Licorice flavoured

Mine MUST have jimmies on it (sprinkles to those of you outside of New England). And, of course, real chocolate jimmies, Not the rainbow colored ones. So, I choose my ice cream based upon what the jimmies will taste good with

Chocolate salted caramel on a sugar cone.

I like almost every kind of ice cream but especially like a good vanilla ice cream that is just a little soft/melted. Of course hot fudge and other toppings would not be refused.

My favorite is my own lemon cream ice cream with fresh lemon juice and zest, and a bit of good vanilla. I like to serve it with cracked lemon drops (candy) and a short bread cookie. It's also so good as a sandwich between two triple ginger cookies.

The big favorite of guests is homemade peach ice cream, only made during peach season. Yummy with a tablespoon of peach brandy.

Sorbets and granitas are my favorites. Apricot sorbet in season is heavenly. For ice cream we have the Tin Pot Creamery which is TDF. I love their chocolate and their coffee with cocoa nib toffee.

I like my ice cream in a small, house made waffle cone, otherwise a sugar cone will do. If in a bowl, please have one of those crispy fan cookies or a tuile with it. No toppings.

Not a huge ice cream person but do find Baskin Robbins' Pralines and Cream hard to resist. I also actually like McD's soft vanilla ice cream.

The best ice cream I ever had was at Cooks Dairy when we lived in Michigan. It was in fact a local dairy and the parking lot was bordered on one side by pasture. Often cows watched as I ate my favorite flavor 'Moose Tracks'. That flavor anywhere else doesn't begin to compare.

These days I am most likely to order a Turtle Pecan Cluster Blizzard at Dairy Queen to satisfy my Ice cream needs. DH is a big ice cream consumer at home. I rarely eat it at home.

I love ice cream and have several favorites, the only ice cream dishes I don’t care for are those that involve whipping cream and/or cake.

If I see it at an ice cream shop, licorice is my favorite. One of our artisan ice cream companies made the best black licorice ice cream that I could find once in a while. Then, last year, I found it but it wasn't black, they'd kept the flavor, but skipped the black coloring. (probably a cancer causer or something, I'd guess). Well, the black apparently is what I enjoy about it, in addition to the flavor; it wasn't as good. I never buy or eat licorice candy, but remember eating licorice ice cream from my childhood so it's probably nostalgic for me.

Second favorite would be something with a lot of caramel swirled in, toffee chunks a bonus. No nuts, ever.

Igmd, you are so right!!! we live a few miles from the Cooks Farm and I have to agree, it is one of the best.

I've been enjoying Blue Bunny little cones. They taste good and are so convenient when you want to control portion size.

In recent months, it was been Blue Bell Buttered Pecan, but just lately, Black Walnut. I don't like sprinkles or syrup or anything on it, although I have contemplated maybe a root beer float with the black walnut.

Costco Premium Vanilla

Lukki Irish...wow! So Cooks is still there. It has been 21 years since we moved. Hope to make a trip back to MI to visit next summer. A trip to Cooks will be in the plans.

Lars, we love Trader Joe's Coffee Bean Blast too. Recently discovered their coconut whipped topping. Adds a nice touch to a bowl of ice cream or hot chocolate.

Chocolate and Butter Pecan

those are 2 of my favorites. and orange sherbet. or vanilla with peaches.

can't find a brand I really like in my area. what I used to buy is no longer available around here. I did see Tillamook ice cream somewhere and might try that brand. that's the brand of cheese I usually buy. lately I've been buying HD - they have both chocolate and butter pecan.

Haha - easier to say what kind I DON'T like, which would be mint chocolate chip - & any other ice cream full of hard waxy chunks - and any of the cheap artificially flavored stuff.

I have only recently got hooked on Chapman's Black Cherry which has huge chunks of black cherry in a wonderful creamy ice cream. Love it!

I don't frequently eat ice cream. But when I do, my #1 favorite flavor is Cherry Vanilla. Very simple, vanilla ice cream with maraschino cherries. It's getting hard to find.

Baskin-Robbins used to make it but no longer does. Carnation Ice Cream, sold in Thrifty's Drugs stores now owned by Rite-Aid, also used to sell it. An acceptable substitute is Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia, it's cherry vanilla with chocolate chunks.

Second to last place on my list are vanilla, chocolate, or some combination of one or both.

Last on the list - every other flavor.

Edit to add - I see the contribution just above this one, at about the same time. For me, the flavors of Black Cherry or Burgundy Cherry don't make it.

Elmer, I was surprised to find cherry vanilla in Italy. It's not one of my favorites, but I agree that it's not common here, and so I wanted to try it. I don't associate cherries with Italy.

I frequently put various liqueurs on my ice cream, generally nut flavors such as walnut (Noce), pecan (praline), almond (Amaretto), hazelnut (Frangelico), etc, and I also add liqueur to ice cream that I am making instead of vanilla, unless I am making vanilla. I have an ice cream maker with a compressor, and so I do not have to wait for a bowl to freeze. I pretty much only make it when I am having parties, and I haven't had one lately.

Yup, it sure is and it’s usually pretty busy. They have a website now with pictures of the farm , I bet it hasn’t changed much since you were last there.

Yes lars, I've had it in Europe too a few times but i don't remember where. Flavors there seem to be more traditional and less varied so maybe that's part of it? A flavor that's so popular there and so on the fringe of popularity here is pistachio.

I did a search (always dangerous) and found that maraschino cherries (a name I always thought to be Italian) originated from Croatia. Much of the Eastern shore of the Adriatic was part of the Venice Republic for centuries, and influenced by it thereafter (and vice versa), so I think that's the connection.

I like any and all ice cream! The most delicious I have had were in Europe, especially one flavor that was, if I'm remembering correctly, mulberry. Very fruity, very fresh.

My mom always said we have an ice cream gene. It definitely should have chocolate ice cream. I like nuts , hot fudge but want them in it not just on top. My altime favorite is Baskin Robbins Jamocha Almond Fudge. I like chocolate and butter pecan together , or their World Class Chocolate.

I enjoy cheesecake but haven't appreciated it in ice cream..and no cookie dough in my ice cream thanks.

I adore ice cream! My favorite? Ginger ice cream (chunks of candied ginger in it) from Scoops on Martha's Vineyard. Second favorite is Graeter's Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip (really chunks of chocolate, not chips at all). Yummy!

Chick fil a's vanilla ice cream tastes like home churned.

I am with Moni I love Braums and that same cappuccino ice cream. My other favorite is no longer available it's Starbucks Java chip. I am not a big ice cream fan. I do occasionally have a soft serve at the Mexican restaurant.

I'm a big ice cream fan. My favorite is a seasonal Ben and Jerry flavor that you can only buy at Target. It's chocolate with marshmallow swirl and a salted pretzel swirl (my favorite part). I look forward to it every summer.

Dchall's response reminds me that I've been wanting to try Limoncello on top of vanilla ice cream. And Anglophilia, I'm on the hunt now for ginger ice cream near me. I love ginger.

Back in the day, Hood made one of my favorites called reverse chocolate chip....it was chocolate ice cream with white chocolate chips...I can only get that now with mix-ins.

You do know that white chocolate really isn't chocolate - because it has no "chocolate" solids. It also doesn't taste like chocolate.

If you like the flavor of chocolate, you might better like chocolate ice cream with real chocolate chips in it.

What was the point of that comment? So what if it's not technically chocolate? Reminds me of the milk/beef controversy. Seems to simply be a point of argument for some.

"Pastry chef and cookbook author David Lebovitz, an avowed white chocolate fan, disputes the idea that it's not really chocolate. "Bickering over the nomenclature becomes tiring," he said in an email. "We still call hamburgers by that name, even though they are not made of ham, and milkshakes actually aren't shaken these days, but blended. So I think it's okay to group white chocolate in with the rest of the variety of things made from cacao beans, since they all have the same base."

Elmer, you are the ultimate buzz kill. I just can't help but luv you.

Just a public service announcement. If you like chocolate, you should eat it.

For most people, ice cream is primarily about flavor, not appearance. For kids, confetti ice cream or other multicolor types are fun. They'll know better when they're older.

No, white chocolate isn't chocolate. But it is really good! And i think it goes well with anything that IS "real" chocolate. This from a certified, bonified, verified chocolate snob. That is, someone who is VERY picky about what goes with my chocolate. I hear there is a pink chocolate, which i was VERY excited about, until it was described as "berry flavored." I don't like fruit flavors with chocolate. I wanted some chocolate ice cream SO BAD today. (Thanks OP :op) But i am being good so i bought some Slim fast Keto Brownie batter shake mix instead. I am SO proud of myself, I think i deserve a chocolate fudge brownie sundae as a reward!

My favorite is butter pecan, followed by French vanilla. We have a great mom and pop ice cream place in town, but sadly they are closing. I might need to check out Baskin Robbins since I haven't been there in a long time.

I have a trio+ of favorites, and can't name just one as tops: peach, real vanilla, and coffee (or coffee combos, like French silk or the "Viennese Torte" that Baskin-Robbins used to have). Generally I would say that I don't like ice cream with nuts, but I do like Private Selection Honey Pistachio. Occasionally I want chocolate chip, but that is as much chocolate as I ever want. No toppings for me, please. I do like ice cream cakes - frozen cake w/ ice cream layers instead of frosting; but that is a rare thing. Otherwise I like my ice cream just plain.

Elmer, was it Thrifty Drugs that used to advertise with the slogan "Such good ice cream" ? Funny that I remember that. I haven't seen Carnation ice cream in decades. Borden dairy products have recently reappeared, but I haven't seen any Borden ice cream.

I love Talenti Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip. Expensive, but oh so good. I usually wait for a sale. Haagen Dasz Rum Raisin, ditto. HEB store brand Creamy Creations Butter Pecan and Java Chocolate Chip, delicious. And Dreyer's Mocha Almond Fudge is really good, but hard to find. We used to buy a Marzipan ice cream in Germany, it was vanilla with Marzipan and chocolate swirls. Wish it was available here, it was drool worthy if you like marzipan.

elmer, I am quite aware of the difference between chocolates including white chocolate. It doesn't stop me from liking the combo of chocolate ice cream with white chocolate chips.

I was totally addicted to Talenti Stracciatella gelato last year, but they've stopped making it. I don't know whether to be sad or relieved. I have a local gelato place, but I don't think their version is nearly as tasty as the Talenti brand.

Last time I went to Walmart I saw that they have a seasonal eggnog ice cream. Very tempting.

Anyone a fan of ice cream bars or ice cream cake? I haven't had ice cream cake for a really LONG time but I remember having it at a party years ago and it was very good. Can't remember what kind it was though. I get a taste for ice cream bars every so often too. Also, has anyone ever had rolled ice cream? I didn't even know this was a thing until recently.

Amylou, I do hope you'll try "pink chocolate" for yourself. I had some "Ruby" brand bars last spring and they were delicious. Slightly fruity but definitely chocolate, is how the taste struck me.

Perennialfan, I had rolled ice cream once at a local shop. It was fun watching it be made but for me it's a novelty thing, not worth going out of my way for. For your other question, ice cream bars are good for convenience, either portable or portion-control -- but given a choice I'd take ice cream in a bowl.

Mitchell's Caramel Sea Salt. Tastes like burnt sugar, all other caramel ice creams pale in comparison.

I remember It's It ice cream sandwiches in San Francisco, and they were sort of convenient to eat - a bit messier than an ice cream cone, but at least they were portable. They are also readily available in Los Angeles in grocery stores as well as some stores on the East Coast. I like ice cream sandwiches better than ice cream cake, which I associate with Baskin Robbins. Frozen cake is not as good as frozen oatmeal cookies.

I love coffee ice cream, but I can't take the caffeine in the afternoon and evening. So I guess the next best is lemon custard. I also loved peach ice cream that we could buy from Sealtest every summer. I do not like anything added to the ice cream such as candy crumbles or graham cracker.

Sealtest - another name brand long gone from this area. Is it still around somewhere?

Seasonal: pumpkin anything, cinnamon, peppermint

year round; cherry vanilla, with Bing cherries, coffee with some sort of chocolate, chocolate raspberry, fruity gelato flavors

i don't like any nuts in my ice cream, and usually get in a cup, no fudge, sprinkles etc... just ice cream :) now will on occasion go for brownie chunks, i mean who am i to pass up brownies ?? ;)

Dolly Madison - another name brand long gone
