national ice cream day

[snowball]

It's National Ice cream day!!! wish I'd known yesterday would have gotten some ice cream!!!
what is your favorite flavor???
I really like ice cream so can't just have one
I love Pistachio Almond ice cream I know of two companies that carry it.. so had to find but when I do you can bet I get it
Private Selections (Kroger) carries a Dark raspberry chocolate chunk that I love but again it isn't always close by
when they aren't I will go for anything chocolate except rocky road don't like it
like the nut flavors but usually get it when it sounds good
home made love cherry nut
soft serve vanilla MCD's
or custard find it at Neilson's in Utah or Freddies hamburger places carry it

I don't eat ice cream. One day I may try one of the low carb recipes but I really have no desire for it. Amazing how ones taste changes when one completely changes the way they eat.

Anything chocolate without nuts. I love chocolate marshmallow which is hard to find so I just get marshmallow sauce to pour over chocolate ice cream. Also like B&J's Phish Food.

Thank goodness Ben and Jerry quit making my favorite, Cream Brûlée. I went to the peach festival a few years ago and got turned on to peach ice cream. It's hard to find but the local grocery store had some the other day. I managed to resist buying it. I don't have room in the freezer and sure don't need ice cream.

Ice cream is my weakness and I usually have a dish of ice cream every night, although I'm on a low carb diet. That is my one splurge. I usually get something chocolatey and occasionally switch over to Neopolitan (chocolate, vanilla & strawberry).

I also love peach ice cream. Schwann's used to have it and it was so sweet and creamy!

When I was being good to my body I made my own "ice cream"... In quotes because it is non dairy. I make it with coconut milk and usually a fruit, often strawberry or peach ... I've also made chocolate and other flavors. When I'm not good, which has been the last 5 years or so, I do splurge. I love mint ice creams, especially with some chocolate added. Pretty much like many unless it tastes too much like vanilla. I just bought a pint of chocolate brownie.

OMG. My favorite ice cream flavor is Mint Chocolate Chip. The ice cream is a wonderful minty green (!) with large chunks of chocolate mixed in. I try to only buy it two or three times a year. When I do, a half-gallon only lasts me about four or five days (max!).

Anne, that's one of my go-to's. But Friday I got in Blue Bunny's mint cookie crunch to the store... "Mint ice cream, fudge swirls, mint chocolate cookie chunks" and it's delicious. Yes, I had to buy one immediately lol.

My fave is Rocky Road but don't eat it that often. Usually have it in the freezer because
that's my grand daughter's fave also! YUM

was in the store tonight and decided that since yesterday was national ice cream day would buy some... Red Button (I think is the brand) actually had Pistachio with Almonds so had to buy had to see still prefer Blue Bonnets but they are not in this area then it didn't fit so put it in lots of almost single size servings good size portions to be sure

I’ve never liked store-bought ice cream, even as a child. My mom taught me how to make homemade ice cream, and I made up a recipe for English toffee that was wonderful. I’ve never had any desire for any other flavors. This discussion has now made me want to make the English toffee recipe again since I haven’t made it for years. Thanks everyone!

Yesterday I bought some salted caramel with chocolate chunks ice cream. It is really good! That Blue Bunny mint ice cream sounds good. I will have to try that one.

I stopped at a Race Track gas station today that has about 15 flavors of self-serve ice cream. I got a small cone of butter pecan ice cream. Thanks a lot for all the ice cream talk. lol
