DL - what are your favourite ice cream flavours?

I've never heard of peppermint chocolate chip, only mint chocolate chip.

WTF is "peppermint chocolate chip?" "Rockmelon?" ¿Que?

"Bubblegum" is not an ice cream flavor. Oh sure they sell it, but they also sell Ranch dressing ice cream now. That's not a flavor people consider "ice cream" either so stop with this "bubblegum" nonsense. You sound like a 3 year-old.

OP, have you heard of chocolate? Some of us aren't quite so try-hard.

Peppermint stick ice cream with a very good chocolate sauce.

Dulce de leche

Mint chocolate chip

Cookies and cream

Strawberry ice cream

Ben and Jerry’s brownie fudge

Vanilla with caramel sauce

Cookie dough and cookies and cream.

Maple walnut if I can find it.

Chocolate chocolate chip

Butter Pecan & Chocolate Pecan from Handel's

Ok...boring, but vanilla. I like raspberry, blueberry, creme fraiche (fancy vanilla), butter pecan, coffee and chocolate. I buy two flavors in a dish and vanilla is always the base, with one of the other flavors. Milk shakes...vanilla mixed with another favorite.

Vanilla's not boring. It probably is the best flavor.

Green tea, banana (with chocolate sauce, also my mother' favorite) and, most of all, homemade vanilla (sometimes with bits of strawberry, blackberry, or peach) I used to be given at family farmers' houses.

Because homemade is the best. They'd make it with cream from their cows, eggs from their chickens and fruit from their gardens and orchards. Like a kid's paradise and we'd all hand-crank it in those tall, old ice cream makers made like barrels.

Ben & Jerry’s “Everything But The… “

Ben & Jerry’s “Phish Food”

Thanks, Ina.

Vanilla always, huckleberry in Idaho, black raspberry and maple walnut for sentimental reasons and to keep them in circulation.

I can't eat ice cream ☹️. but when I have (and it made me really sick), I like strawberry.

Mint Chocolate Chip Coffee Chip

Coconut with hot fudge or mint chocolate chip with the same topping

Anything with coffee. Even as a kid, when we went to Baskin Robbins I headed for the Jamoca Almond Fudge.

Banana, with no stupid extra shit in it (looking at you Chunky Monkey)

Ben and Jerry's vegan Cherry Garcia, Tofutti Better Pecan.

Imagine being so bitchy about someone else's choice in ice cream (about 10 responses above). OP, your choices made me think you are an elder who is remembering going to Howard Johnson's; I remember those flavors there especially.

[quote] Banana, with no stupid extra shit in it (looking at you Chunky Monkey)

Chunky Monkey just has chunks of fudge (chocolate) and walnuts, in addition to the banana. I don't see how unadultered banana is so much better.

Vanilla, and Salted Caramel.

ben and jerry's is wayyyy too sweet.

I did a side-by-side taste (long time ago) of:

Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia

Häagen-Dazs Cherry vanilla

The Ben & Jerry's was sweeter. Häagen Dazs was better but I did miss the dark chocolate chips that the B&J had.

Moose Tracks

The Holy Trinity: three scoops in one dish: banana, dulce de leche, and mandarin chocolate from Freddo in Buenos Aires.

Pralines and Cream. But Haagen-Dazs stopped making it in America. Lately, I've been liking Jeni's Gooey Butter Cake ice cream.

Among the basics, I like Haagen-Dazs Coffee and Butter Pecan. And Strawberry when I'm not feeling well.

I like Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey. A pint is not hard to eat..lol.

I love to lap it up

Chocolate Chip Mint is my favorite. That's what the ice cream was called in my neck of the woods when I was growing up.

Cincinnati area Graeter's makes an incredible peach ice cream, but it is only available in the summer. I am already looking for it.

Graeter's has a black raspberry chocolate chip ice cream. It is their most well-known flavor. I usually eat up the entire pint in one sitting.

Winter White Chocolate from Baskin Robbins. Thank GAWD they only have it in December.

Chocolate Chip - no mint, just vanilla ice cream. It was one of the first 'variation' ice creams and almost impossible to find now that complicated flavors took over.

Two days ago, I ate a 14-oz. container (used to be a pint) of Häagen-Dazs vanilla Swiss almond. It wasn't as good as I remembered.

I do have a Baskin-Robbins near my house. I don't really like any of their flavors, but the pistachio is pretty good. The weird thing is that I think it's the toasted almonds (rather than pistachios) that make it good.

Baskin-Robbins' and Thrifty's Peanut Butter & Chocolate

Thrifty's Chocolate Malted Crunch

Ben & Jerry's Vanilla Caramel Fudge

Talenti Sea Salt Caramel, Mediterranean Mint, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup gelato flavors

I love Blue Bell's Peppermint Candy Cane ice cream which is only available at Christmas.

Unfortunately, I type fatter, R36. Love your choices.

Fiori di Merda

I join the ranks of Peppermint Candy Crush ice cream November, December and January. I remember going out to fancy restaurants in the 60s and 70s and always enjoyed a scoop in a frilled stainless steel cup for desert. A nostalgic joy.

Cherry Garcia, but I’m not sure it’s either the flavors or the ingredients that does it for me. There’s something about getting to the next chunk of chocolate or cherry that keeps me digging into it. I almost never buy it because I know I can’t eat a reasonable portion and I don’t even like it that much!

Who remembers Baskin-Robbins daiquiri ice? It was a light green sherbet or sorbet, very tart and lime-flavored. I liked it, even as a kid.

When I was young, my neighbor's mom took us out for lunch to a fancy restaurant and they served us something like daiquiri ice as a palate cleanser between courses.

Another fat-typing lover of Ben & Jerry’s “Phish Food.”

Frenc vanilla. Cinnamon, caramel, basically anything off-white.

This is the very best chocolate ice cream I have ever had, bar none. When I'm done with a bowl of it, it's so rich, it's all I can do to not lick the bottom of the bowl.

Another vote for French Vanilla. I agree vanilla is the best flavor. If a place can’t do vanilla right, they can’t do anything right.

I love summer flavors as well: peach, strawberry or mango. Lemon Custard with pie crust bits. They hit the spot at a barbecue.

Brigham’s Frozen Pudding. Candied fruits in rum-flavored vanilla ice cream. No nuts, just raisins, cherries, pineapple, peaches, etc and rum, rum, rum. Now, thankfully, available for the holidays only.

Hagen Daz, strawberry.

[quote] Daiquiri ice fan here, R42

Thanks for bringing back the memory of Brigham's, R48. Always liked going there when I was at university in Boston.

There was also another old-fashioned chain that had racks of "soiled glasses" off to the side. I don't remember the name of it but there was one in Coolidge Corner.

Peanut Butter and Chocolate.

Ginger.

I first had bubblegum ice cream in the 80s. How is it not real? Haha!

Grape is my favorite!

R45 Senior Lesbian because of you I ran out and bought the Trinity ice cream which was delicious 😋

I should have paired it with raspberries which I think would complement the bitter sweet chocolate very well.

My favorite is Coffee ice cream; IMO, Häagen-Dazs does it best.

If it's unavailable, Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia will do.

Earlier today, though, I had a bad experience. I had a container of coffee ice cream bought at Walmart, and when I opened it, I discovered that it had been melted and re-frozen, leaving it sunken and hardened, with a total loss of creamy texture. Some bastard at the store had evidently taken it out of the freezer, changed his mind, and set it down somewhere else in the store, where associates later found it and stuck it back in the freezer for sale. :(

I haven't had a pina colada in decades, but I had a pina colada milkshake for the first time last week, and it was amazing.

Bananas Foster, Coolhaus

Rum Raisin

I prefer orange sherbet. So refreshing.

I don’t discriminate.

Bourbon.

Vanilla, green tea.

I like orange sorbet as well.

...and the daiquiri flavoured ice cream or sorbet at Baskin Robbins was great.

Another vote for chocolate chip mint. Didn't realize it had so many fans.

Banana, Black cherry, peppermint, whiskey praline, & butter pecan.
