What's your favorite ice cream?

[JudiB]

Grocery store - Brown's Velvet chocolate. Very smooth and creamy. YUM.

IceCream Shoppe - B&R's Chocolate Raspberry Truffle. (ohgod)

[edible complex]

B&J's Chunky Monkey
Dim Wixie's Bear Tracks
and anything coconut or coffee

[Mac da Knife]

Blue Bell Tin Roof, hands down.

[Schuarta]

Sorry but ice cream incompatible with diet! :(

Sticking to protein and vegetables.

[café au lait]

Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla or Dulce de Leche Hagen Daas

[buzd]

Chunky Monkey, or homemade basil ice cream.

[Suzy Wong]

Tofutti
and
Rice Dream
both soy/ non dairy
(chocolate varieties)

when I do want it, but never liked "COLD" desserts

Bluebell nutty coconut and Bluebell cherry amaretto cordial from the store.

The best ice cream that I have ever eaten was fresh passionfruit ice cream at Le Bernardin in NYC.

[Cocktailtime]

B & J Chunky Monkey
Creole Creamery- blue cheese and walnut also peppermint w/ hot fudge

[Jesse]

I just had blueberry muffin batter from Coldstone. Damn it was good.

My normal favorite store brand is Breyers Vanilla Bean.

I love Haagen Daz, and almost everything the sell as well as Coldstone. The sweet cream is especially good.

[kcdixiecat]

Bluebell's Homemade vanilla or their banana pudding. But, lately...I am hooked on Ro-Bear's sour apple snowballs. It's keeping me out of the ice cream.

[foodieCon]

I'd rather make my own. Nothing like home made Chocolate Chocolate Chip.

But at the store, I like Blue Bunny Fudge Sunday. Yum!

[dragongrrl]

Pralines and Cream and Cherries Jubilee at Baskins.

I like froyo better than ice cream though. But sometimes nothing will do but ice cream.

[bam bam]

Whatever is in season at La Divina.

[jodyrah]

Brocato's chocolate, vanilla, tiramisu. Grocery store: Starbucks coffee.

[foodophyle]

I know its not technically ice cream but we just finished off another pint of sorbetto from Gelato Pazzo on Oak street. The blood orange has been my favorite, but the lemoncello last night may be my new favorite.

As for ice cream:

Store bought - Blue bell mocha almond fudge. (this one seems to only appear seasonally);

Ice cream shop - B&R Jamoca Almond Fudge or Brocatto's chestnut gelato, which is only sold around Christmas.

[willifred]

Angelo Brocatto...Baci....(chocolate hazelnut)

I LOVE the creole creamery. I always check to see what new flavors they have. I really like their coffee-flavored ice cream, but when it comes to ice cream, I'm more of a traditionalist. I LOVE vanilla. Just plain old vanilla lol I never was a fan of chocolate. I also like creole cream cheese ice cream as well as butter pecan. I don't eat ice cream much however.

[kcdixiecat]

Ok, where is Creole Creamery?

Ok, where is Creole Creamery?

Just for comparison, I and my Sweetie think they have the worst ice cream that we have ever tried. It tasted and felt like powdered ice cream mix and lard. Just for comparison..................................

[kcdixiecat]

Ugh..think I'll stick with my Blue Bell and the homemade that ladywhowaits makes in her kitchen.

[jshushan]

I agree with you except I stick to chocolate flavors. La Divina is the best of it's kind I've ever had.

LOL ok, I'm biting again...Where is La Divina?

I didn't list gelato because like you say, it is not technically ice cream - much better than ice cream actually and less fattening too. Pazzo is da bomb! Love the blood orange and the stracciatella. As much as I always loved Angelo Brocato's, once you eat the real thing, you won't want to go back to an Americanized version.

[buzd]

Creole Creamery is on Prytania next to La Thai Cuisine in a former McKenzie's (I think the sign is still there).

I believe La Divina is down Magazine a bit.

[sore_bluto]

There is no one favorite, but I have to mention Blue Bell Chocolate Covered Cherries Ice Cream.

It is cherry ice cream with a chocolate swirl and tiny chocolate candies suspended in it. The candies are filled with cherry syrup that pops when you bite into it. Very tasty.

[ChoWeb]

Cake batter from Stone Cold Creamery.

But really, I'm a custard gal. Kopps.

[PNG]

Ugh..think I'll stick with my Blue Bell and the homemade that ladywhowaits makes in her kitchen.

Try Creole Creamery, I am just saying......................

[Jesse]

Cho, if you get a chance, you gotta try the blueberry muffin batter at Coldstone. I too love the cake batter, and I love the blueberry too!

[PNG]

Blue Bell has started making Cherry Amaretto Cordial ice cream again. Yay! We get their monthly email listing of flavors. They have butterfinger ice cream now too.

[Mrs. Fury]

Chef Horst's chocolate - it tastes like a fudgesickle. His Ponchatoula strawberry rocks too.

[Jeeves]

What Mrs. Fury said and Breyer's Peanut Butter Ice Cream with Reese Peanut Butter Cup Pieces (I'm ashamed of how much of that I ate a few nights ago).

[kcdixiecat]

Right now I'm hooked on BlueBell Snickerdoodle ice cream. This summer when my son was here...he discovered BlueBell Banana Pudding.

[JudiB]

I used to LOVE K&B's Pecan Praline ice cream. Wow that stuff was like crack.

[expatorleanian]

homemade chocolate, or homemade any kind.

grocery: Breyers Vanilla Bean, Haagen Dazs Swiss Almond Vanilla

ice cream shop: as a last resort, Baskin Robbins Jamoca Almond Fudge or Pralines and Cream, but luckily for me the Baskin Robbins in Vicksburg closed. Sometimes after a hard afternoon grocery shopping at Kroger, I'd drive through and reward myself.

Oooh expat I love Bryers Vanilla Bean but I have not bought ice cream in a long time. I think last time I got Blue Bunny in the tiny individual servings. It was perfect. I was able to hide them behind the broccoli so sweetie could not find them.

Haha! I do the same thing with the little pints of Haagen Dazs.

[DivaKitty]

Angelo Brocatto...Baci....(chocolate hazelnut)

Me too! Sometimes called Gianduia. I always get Baci at Brocato's. Sometimes I'll add a second flavor, coffee or pistachio.
I had a really good one from Hagan Daaz, pear something. Picture of Sara Moulton on the carton. Really good.
I had an amazing prune and Armagnac ice cream (frozen custard?) in Paris.
I love fresh peach or strawberry... I really like ice cream, but in general I don't like too much chunky stuff in it (unless its fruit.)

[hungryone]

I can't get behind Coldstone creamery--that stuff is awful...full of stabilizers, gummy and weirdly elastic in texture. Give me gelato any day. La Divina's mint flavors are excellent; the mint julep is ottimo (but how can anything with mint and maker's mark NOT be excellent), as are all of the chocolate flavors. Aztec chocolate is addictive, with the whole cinnamony-peppery-afterburn.

Pazzo's pretty damn good, too. The lemon sorbet is one of the best lemon ices around.

And Brocato's pistachio nut is pretty hard to improve upon.
