivalent. |
| Frozen storage |
Check the chosen pack's storage and thawing instructions. The Joybuy Cornetto Classico page specifies storage at −18°C or below and says not to refreeze once thawed. |
There needs to be freezer space when the cones arrive, especially if I'm buying Easter food ahead of serving it. |
Common shopping mistakes
-
Looking at the pack without counting the cones
Four 110ml cones and six 90ml cones serve different numbers of people. Tesco Groceries listed those configurations for an own-label pack and Cornetto Classico respectively.
Decide how many individual desserts you need, then compare the count and volume of packs that suit your guests.
-
Assuming a brand name settles allergen suitability
Cornetto Classico lists milk, wheat and hazelnuts, while allergen statements can differ between products and packs.
Read the ingredients and precautionary statements on the exact pack before purchase and again before serving.
-
Replacing cones with another ice cream format
Magnum Ice Cream describes Magnum Classic as a chocolate-coated stick, not a wafer cone. The serving plan changes if guests are expecting cones.
Check the product format alongside the portion count before adding it to the Easter shop.
-
Leaving frozen storage until delivery
The Joybuy Cornetto Classico page specifies storage at −18°C or below and says not to refreeze the product once thawed.
Make freezer space in advance and follow the instructions on the pack you receive.

Tesco
Tesco Groceries listed own-label cone multipacks, including a strawberry and vanilla pack of four 110ml cones.

- The six-cone configuration can serve a group needing six individual portions.
- Cornetto Classico lists milk, wheat and hazelnuts; check its complete pack label for your guests.
Magnum

Questions about choosing cones
Should I choose by cone count or portion size?
Check both against the number of people you plan to serve. Tesco Groceries listed four 110ml own-label cones and six 90ml Cornetto Classico cones, so the packs differ in both serving count and individual portion size.
Can Magnum Classic replace cones in the Easter shop?
Only if you are happy to serve sticks instead of cones. Magnum Ice Cream describes Magnum Classic as six 100ml chocolate-coated ice cream sticks; check the serving format before treating it as an alternative.
What if a guest has a food allergy?
Read the ingredient list and precautionary allergen statements on the exact pack you will serve. Cornetto Classico lists milk, wheat and hazelnuts, and a different flavour or pack should not be assumed to have the same label.
How should the cones be stored after delivery?
Follow the instructions on the pack you receive and have freezer space ready. The Joybuy Cornetto Classico product page specifies storage at −18°C or below and says not to refreeze once thawed.
