It's just a question of what the best ice cream is. Even this is not really a debate once you've had Ben & Jerry's Karamel Sutra Core. It's simply the best! Caramel does such things to me!
i love me some cookies and cream.. i know, i'm basic, but it's so good!
i've actually switched to low-carb ice cream (specifically the Rebel brand). some of it is really good, but some of it tastes like....chalk :( i had a triple fudge flavor (i think) that was delicious though.
Halo Top for the win! They have a lot of neat flavors with fewer calories per pint that make me feel not so guilty about eating the whole container in one sitting.
edit: my favorites are mint chocolate chip, and peanut butter and chocolate/banana. I occasionally dig into Ben and Jerry's Funky Monkey flavor, as I cannot resist it.

I believe I'm supposed to say something like "our ice cream- excuse me, GELATO is better because we invented it" now, just like every normal Italian who's so passionate about the Italian FoodTM. But since I'm biased, take a look at this instead hehe~
Now, in Italy "industrial" ice cream is very common to find, obviously, and is generally quite good itself. How could I forget the everlasting classic, Cornetto by Algida? And Magnum (the one on a stick), Cucciolone (loved it as a kid, basically ice cream inside two cookies), and others. You also have ice cream sold in... boxes, and that is also decent I would say. Of course, there are still better brands and worse brands, but nothing too bad.
I've never tried industrial ice cream made abroad though, and so I can't really formulate an opinion on that. I could give you a pass, but even then...
Hand-made ("artigianale") ice cream is where it's at! Lots of choice, very strong flavors, it's stuff to go crazy for. Even there, people can favor a certain shop over another, but you can't really go wrong anywhere... unless you see way stronger colors than they should be. Favorite flavors include chocolate (ofc), mint and chocolate, sour cherries, yogurt, lemon, and stracciatella!
So, the point is? Not sure actually. I'd say that, if you're careful about the quality of ingredients, and try to experiment with different flavors and sellers, you can't go wrong. But also remember, hand-made ice cream is usually better haha! And this is true anywhere in the world :D
First, sorry for the notification but I have a very important question to ask to all of you that I forgot before: you may all love ice cream, yes, but would you eat it in winter?
I'm not the biggest fan of it but I still would, and even better, I have an irl friend who really doesn't care at all about what season it is!
So yeah, if this could be added to the first post, or if more people would answer to this question as well, it would be very appreciated haha! 😄
jk i know it's not that serious but i'm still curious
Double chocolate chunk is my favorite. 🤤 If I'm in the mood for something less rich, though, I can substitute the chocolate for other kinds of base ice cream - my favorite I've tried is salted caramel chocolate chunk. My go-to brand is Graeter's, but my favorite - nay, the best ice cream of all time?
Jeni's.
If you've ever had Jeni's, you should consider yourself blessed. I don't even do the unusual flavors, I just have the Darkest Chocolate, but it's - it's the best chocolate ice cream I've ever tasted. ♥️_♥️
It tastes like the midwest.
It tastes like a stroll through a cozy little downtown street full of eccentric shops.
It tastes like joy.
It tastes like seriously good ice cream.
Omg.
Plain chocolate was the childhood favourite for me but I used to also mix the strawberry, vanilla and chocolate in Neapolitan ice cream together to create the 'ultimate' ice cream flavour. Looking back, they tasted better separated. I also love matcha, cheesecake and rum and raisin for ice cream flavours.
