NFT: Favorite Brand of Ice Cream (throw in flavors, too)

Boy Cord : 1/17/2017 9:23 pm
My family and I discovered Three Twins (Petaluma, CA) while on vacation recently. This is truly a gift from sweet baby Jesus. I have only had their Madagascar Vanilla and Vanilla Bean and they have been exquisite. My only goal for 2017 is to try all of their flavors.

1/2 pint: Ben & Jerry's NY Superfudge Chunk

I can't eat just one Klondike classic

Oh for the days of a mello roll or orange/vanilla creamsicle at Jones Beach or Far Rockaway when I was a kid.

Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip. Try it sometime and thank me later.


My roommate in college was from Cincy and wouldn't shut up about Graeter's and skyline chili. He hyped it up to a point where I thought that couldn't meet the expectations. Skyline was woefully dissapointing but Graeters is the best ice cream I've had. Cookies and Cream.

Too bad that it's only in the Midwest.

try Phish Food. I'm pretty indifferent about Ben and Jerrys but Phish Food is the one that you overlook but tastes the best. I get the milkshake version at the kiosk in Penn Station.
Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Therapy.

I used to really love Dreyers (called Edy's on the east coast)  
Taggart : 1/17/2017 11:00 pm : link
As a basic go to ice cream to keep stocked in the freezer. But then they kept tweaking the formula, presumably to stretch out the product (i.e. Stealth inflation). Its now less creamy, more gummy, and they pump way more air into it such that it really has become inedible in my mind. Assholes ruined a great product.
I was 16. First job at a grocery store.

Got my first paycheck. Brought home a half gallon of Dad's favorite for him. I think it cost $2.25 for that mint chocolate chip. Best ice cream I've ever tasted. To this day.

There is this place by me. I think it is called Killwin's.

Unless you've tried Ample Hills Creamery out of Brooklyn, the flavor, Salted Crack Caramel. There is nothing that compares.

Breyers Vanilla.

Oh and FYI...If you're out east on Long Island, the pistachio cherry at McNulty's in Miller Place is my favorite ice cream of all time.

Talenti's Southern Butter Pecan is pretty swell; I do confess to being unable to curb binging on Breyer's Vanilla with the real specks of black vanilla beans

I'm not a huge sweets guy, but I enjoy a good ice cream now and then. What immediately comes to mind -

Stewart's Mint Cookie Crumble
Stewart's Chocolate Peanut Butter
Stewart's Black Raspberry
Kilwin's Salted Caramel
Turkey Hill Moose Tracks (Slow Churn)  
vette222184 : 1/18/2017 8:40 am : link
is good, and not nearly as bad for you as I would have expected. Edy's Slow Churned Chocolate Chip Mint is my go-to.
Breyers  
KWhite2250 : 1/18/2017 8:43 am : link
Vanilla for a national brand.

For homemade here in Rockville Center on Long Island is a place called Five Pennies that makes a Banana Pudding ice cream that is the best flavor ever

pjcas18 : 1/18/2017 10:31 am : link
when I do eat it, usually in the summer at a beach location when we take the kids, my favorite flavor is mocha chip and it comes from an ice cream shop, blindfolded I couldn't tell Ben and Jerry's from store bought brand.

however my wife a couple years ago bought this girl scout cookie thin mint ice cream and it's great.

We only had the thin mint not the other two

Yes, Hillside Farms is fantastic. Being that you are from the area, if you ever get down to Nescopek, there was a great place called Cruzer's. I'm not sure if they are still there, but the owners had attended the Penn State classes on ice cream making and made their own small batch varieties. They would only make a half a dozen varieties for each day. The ice cream would be set in stainless steel pans, and when it was gone that was it. A bit more expensive per scoop, but their product was amazing.

Ample Hills is outstanding. Quickly became my favorite this past year.

Not retail, but I also love Mystic Drawbridge in Mystic, CT.
