Ice Creams are not my favorite and they are not dwarfs. It really depends on what flavor and texture you like. Ice Creams are dry and cakey but have a nice sweet favor. I tend to like the more acidic tasting bananas like Apples. There are some very tasty dwarf ladyfinger types like Dwarf Brazilians, and Namwas, and there are very sweet varieties like Dwarf Jamaicans that have a very light sweet flavor and a nice perfume like fragrance. Pitangadiego has grown and tasted a lot of varieties so he would really be the one to ask. I would recommend visiting his website or the bananas.org website for more info.

I was looking into getting a banana and trying to do research to see which one was the best and most amazing in terms of flavor. From various reviews and different expert's opinions who had tried many varieties, I decided on Mysore. Well, actually 'pisang Ceylon' which is supposed to be an improvement over Mysore. Mysore is a variety that can get to be well over 20ft tall though which probably explains why most tropical specialty nurseries do not carry it. Several other varieties are supposed to be very good too: Goldfinger, Namwah, and 'Ice Cream'. Everyone's tastes and preferences seem to be a little different to some extent (in some cases what may be an excellent tasting variety for one person may just taste okay to someone else). Manzano is also supposed to be good, and Raja Puri isn't bad either. Someone mentioned pisang susu is supposed to be among the best, but is really hard to find.

Pisang Ceylon, Apple, Namwa are all fantastic out of my eleven varieties.

Many Ice cream bananas if they are tissue culture plants turn out to be Namwah , Look at the ribs on the leafs if they have some pink that would be a good guess ... If that is the case be happy , the Ice cream banana is not all its made out to be.
