I just have to say that every time i get the chance, i will get a vanilla ice cream… not just vanilla… it has RAW COOKIE DOUGH IN IT!
It gets my Best Ice Cream flavour award.

Right now, my favorite ice cream is Coffee Almond Fudge. I award it “Best Boyfriend Substitute” (as the SO’s gone for the week for business).
Haagen Dazs Vanilla Swiss Almond is perfection.
Australian mango sorbet ice cream. Oddly enough, this is a Dutch chain of ice cream shops (I think there’s one in Selfridges in London too, though). It gets the Fruitiest Ice Cream Ever award.
And this thread is off to IMHO.
Can’t remember the brand name, but there is a range of ultra-de-lux ice-cream you can get in Australia (they sell it at the Gourmet Five Star supermarket in Crows Nest on Sydney’s North Shore) that is out of this world. In taste - and unfortunately also in price.
They have a liquorice flavour one which is a rather off-putting dull greenish colour - but omigod the flavour! It is like frozen liquorice creme brulee or something! I can’t wait to eat a tub of it when I next go down under.
Coldfire, if the Teeming Handful haven’t already declared you an honourary Aussie, I’m doing it now (because I really do have the power to do that). When are you emigrating?
On the OP, I can’t remember the brand name, but there’s a butterscotch and toffee icecream I buy at the local Safeway that’s pure heaven.
Well, thanks, but it’s really just the name. The Australian brand belongs to the Dutch/English Unilever group. They don’t appear to have a website, but a store manager of theirs told me there was nothing even remotely Australian about the place.
Still, I’d love to visit the Land Down Under some day.
Errrr, Unilever has a website of course, but the ice cream brand doesn’t. Just so we’re clear.
edy’s dreamery new york strawberry cheesecake.
mmmmm…
wins the “i can’t believe i didn’t suffer a heart attack from clogged arteries after eating a spoonful” award.
The one and only Cappuccino Commotion by Hagen Daas.
Baskin & Robbins’ Pink Bubble Gum.
Taste it again… for the very first time (just don’t swallow the gum like you did when you were a kid).
Right now, I’m big into Blue Bunny’s Bunny Tracks. In the words of their website:
Yes, folks, thick fudge ribbons that are so dark, they’re almost bitter. Peanut butter caramel ribbons. And as an extra-special added bonus, you get to chew up little peanut-butter filled chocolate bunnies.
There’s some still left in my freezer, surprisingly enough.
Hmm. Current one: From Russia with Buzz, Ben & Jerry’s. Yummy!
(Hint for those who like cookie dough ice cream: be VERY careful when using it in an ice cream float. Or, for laughs, request one from your local ice cream place. There’s something about when that carbonated drink hits the cookie dough that makes it… erm… well… not exactly explode, but it puts grade-school volcano experiments to shame!)
<< Foosh! >>
I’ll agree with the OP on the chocolate-chip cookie dough ice cream. Best. Ever.
Coming in at a close second is something called Monkey Business - I believe it is made by Ben & Jerry’s. Banana-flavored ice cream with chocolate-covered something-or-other (I want to say peanut butter, but it’s been a while since i had any) mixed in. Excellent stuff.
-Dirty
B & R Jamocha Almond Fudge…by the ton…
Hmm…since this turned into a “Your favorite Ice Cream” thread, I gotta cast my vote(s) for:
Ben & Jerry’s Phish Food: chocolate ice cream, marshmallow and caramel swirls and little fudge fish.
B&J’s Southern Pecan Pie: brown sugar ice cream with pecans, caramel, and chunks of pie crust (for when I can’t get my hands on a real slice of warm pecan pie with a scoop of vanilla [and it’s pronounced pe-khan’ not pee’-can ])
And just about anything that has toffee pieces in it.
Hands down, Ben & Jerrys “Everything But The…” is a gift from God!
check it…
Vanilla ice cream
white chocolate chunks
toffee chunks
milk chocolate chunks
peanut butter cups
peanuts
caramel swirl
Mmmmmmmmm, ice cream.
a vote for haagen dazs’ new taste of heaven: rocky road. it has been banned from the essvee household as it is too dangerous to have around (sniff).
I don’t know if it’s sold in pint anymore, as I can’t find it in my local stores, but my favorite flavor was/is Ben and Jerry’s Pulp Addiction. It’s one of their Totally Twisted flavors that combines Orange and Cream with Chocolate Liqueur to make an orange chocolate liqueur flavor. Out of this world!
Hokienautic, B&J doesn’t make Pulp Addiction anymore. I know this because it’s my roommate’s favorite ice cream, and she paid like a hundred dollars last year to have one of the last cases shipped out to us in California. I think she still has 2 or 3 pints left, and they’re probably the last or some of the last in existence.
As for me? I’m going to see your Sven&Larry’s Phish Food and Everything but the… and raise you Dreyer’s Dreamery Black Raspberry Avalanche. MMMMM. I don’t eat ice cream very often (my tummy does better with frozen yogurt), but I will eat half a pint of Black Raspberry Avalanche at one sitting.
Then I pay for it later.
