Kawartha has this salted caramel truffle flavour I fucking miss so bad from when I lived in Ontario, or that PC Black label bourbon vanilla is soo good if I actually go to (local Loblaw's variant, not doxxing myself) but usually I go to Sobeys cause it's closer so I get stuck with regular Chapman's or Haagen-Dasz which is fine but it's just not really the same but I don't wanna go all the way to (city redacted) just to get an ice cream because why would i do that. Anyways, what's your guyses's favourite ice cream. Gimme some suggestions available in canuckistan or stuff to try when I visit the US.

I want to go to there, but truly I'm afraid to meet my ice cream heroes.

Marble slab creamery if there's any still around here in canada. They do the whole song and dance mixing the ice cream on a cold slab with the flavours using these metal scraper things. Pretty sure they still exist. Otherwise i just fuck with the radioactive ice cream sandwiches I have the taste of a raccoon

Oh shit! Looks like they have one in Halifax so I will have to try this out next time I'm there!

There was this ice cream cone that had a slightly sour citrusy outer layer, delicious pear ice cream that was not overly sweet, and a core of salty toffee ice cream. It was the perfect ice cream cone, and those bastards stopped selling it. All the others taste so much worse in comparison now that they don't even seem worth buying.

You might like the PC Black Label Yuzu Citrus flavour. That whole combo sounds pretty baller, but you'd get a similar sourish citrusy ice cream vibe, maybe!

my ice cream hot takes:

  • ben and jerry's has gone to shit since they sold to unilever
  • peanut butter is a criminally underrated ice cream mix-in
  • it is too damn hard to find banana ice cream these days

Tillamook icecream is pretty good. They make this pecan-caramel thats fucking amazing.

Comrades get long-distance Ice Cream, as a treat. meow-bernie

can't imagine going 20 minutes each way across a car bridge on a bicycle to go to a grocery store when I could just not do that and go to the other more different grocery store that's like 3 blocks from my house

Under socialism every street corner shall have an incredibly convenient little store where planning and feedback tailors its inventory to the neighborhood! I'm both being funny and serious! allende-rhetoric

Cornish cream or Scottish tablet. That's all you need

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

I don't think I've ever seen either of these flavours in north america. Will have to try sometime if I ever visit the Cracker Peninsula.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Lol, the cracker Peninsular. Love it. Probably the only reason to visit

In the early 2010s Blue Bell did a limited edition Red Velvet Cake ice cream that was my favorite thing ever. I didn't know it was limited edition and was heartbroken when it disappeared. Blue Bell hasn't indicated they're ever gonna bring it back.😔

Last year Walmart released a hilariously tonedeaf Juneteenth ice cream that was absolutely torn apart on social media to the point Walmart was just flat out throwing the ice cream out. It wasn't till after i learned it was Red Velvet flavor.

I'm like 99% sure I've seen a red velvet flavour from halo top. Not sure if this helps.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Oh shit! Thanks! Gotta check that out!

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

malted milk & coffee are the best flavors imo

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I just recently learned you can buy malt powder at the grocery store and have been switching up my occcasional evening bowl of chocolate ice cream.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Mmm, ice cream so good mmm 🤤 gang gang

This is heresy, and I know it. But I fucking love Talenti’s Roman Raspberry sorbet. Almost as good as when I visited Italy years ago. Not ice cream, per se, but it makes me very happy.

If I see it at a store, i like the Milk Bar birthday cake ice cream. I've been on a PB ice cream kick tho lately. Idk if that place is available in Canada tho.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

My favorite growing up was simple but harder to get as I got older: chipper bars, basically an ice cream sandwich with chocolate chips in the ice cream. Found some recently under the name "cookies and cream flavour" so that's been pretty swell.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Cherry Garcia, man

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I've only ever seen it at two ice creams shops, but black sesame ice cream is one of my favorite flavors in the world. Fancy shops might make it as a seasonal flavor or something, if you ever happen to see it anywhere doooo get it!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I don't eat it anymore because im-vegan, but Superman ice cream and all it's trademark-friendly variants like Scooperman and Super Rainbow is bar none the best ice cream I have ever had.

Don't we need a warning on non-vegan posts?

Anyway, I'm a mint chocolate chip fan. I like it aggressively minty. Miss me with the fancy matcha mint stuff that tastes like grass. The best Mint Chocolate Chip I've had so far is Blue Bunny.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

vegan ice cream exists btw. i've seen it made from like almond milk, etc.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

it's also pretty good in my experience
one drawback is it doesn't tend to last as long in the freezer

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Fun fact: a pint is a serving size if you want it to be lol

Also So Delicious Chocolate Cookies and Cream is the best I've had so far.

Just on images afaik

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Huuuuuge fan of mint chocolate chip. Have you any recommendations for a super minty one?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Blue Bunny is my favorite so far but I haven't had a lot of the super fancy ones so idk if they're any good

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

For a while I got into eating a Klondike bar while smoking a cigarette. It was a really nice contrast of mouth experiences. Don't recommend, as cigarettes are awful.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Have you ever tried making your own? This recipe gives you a pretty smooth ice-cream with no machine needed.
I haven't tested these, but here's some vegan recipes

Trader Joe's Cookie Butter is just amazing

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I used to hate the bryers etc puffed up gas station kinds but recently I been thinking they’re nice sometimes if they didn’t cost so fucking much.

You can’t make a milkshake or float with em though.
