Mmm yes I also love that one
mint chip, for me
I had one with fresh minced mint + basil along with diced bittersweet chocolate & it went so beyond the average enjoyment of mint chocolate.
Tbh vanilla from a very specific small ice cream shop in Germany. I don't like vanilla from pretty much anywhere else, there are good flavours in other shops but when I'm visiting my parents I have to go there and get the vanilla. Maybe it's nostalgia but it's my favourite and I don't know what to do if they ever have to close.
Maybe they have really good vanilla. I think vanilla is underrated as a flavor in general, and making a good one requires really high quality ingredients because it's such a subtle flavor.
Which one is it? I was spoiled by Kaffeehus in GΓΆttingen. I usually take straciatella or chocolate but there it must be vanilla.
I might as well tell you where I live/my parents live, so I prefer not to say ^^ It's a fairly small village/town
lemon. always lemon. if i get more than 1 scoop, then salted caramel or something with chocolate (like bounty, snickers, oreo, crunchy, dark chocolate, etc)
Important question: sorbet or ice cream/gelato?
Iβm not picky about brand but my go to is Rainbow Sherbet (no fruit chunks) on a waffle cone. Itβs sweet, refreshing, and idk why but it doesnβt upset my stomach as much as other ice cream.
Stracciatella.
A good dark chocolate. Not milk chocolate, but dark dark chocolate.
Maple Walnut FTW
I used to be able to get Blackberry Merlot gelato years ago. I haven't had it in years, but miss it dearly
Love when gelato has a liquor or wine in it.
Grapefruit!
Oh nice! I'd love to try that, I like grapefruit!
Paw-Paw Ice Cream!
Jenny's Brambleberry
Pumpkin - local creamery is divine
Ben & Jerry's, Cherry Garcia.
Kiwi. Don't even know if they make kiwi flavoured ice cream anymore, as I haven't had any in decades.
Well I don't recall ever trying any, I'm intrigued
I very much recommend it if you manage to find some!
I remember it being entirely unique as far as ice cream goes. I even remember it having a bit of that characteristic spicy kick to it.
Edit: tried looking around the internet for any clues as to kiwi ice cream producers, but I mostly found recipes for home-made (which is not a bad idea, ngl!). All I can remember about it is that it wasn't pre-packaged - always got it served in scoops, on the spot. So, yeah... may actually be "extinct" :(
Mint chocolate chip, and being Texan blue bell is my drug of choice.
It's a fairly expensive treat, but Jenny's makes a dairy free pint that's coffee sorbet mixed with delightful coconut cream.
The coffee sorbet section is very bright and tangy, unlike any coffee gelato or ice cream I've ever had before. It juxtaposes really well with the creaminess of the coconut cream.
Usually I work on a pint over the course of weeks, having a few spoonfuls at a time. I demolished this within two days haha.
Store bought: Tillamook Chocolate Peanut Butter
Ice cream shop: Carlβs Frozen Custard in VA. Itβs pretty famous in the US. Easily the best frozen custard anywhere. Theyβre still using their old Electo-Freeze machines to make it. I get their chocolate vanilla swirl or strawberry. So smooth and creamy.
Crushed up cookies/brownies/cake in vanilla ice cream.
I usually have it at events, and once or twice a year on my own. I'd prefer my calories went towards alcohol.
(Planing to dry out at the end of the football season if there isn't a false flag attack during the superbowl)
