A popular Australian ice cream range has quietly disappeared from shelves at Coles and Woolworths, leaving shoppers with fewer places to get their hands on the iconic dessert.
Sara Lee’s one-litre ice cream tubs were delisted from Coles last month, about two years after Woolworths stopped stocking the range.
It is understood Coles made the decision following a routine review of its ice cream range, taking into account customer preferences and shopping habits.

The move means neither of Australia’s two biggest supermarket chains now stocks the five-flavour range.
However, Sara Lee fans can still find the ice cream at IGA and independent retailers, while the brand’s other frozen desserts remain available at major supermarkets.
Sara Lee has been a familiar name in Australian households for more than five decades.
Established in Lisarow on the NSW Central Coast in 1971, the brand is best known for its cheesecakes, pies, crumbles and other frozen desserts.
Despite the disappearance of Sara Lee’s tubs from major supermarket shelves, Australians still have plenty of ice cream brands to choose from.
According to Canstar’s 2026 Most Satisfied Customers Awards, vanilla remains the nation’s favourite ice cream flavour, with 27 per cent of respondents naming it their top pick.
Chocolate, cookies and cream, caramel and mint chocolate chip rounded out the top five.
Cadbury topped the customer satisfaction ratings for ice cream tubs, ahead of brands including Bulla, Connoisseur and Blue Ribbon.
Meanwhile, ALDI’s Monarc Crowns was the highest-rated ice cream multipack range.
