What’s the best ice cream?

[BasilZero]

My brothers.

Glad to know more persons who know about Creamy Creations around here. Here in North México (border with TX) we have HEB (San Antonio is around 2 hours from here), so we get this amazing ice-cream here.

Question. How much is it in the US? Here is around $6 USD half-gallon. A little bit more expensive than other brands, but totally worth it.

Always had Blue bell but ever since moving to my new home - H‑E‑B is literally half a mile from home - noticed they had their own ice cream and been a fan since lol

Pint is $1.73 and half a gallon is $4.68 in my area (one of the suburbs in the Houston area)

 

[WascallyWabbit]

Widely available I think like a chocolate chocolate chip is my favorite

But the local joints here in Denver got some good and unique flavors. Had chocolate babka the other day, so damn good

Thanks for the reply. I wanted to know if I was overpaying too much, but I guess the $1.30 USD extra I'm paying in import fees is worth it.

Tillamook is awesome as well.

 

[theusedversion]

Never even thought of that. Do you just put fat milk and sugar in it along with vanilla or another flavor and press a button? :)

Pretty much. You need a bag or two of ice and a box of rock salt/ice cream salt (to make it go below freezing) plus your recipe ingredients. It will be like soft serve ice cream out of the maker. It's so good. The best recipes have eggs in them.

I wish they would bring it back :(

 

[fontguy]

Mint chocolate chip.

 

[Lord Azrael]

Cookies 'n' cream

 

[Deleted member 6263]

Cookies and cream for an everyday kind of flavor. I'm sure there are better special flavors from individual creameries.

 

[Tom Nook]

Birthday Cake

and good old fashion Cookies n' Cream

 

[AaronMT]

Mint.

Although Tiger Tail during Halloween at Baskin Robbins is good.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

Butter Pecan is my jam.

 

[Dany]

Vanilla

 

[alekth]

I haven't had that in ages, but it's the only one I think of as wanting to taste again.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Vanilla.

 

[Plasma]

Rossi Ice Cream.

I love Japanese soft serve vanilla. I don't know why, but it seems creamier than in the US.

In lieu of that, Tillamook is king with this being my current favorite:

 

[DJ_Lae]

Chocolate chip mint and oreo are both fantastic.

What was even more fantastic was the two mixed together.

It's not made any more, unfortunately, though that didn't stop me from sending messages to the company to bring that little slice of heaven back.

 

[jstevenson]

Birthday Cake and Blackberries from Salt and Straw and fortunately it's currently the one month of the year where you can get it!

 

[jelly]

Raspberry Ripple.

 

[AlgusUnderdunk]

Rocky Road/Mint Chocolate Chip.

 

[Tailzo]

I think I have tasted something very much like that. It was lovely :)

 

[Grym]

Vanilla
Butter Pecan

 

[AstronaughtE]

Vanilla with chocolate syrup over it. Tastes like Friday night childhood.

 

[Chopchop]

That's oddly specific.

 

[Wyman Manderly]

Vanilla bean (or "homemade") + oreos + cookie dough

Yep. I firmly believe that your favourite pizza is the best pizza. But ice cream, there is 100% a right answer and this is it

It blew my mind. I'd never really thought about making a mint cookies & cream ice cream but it works so well.

 

[EssBeeVee]

Do you make your own ice cream?

My aunt does, just had some last week. Absolutely divine.

 

[divisionbyzorro]

I love this shit. Vanilla ice cream base with peanut butter cups and a swirl of fudge. It's everything I want in an ice cream.

 

[Yourfawthaaa]

Rocky Road

 

[meph]

Hazelnut gelato, black sesame soft serve, real vanilla.

 

[Van Bur3n]

Mint chocolate chip. You know what is is.

 

[The Smoking Man]

. . . Neapolitan

 

[Isilia]

I'm a plain dude. Vanilla with oreos or cheesecake. Even both!

If in bar form, Twix.

 

[Cream Stout]

more specifically green mint chip for me. not really a fan of the more peppermint type of mint chip ice cream

 

[Super Mega Man]

Soft serve serves its purpose and its cheap but it's the McDonalds of Ice Creams. Good for what it is but almost every other hamburger is better than McD.

As for favorite ice cream flavor? Gimme mint chocolate chip or cookies n' cream, I'm basic like that.

 

[the_bromo_tachi]

I used to be a simple man and only ate vanilla. Now, pistachio is the best. Especially love Uchi cafe's pistachio. But besides that, I really do miss having a large selection of ice cream flavors...Japan doesn't have much.

 

[hyouko]

Some of my favorites:

• Sweet Resurgam - burnt sugar almond flavor from Gelato Fiasco up in Portland, ME.
• B3 - brown butter brown sugar brownies. It's very good.
• Everything from these guys. Seriously, my family went 3 times during our trip to Italy; it was amazing. I can't remember the name of my favorite flavor, but it had a cookie in it.

I visited Tokyo 8 years ago. I never tasted ice cream there. And although you say they don't have much, what seems to be popular among ice cream flavors there?

 

[Deleted member 5491]

Strawberry, Banana, Rasperry

 

[mopinks]

I like licorice ice cream but it's damn near impossible to find

there's a place near my house that has it but they just put chunks of licorice in vanilla ice cream and that's cheating. the ice cream's gotta be black or it's not cool

 

[Superpupperbabysassy]

Mackinac island fudge ice cream. One of things I miss about Michigan

 

[Damaniel]

Tilamook is delicious as hell too.

Beyond that I'm a fan of anything vanilla bean esp anything that has specs of it.

Tillamook ice cream is even better if you go get it directly from the visitor center in Tillamook. They don't have to freeze it as hard as they have to in order to ship it to stores, so it never has a chance to get ice crystals, and the texture is perfect. I just went there on Monday - I had to wait an hour in line to get some, but it was worth it.
