Discover Your New Favorite Ice Cream Flavor with Starbucks' Mud Pie and More!

[pcchris]

In my traditional "What's your favorite (whatever)" threads from the past, here's another one.

As I sit here, trying to type and eat ice cream at the same time (there's your hint), I'm wondering what your favorite ice cream is?

Mine has got to be Starbucks' Mud Pie. In case you haven't tried it, it's coffee ice creem with oreo cookies and a fudge swirl, then of course I have to drown it in chocolate syrup...YUM!

It's my "vice". I've eaten quite a bit of it lately, and I know it's showing because my clothes are kinda tight, but it helps me get through.

Being a midwesterner, of course we have frozen custard here, and then of course, it would have to be chocolate that's my favorite.

Coffee ice cream from The Plaza hotel (did you see Home Alone 2?)

Hershey's Cappachino Crunch NOTHING beats it. I really don't even eat ice cream except when I can get that one ... can't resist it!!!

 

[chefann]

mmmm.....I don't really have a favorite - I like it all! There are some flavors that I like less than others (like butter pecan, or anything with a lot of nuts in it).

Chris is right - once you've had frozen custard, grocery store ice cream just doesn't do the job anymore.Butter Pecan from Leon's Frozen Custard is the absolute best. (Leon's was the inspiration for Arnold's in the old Happy Days television series.)http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/54/Leon%27s_Frozen_Custard.jpg/800px-Leon%27s_Frozen_Custard.jpg

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM I remember Leon's! Ice cream just isn't the same here in North Carolina. WI does it right!

Sticky Caramal Pudding by Haagan Diaz is my favorite at the moment. I also love cookies and cream. When I was a kid I loved bubble gum and blue moon!

Leons does rock! Now I'm going to have to stop there because I'm getting hungry for it and it is only 6:30 am!!

Baskin Robbins - Jamocha Almond Fudge

Any kind that is home-made

I'd agree...Frozen Custard is wonderful!!
We lived in Milwaukee for a short while...and it WAS GOOD!!
Sounds like there's a lot of Cheffers who like coffee flavored ice cream...
Let us know a great place for ice cream in Chicago...we should meet up!

As a fellow Wisconsite, I have to agree...nothing beats frozen custard!! My favorite is French Silk. Anything chocolate will work, just no fruity stuff in mine!

It's hard to beat frozen custard. Even sugar-free, it's deliscious.

My favorite flavor of ice cream? Spumoni.

DH and I have recently discovered Edy's Double Churned French Silk Ice Cream (another Coffee ice cream!) and right now can't get enough of it.

Frozen Custard is wonderful......but can only be an occasional treat - I'm a WW, and can't afford that many points too often!

Nikki - when I was a kid, my brothers and I always wanted Bubble Gum Ice Cream, but we only liked the kind that actually had bubble gum in it, not just the bubble-gum flavored ice cream!

here are a few of my favorites.........
Carl's - local landmark - BEST chocolate malts
mint chocolate chip
Schwans Caramel Cashew crunch
B&J's Chunky Monkey

They actually made it without bubblegum I've only seen it with bubblegum inside of it. Guess I was lucky!!

Ice-cream, in general, is my vice. It's the quickest way for me to gain 10 lbs. I love it! My favorites:

plain ole' French Vanilla
Mint Chocolate Chip

For anyone in the lower midwest states, Braum's is the place for ice-cream!

Brown's ice cream in MAINE!!! I forget the town, but I know its near York. The best! And the servings are HUGE! (Don't tell anyone on the healthier lifestyle thread) LOL
