Häagen-Dazs Double Belgian Chocolate Chip, preferably in a waffle cone. Inject that stuff right into my veins.
I'm the type that's never had bad ice cream. I love everything from the high end nitrogen stuff to those little ice cream plastic cups with the cardboard top and wooden spoon.
With that said, Publix has some great seasonal flavors.
I ate a simple vanilla ice cream at a high end restaurant in Hawaii that may have been the best single scoop of ice cream I've ever had.
I love Kilwin's fudge, but I need to try their ice cream.
Ben and Jerry's on Franklin street got my business frequently during summer school. Mint Chocolate Cookie, Stores, and Cherry Garcia were go to's.

For those of you who have never had it, Handels ice cream in Morrisville is the best ice cream shop I've ever been too. They have 10 + flavors that I'd rank above the best thing I'd get from Cold stone/Freddy's. Key Lime Pie, Monkey Business, Graham Central station, Pineapple upside down cake, any of their cheesecake varieties. If you are anywhere near RTP it's worth the trip.
My guilty pleasure is bubble gum ice cream from Yarboroughs in Sanford, hard to beat.

Some of the best ice cream I've had was a "Salted Sweet Corn" from a local place. Made with fresh, local sweet corn, It was fantastic the first year and just ok the next year likely based on the corn that season.
Also love a well done coffee ice cream, coffee and cream were made for each other.

I'm all vanilla. lol You can add anything you want to vanilla to make it something else. I like plain vanilla at times, but love making various dishes at home using vanilla as the base. If I'm at an ice cream shop I generally try weird ice creams I've never had before.
I used to love Bryer's vanilla but they have changed something in it. It's terrible to me now. I love any flavor of Turkey Hill. Very creamy and tasty, especially as it melts.
Turkey Hill French vanilla is really really good, will have to try Haagen Dazs.
Will eat most all, but prefer Gelato. Favorite ice cream flavors are rum raisin, butter pecan and sea salt caramel.
So making ice cream is one of my hobbies! I’m the dork with her own little labels even - I call them Michelle is Freezing, which is a family joke because I’m always hot.
I make a mean overloaded Andes peppermint candy Oreo with a mint base. around the holidays - think of that holiday shake at CFA but moar.
Another good one I male is biscoff crumbled cookies in a coffee ice cream - I do a coffee with dark chocolate chunks too that’s pretty good.
But my personal commercial favorites is Jeni’s Birthday cake and Jeni’s brown butter almond. And store gavorite - old school baskin robins chocolate chip.

Michelle, you should never post something like that without an invitation to share in your hard work. Also, what type of ice cream maker do you use?
A creamy coffee ice cream with hot fudge is pretty good too.
Oh I'm always happy to share... sometimes I get neighborhood teenage boys asking for ice cream from my outside freezer, lol.
Honestly I just use the freezer bowl attachment to my Kitchen Aid mixer! I have two of the bowls that I keep out in my deep freeze in the garage. I have been considering a dedicated machine but I'm one of those people who loves tinkering with food but I have ADD so I'm always moving to the next thing before circling back. I've got a pizza oven for outside and it's still in the box... I got it last year for my birthday, which is this month so for a full year it's sat there in the box!! Which is a bad sign because I just bought a bunch of hydroponic stuff this weekend for growing herbs to use in my extraction and infusion machine.
However, I do covet the Lello Musso.
Thanks for sharing. I'd love a lello musso as well but I use one so infrequently that it doesn't financially make sense for me. For you, it'd make a fine birthday gift!
I had a great time this summer breaking out our old ice cream maker out of the attic. I'm talking about the kind with the small motor that spins in the bucket and needs constant ice and rock salt. I've never been able to get the same texture out of a Cusinart or other modern options that I do out of the original bucket.
I usually keep it pretty basic and go with vanilla or coffee, but I need to start expanding my horizons more. Adding biscoff to the coffee sounds like a brilliant idea.
This thread takes me back some 60 years when my family had one of these motorized ice cream makers that relied on constant ice and rock salt. The only recipe my parents knew was for banana ice cream, which was not my favorite. Almost always involved some sort of big family get-together for a fish fry or bbq chicken served on our big picnic table outdoors.
I’d practically kill for a bowl of that banana ice cream today…

Those family get together were so much fun. It's a shame not many do them anymore. Great memories.
