(2,691 posts)just Chocolate, Vanilla or Other. With it being flavors of ice cream, I have to change my answer to Cherry Garcia, with Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream a close second. But I'd still have to wait until Easter to eat either one because they both have chocolate in them.
I do love me some Ben & Jerry's.

(995 posts)I am looking forward to cookies containing chocolate come Easter. I miss that more than anything else.
Ice cream? I love pumpkin ice cream, but it's hard to find in season and impossible at this time of the year.

(662 posts)Or peanut butter chocolate, or tahini swirl, or vanilla, or cookie dough, or cookies and cream. Im just happy we have plenty of plant based options in my city, even if I cant find all my former favorites. Theres probably not a trea5 I like more than a decent ice cream or ice cream like substance.

(9,835 posts)Bought when went out earlier today.
Have always loved ice cream but should not eat often or much now as diabetic II.
But have a broken tooth that subsequently lost an old filling and became infected.
My dental care in recent years has been Indian Health Service and even that is a 50 mile drive.
The Tribe has a nearly brand new 6 bay dentist building but no dentist. They have hired several that did not last. One took out a damaged molar and managed to damage the adjacent tooth and ended up losing three teeth on the one side. Went through chemo for lymphoma and was hard on my teeth and body in general.
Was just at the adjacent to new dental building for IHS doctor office Monday The doctor told me that the dentist was back, but he didn't realize that the most recent dentist had already come and gone, why I had not yet gotten any help for the tooth. That doctor was new and is also already leaving. Too remote for his wife and too many locals are not that friendly to blacks.
Any doctors or dentists looking for a job? Drop me a PM. Please.
In the meantime, I have an excuse to eat ice cream because I cannot chew
When I was a child (until 1964 when destroyed by a major flood), my family owned one of two local stores (only one now) and there was a lunch counter with great Humboldt Creamery ice cream. Now one needs to drive 85 miles to get fresh sit down ice cream.
In the East SF Bay Area, there was Fenton's (still exists) and Berkeley Farms ("farms in Berkeley?" people used to say, we had milk delivery at a home in Danville from Berkeley Farms and we went to the Berkeley Farms Creamery in Walnut Creek for a treat).
I love ice cream, favorite is cherry with chocolate.

(196,453 posts)The only historical source for oyster ice cream is found in Mary Randolph's cookbook, The Virginia House-Wife, published in 1824.[1]
Contrary to various news reports in the 21st century, oyster ice cream was not served at the First Thanksgiving, nor was it a favorite of George Washington's, nor served in the White House by Dolley Madison, nor mentioned by Mark Twain in his novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.[3] However,
President James Madison's wife, first lady Dolley Madison, is reported to have served several different flavors of ice cream, both sweet and savory, including: asparagus, parmesan and oyster.[

(9,352 posts)Unfortunately, every time I get hooked on one it tends to get discontinues. Thar happened with Chocolate Mascarpone years ago, and then a few years later with Matcha Green Tea, and appears to be happening again with Mexican Hot Chocolate and maybe (I hope not) with Pistachio Honey. and Brown Butter Bourbon.

(26,856 posts)The best I've had is actually a Gelato.
Talenti Double Chocolate w vermouth.
Vermouth's a bit too sweet for me, but it's minimal enough to ignore it
The chocolate could be a dark type. Then they add these tiny irregular shaped "shards" of dark chocolate "chips".
Oh my goodness; soooo good!
😄 🥰 🥄
I'm actually hoping to get to the particular grocery Sun or Mon to get a pint! Not had in nearly a year? If they don't l have it; also make black raspberry gelato with the same dark chocolate shards. I like raspberry, and the shards are so good - quite an acceptable substitute.
Then Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Therapy (chocolate cream, chocolate cookies, and chocolate pudding ice cream); New York Super Fudge Chunk (chocolate ice cream, little "bars" of white [i pick those .out] & dark chocolate, walnuts, chocolate covered almonds); Chocolate Fudge Brownie (chocolate ice cream w brownie pieces still from Greystone Bakery in Yonkers. NY).
YUMMMS the word!
For Non-chocolate - Butter Pecan.
