The One That Everyone Reaches For First

Every gathering has that moment where someone brings out the food, and the room shifts. With a NIC ice cream tub on the table, that moment tends to arrive the second the lid comes off. Tubs are the format that simply makes sense for groups; it is easy to share, easy to serve, and easy to justify buying more than one of.

Why Tubs Are the Perfect Pick for Any Occasion

Ice cream tubs are a lovely reminder that the nicest things are even better when shared.

And every special occasion deserves something that feels special yet effortless. Whether it is a birthday party, movie night, catching up with friends, or just a random Tuesday that needs a treat, an ice cream tub fits right in without any prep or planning.

The size works well too. A 500ml tub is enough for a small family, and putting a few tubs on the table means everyone gets more choice, so nobody has to settle or share unless they want to. Ice cream tub flavours also last through the evening, unlike single servings that disappear quickly and leave people wanting more.

Beyond the Bowl: Fun Ways to Serve NIC Ice Cream Tubs

Sundae Bar: Set out a few NIC tubs with toppings like chopped nuts, chocolate sauce, sprinkles, and crushed biscuits, then let guests build their own. It takes just five minutes to set up, and it often ends up being the highlight of the evening every single time.

Ice Cream Sandwiches: Scoop a generous layer between two cookies, wafers, or biscuits, press gently, and freeze for an hour. NIC’s dense, creamy texture helps it hold its shape through the freeze and slice cleanly, with no watery or icy results after the second freeze.

Milkshake Twist: Blend one scoop with milk and whatever extras are in the kitchen, and you will have a thick, flavourful shake in about ninety seconds. It works especially well at the end of a party when the tub is nearly finished, and nobody wants to waste what is left.

Straight From the Tub: Sometimes the best serving suggestion is no serving suggestion at all. Put the spoons in, place the tub in the middle of the table, and let everyone help themselves. For casual hangouts, this is often the version people remember most fondly.

Best NIC Ice Cream Tub Flavours to Serve

Alphonso Mango Ice Cream is the crowd-pleaser that needs no introduction. It is fruity, rich, and almost always the first tub to empty at any gathering.

Belgian Chocolate Ice Cream is deep, premium cocoa that fits the chocolate lovers in any group without needing any convincing.

Cookies and Cream Ice Cream is the safest group order, but it still feels exciting. It works for every age and every occasion.\

Sea Salt Caramel Ice Cream is sweet, salty, and layered with crispy caramel pearls. It is the tub that starts conversations and finishes the fastest.

Velvety Nutella Ice Cream is hazelnut through and through, silky, and rich. It is the one everyone says they only want a little of, and then they go back for twice.

What Makes NIC Tubs Different — The Half-and-Half Design

NIC’s tub design starts with a simple promise: what you see is what you get. Cut the ice cream in half, and all you should find is the ingredient itself, with nothing extra hidden inside. The packaging reflects that idea too, showing half ingredients and half ice cream, so honesty becomes part of the visual design, not just a brand claim. Every tub makes it clear exactly what went in before the lid even comes off. This approach earned NIC the Best Packaging Design Award from Fox Glove in 2020, recognising that design integrity and ingredient transparency can work together without compromise.
