If you like coffee flavor, you will love Chick-fil-A's frosty coffee! It is a bit of coffee blended in their ice cream! But the go to place for us when family is here is Ambrosio in Lake Sumter landing, lactose free, made with fruit juices. Pineapple, line, orange and vanilla flavors and you can get a twist. Grandchildren love them! And so do we! (Less expensive too)

My current favorite is mint chocolate chip but having a high A1C I've stayed away from real ice cream and have been buying no sugar added or the keto brands like Halo Top. Or Sugar Free frozen custard.

In tne past other faves were cookies and cream, rocky road and as a kid Friendly's double chocolate.

Growing up, I couldnt wait till the good humor guy rang his bicycle bell and I'd run out of my house for the toasted almond bar. Mmmm
I always loved mint chip also. I'd have to say today that Kilwins toasted coconut and their mint ice cream is an absolute favorite.

Default Favorite Ice Cream

My all time favorite ice cream is Graeter’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk. The ice cream has large, nearly ping pong ball sized, chocolate chunks in the peanut butter ice cream. The recipe has all natural ingredients and is so thick they cannot mix it with a machine. It will burn out the mixer’s motor so it has to be hand mixed. There are other flavors available but the Peanut Butter is the bomb.

I don't drink coffee but love coffee ice cream. Ben and Jerry's Coffee Toffee Bar Crunch is the best, but Baskin Robbins Jamoca Almond Fudge will do in a pinch.

I also look forward to seasonal availability of peppermint candy flavor, usually only available in the Fall holidays months.

I met my future wife in high school when she worked at my local Baskin Robbins and I was in there a lot!
Haagen-Dazs strawberry.

Ditto that! My favorite is Haagen-Dazs Mint Chip. Not always easy to find so when you do, buy a couple of containers!

That’s also happening with other products. Boxes that were 16 oz. are now 12, pasta, etc. somehow the price didn’t go down!

Coffee, although I’m not a coffee drinker, is my favorite flavor.

We love Haagen-Dazs as well. It is dense and very creamy. Surprisingly, Blue Bunny and Tillomock at Winn Dixie or Walmart is very good as well.

My favorite is Cherry Amaretto, formerly known as Mackinac Island Fudge Cherry Amaretto. There are several small dairies in northern Michigan that make awesome ice cream. This one has pieces of maraschino cherry and large pieces of fudge, in a white or pink amaretto based ice cream. I will miss it this summer, as I'm not going north. Don't have to worry about the calories though.

For awhile would only buy ice cream that was actually 64 ounces but not they have all gone to it.

They could have been more honest (sort of) and just sold product with more air pumped in.
