Cookies N' Cream 4 lyfe

Heavenly Hash hands down

cookie dough is my favorite

raspberry cheescake nigga

Fruit sorbet and ice cream is objectively the best. Melon, lemon, strawberry, mango. So fresh, so good.
After that, pistacchio and coffee ice creams are the best.

Do you Americans get spaghetti ice cream in your parlors?

Are they a meme? i grew up thinking they were the highest quality. only ice cream i knew that had whole strawberry chunks in them (like you could taste the outside of the stawberries skin in the icecream)

>>10930825
Where my sweet cream bros at?

>>10930956
it's good

Tillamook is pretty much the goat brand as far as I can tell.

any Moosetracks fans here? That and >>10930878 have always been my favorites.

>>10930929
Well they're not virtue signaling dumbasses like Ben and Jerry.

>>10930966
Really? I live near Tillamook OR. I personally hate tillamook brand icecream and find it not much better than your typical national chain ice cream (Breyers, Blue bell) and in fact I think it's worse than hagendass. To each their own but I just don't think it has that much flavor and has a weird consistency.. I do like their butter and cheese though.

t. worked in mom and pop grocery store and have tried all tillamook flavors when they'd get damaged or get too many delivered.

i ate some phish food at the ass end of a 7 gram mushroom trip and gif related

>>10930911
Don't know about spaghetti ice cream around where i live, but i got the ice cream variant of Poutine. Delicious as fuck to eat

>>10930966
Most local creameries are alright. Umpqua and Humboldt are also pretty decent from my experience but I don't think they're very easy to get outside their region whereas Tillamook has really expanded all over the country in the past few years. Blue Bell is a big deal in Texas I guess but even before they started using HFCS they were always kind of mediocre in my opinion, so I'm pretty sure their popularity is just because they were the only ones in the game here for half a century.

Like >>10931095 said though, what matters isn't whether you're buying local, buying from the big names, or hippie organic shit from Sprouts but rather the quality of the specific brand and flavor. Their fake germanness and huge market share aside, Haagen-Dazs is usually still a pretty good choice. I usually do get Tillamook when it's available though since I like the flavors and that it's a co-op, but you can't really go wrong with most brands above a certain price point.

If you're having trouble trying to figure out if you're eating good stuff, know that high-quality ice cream should be dense and creamy, and shouldn't ever get icy in the freezer. It shouldn't be airy, and that iciness is often a symptom of being too airy or having fillers.

>>10931127
iciness can also be from storing the ice cream in a broken freezer

Neapolitan is pretty disgusting.
I make my own vanilla

>>10931139
Vanilla is foreign crap grown with French colonial slave labor. I make sweet cream using milk from the local co-op sweetened with good American cane sugar from Florida.

For me, its connoisseur

the only good ice cream sandwich is a cookies and cream ice cream sandwich

>>10931181
>Vanilla is foreign crap grown with French colonial slave labor.
So? It tastes good.

>>10931181
>>10931268
Companies usually don't advertise that their ingredients is picked by slave labor or sometimes child labor but honestly knowing my food was picked by a miserable little girl makes it taste that much better.

>>10931206
good taste

the only ice-cream I've eaten in a good 6-7 years probably, it's my go to when I feel like some ice-cream which isn't often

it's so fucking delicious, perfect amount of cookie and so creamy

I make thai rolled ice cream for a living AMA.

This is my thread now.

>>10931848
Is it good?

>>10931854
If you have a good cream base than yeah. A lot of places have shitty premade one that they get delivered but we make ours fresh from milk, heavy cream and sugar.

Simply the most based flavor

>>10930825
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED FLAVORS OF NEAPOLIS, AND TO THE FROZEN TREAT FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE ICE CREAM UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH CREAM AND SUGAR FOR ALL

>>10931869
Boring as fuck

>>10931848
Do you make thai rolled ice cream for a living?

>>10930825
I friggin love Ben & Jerry's. I usually go for Phish Food or Chubby Hubby, but their regular flavors are also awesome. Generally speaking that's the only ice cream I buy at the store. I also sometimes go to a local parlor that makes their own ice cream and if they have something really good I buy a pint.

>>10930825
salted caramel

>>10930929
Once upon a time they did a vanilla and raspberry swirl with merangue and it was godly, but everything in their usual line-up tastes pretty artificial.

is there such a thing as low sugar ice cream? not other shit in place of sugar, just ice cream that isn't so fucking sweet

>>10932696
You can definitely get/make icw cream that is way less sweet than a lot of big brand stuff but you can only go so far- the sugar isn't just for flavor, it also inhibits ice crystal growth which keeps the ice cream smooth and creamy rather than hard, coarse and icy as it freezes.

>>10930929
The made up foreign sounding name is a bit cringy.

>>10932720
surely other substances can be used for this purpose

>>10932696
Sweet cream is generally not nearly as sweet as other flavors and I'm pretty sure I've seen unsweetened ice cream but the best way is probably just to make your own and flavor it however you want. Homemade stuff is almost always better than store-bought if you know what you're doing.

>Got invited over last night for dinner
>Dessert was spumoni
Oh shit I haven't had spumoni in age-
>Pistachio, Cherry [chocolate]
>Fucking chocolate

Last time I checked the italian flag didnt have BROWN in it. why the fuck would you ruin spumoni with that literal shit colored, shit flavored nonsense?!

Ice cream is only good if it's a cream based flavor:
IE: Chocolate, Vanilla, French vanilla, Coffee, Cheesecake

Anything else Gelato is superior for.

Got sherbet with pineapple chunks thrown in once and it was God tier

My two favorite flavors are pistachio and mint chocolate chip. R8 me.

>>10930825
PeacanNUT icecream

I like lemon sherbert a lot, also salted caramel and good fashioned vanilla. I like to add a splash of milk to the top before I eat ice cream as well, it slightly melts the topmost layer and what does melt off combines with the milk to almost form a slightly thick sauce which almost acts like a glaze.

If you bet Tillamook ice cream, the the stuff with egg yolks added in, it makes it really rich and helps to balance out the sweetness.

>>10933647
Huh, I might try that milk thing sometime. I always just run the spoon under hot water for a few moments if it's too hard.

>>10932745
>Grew up thinking it was a popular German brand
>Turns out to be American

REEEE VANILLA IS A FLAVOUR

>>10930825
i like neapolitan because it's cheap and you get a lot of it so you can be a pig

>>10934618
if i see another container of chocopolitan though i'm gonna shoot up a grocery store

>>10930929
They're still the best as far as I can tell. Some brands can equal them in quality but they always have weird flavors and end up going under or turning to shit.

In the future you will split your opinions on ice cream into two eras: before and after you taste Turkey Hill Double Dunker

I like Aldi's Specially Selected vanilla, it doesn't have any gums or stabilizers (other than eggs).

I stopped buying ice cream when quarts disappeared entirely from all brands while prices continued to go up. Shrinkage is unacceptable.

>>10934964
Or maybe it was half gallons. Whatever it was, they got smaller in a sneaky way.

>>10934964
They got smaller because fatties kept eating an entire gallon in one night. Smaller = Healthier

>>10933502
>Eats only green ice creams

3/10

>>10930929
Yes. The vanilla and strawberry are pretty good desu.

>>10933502
Snot tier.

>>10931888
>Calls one of the most expensive spices boring, and considers it mediocre.
Next thing you're gonna tell me that lobster is a delicacy, not food originally fit for prisoners?

>>10935552
There should be a green neopolitan with pistachio, mint chocolate, and matcha.

Guess where I'm from faggots

yay

I went to Baskin Robbins recently because they had an anin dofu flavor.
It was pretty good!

>>10931074
>talking about quality
>pol tards bring up politics
Yea the left are the snowflakes btw

>>10934589
My fucking nigga

>>10935671
faggotsville?

>>10930966
This. I fucking love this shit.

>>10934608
No it's not.

I like a rich flavor like butter pecan if I'm going to a creamery. I've made fruit flavored ice cream at home and it's good. Easier to do.

Anyone ever taken a piece of cake and mixed it in a bowl with ice cream until it's like soft server?

That shit is really good, especially when you get some of the frosting in a bite.

>>10930825
Tillamook Oregon Strawberry is never not good.

>>10936549
>>10936377
>>10930966
I ignored the shills like everyone else, but posting oregon strawberry puts me over the edge.

Tillamook's ice cream is a scam as far as I can tell. There's more dissolved air in it than the cheapest store brand. It's not creamy, it just leaves a viscous film on your tongue. Nearly no strawberries -- just one or two chunks for every cup of white ice cream. It's not even vanilla, it's just plain ice cream. It smelled like nothing, tasted like nothing, was barely sweet. Picked up the oregon black cherry a month later from another store just to make sure it wasn't some bizarre QC issue. Nope, no cherries, just white flavorless air-filled ice cream. Had it again at a friend's house a year later, same shit. 7 fucking dollars a carton.

Apparently I'm still pretty pissed about this.

>>10936726
t. overstimulated lardass

>>10934561
Mmm, HFCS and listeria. Delicious.

>go to a restaurant
>have a nice main meal, thinking about dessert
>see 'Selection of Ice Creams'
>ask wait staff what flavours they have
>"We have Vanilla, Chocolate and Strawberry"

Motherfucker if your 'selection' of ice cream can be found in a box of Neapolitan it's not much of a selection, now is it? This happens at every restaurant I go to and I always fall for it. Why are people never more adventurous?

>>10937156
The majority of patrons won't order a dessert, if they have other desserts not all of those who do will order ice cream, and the vast majority of people will be satisfied with one of those three standard flavors. Hell, the fact that they even have something so niche as strawberry is uncommonly extravagant.

If you want something done right you've got to do it yourself.

>>10937205
>>10937156
>go to a restaurant that doesn't make its own desserts in house
>le wrong decade
No, you're just poor

>>10937211
Uh, this is an English-language website. Would you mind translating so I might understand?

brand new flavor i just got, it's real fucking good.

>>10937205
I'm not making a successful restaurant that has dishes I want just to quit so I can eat there and get the ice cream i want with dinner

>>10934589
i used to eat this a lot but then i realized that i hate ben and jerrys and stephen colbert more than I like their ice cream so i stopped giving them money

>>10930825
rum raisin is the best flavor

>>10935671
>Guess where I'm from faggots
>>10936009
>faggotsville?
this

Blue Bell.

Let some ice cream turn into a luke warm liquid, then try and drink it. I bet you'll gag. So next time you dig into ice cream, remember what you're really eating.

>>10938561
Of course, that would be absolutely fucking asinine. What you should do is to make several successful restaurants that have dishes you want so you can sell them and use the proceeds to buy their signature ice creams with dinner.

>>10938582

Once a year I get this thing from Carvel. It's fucking delicious but I cannot get them regularly or I will get diabetes in a month.

Couple years ago I started making my own after I bought pic related.
I don't eat too much ice cream so I'll make maybe 2 batches a summer.
Haven't made any this year yet

>>10938663
That's definitely the litmus test. But not every ice cream fails it. I remember being a kid and waiting for my bowl of Breyers (the real stuff) to fully melt. Texture was great and the flavors were more intense. Only way I'd eat it.

rip Breyers

>>10939745
How much did that cost you? I have an old one, but with no paddle. Maybe I should try and buy a replacement or try and make my own somehow.

I really want to make a match vanilla ice cream.

>>10940481
I got it on sale for $55

>>10930825
I make my own.

>>10942810
why do you need a name on an anonymous board where you are not OP, no one needs to follow you , and no one gives a fuck who you are?

FUUUUUUUUUUCK I ALWAYS FORGET THE FUCKING NAMES ON

>>10939725
>2080 calories

>>10939745
how come whenever I see Ice cream makers they are all tiny 1-4 quart makers? What if I wanted to make gallons of the stuff? like say I wanted to make 40 quarts (10 gallons) of ice cream or maybe 80 quarts for a party, I always feel like if you are going to bring home made ice cream for a party only making 1-4 quarts isn't going to do it.

>>10930825
Vanilla ice cream is my favorite.

>>10944490
what a talented chef

>>10944490
as a white man, this should be viewed by everyone in the world. We should show this in schools every day

this is the best ice cream of all time

>>10944471
Buy a professional one not consumer

>>10944500
>dairy free frozen dessert made with coconut milk
Each scoop of that shit must be like a thousand calories worth of saturated fat. The actual flavor sounds pretty good though.

>>10944934
it's v good. i hate the taste of coconut but this has just a hint and that + the blueberry + the cardamom go together so well it's mind bottling that this is not a more common flavor combination

>>10945008
Well when you buy your shit from stores of course you have to be content with other people think of. I use all kinds of seeds and other spices in homemade stuff.

Birthday cake, cake batter, chocolate chip cookie dough, German chocolate, and green tea.

white vanilla > vanilla

>Have a big tub of Neapolitan ice cream in the communal freezer at work
>Come back the next day
>Some assholes ate all the vanilla and chocolate out of it, left the strawberry

>>10931848
How do you eat that?

>>10945085
This is better. Cold ice cream inside of a warm doughnut.

Can't find a brand without fucking soy lecithin in it. Shit is ridiculous.

>>10930825
Not a fan, chocolate overpowers either of the flavors so if you get even a little bit in a bite it's a nasty mishmash

Best vegan ice cream brand?

>spent 3 weeks in italy
>ice cream back home is good, but I can't help comparing it to italy

how do they do it? even simple flavours like vanilla were amazing, and the texture

>>10945332
they add egg and use heavy cream in gelato

>>10945330
see >>10944500
their new line of flavors is really good. nada moo is also pretty good.

>>10945330
>vegan ice cream
I think you mean nondairy frozen dessert.

apple and cinnamon
or
vanilla

depends on weather i have pie or not

>>10931056
Hell yeah. Moosetracks and cookie dough are my all time favorites for ice cream. Pistachio or Hazelnut for gelato.

>>10931101
What's phish food? Try mixing the mushrooms with mayonnaise.

>>10938554
You're eating a Burgerfag memed version of a normie memed weeb meme. Do you eat it with squirty cheese Minecraft edition chopsticks too?

Has anyone here tried this brand?
