I have a favorite Baskin Robbins flavor combo that you can only get a few months of the year. Pumpkin Pie & Egg Nog. DEEEEEELICIOUS! Try it. If that's not available then Peanut Butter Chocolate.
Tough choice. Marble fudge. Hazelnut. Haagen Daz chocolate covered almonds. Really good vanilla, preferably homemade. Oh hell, I like damn near all.
Plain chocolate is never bad, but among more exotic flavors, I've always liked Rocky Road a lot, and I generally like the various types of cookie dough ice cream.
Any chocolate, mint, mocha and coffee chip ice cream. The obvious nut enhanced creams like Walnut, Pecan and Almond are my favs too. I was fortunate to grow up in an ice cream business and I made product. My father started in the milk business before WW2 and in 1946 the business evolved into very good ice cream known throughout Trenton and the Mercer County area. We made special concoctions with liquor too. We were accomplished in the manufacture of Sherbets and fruit ices as well. He sold the business in 1988. I would rather make it then dip it out for hours. Side story: My father liked to hire local kids and give them chances. One kid started working for a mechanic and he showed up for work with grease and dirt under his finger nails. He could possibly dip and serve chocolate without being noticed but is was not so. John was interesting. He had ears like the Ferengi from Star Trek Next Generation. He scrubbed his fingers so much his arms smelled like a bleach vat.
1A) Forgot my all time favorite, Raspberry Riple; 1) Vanilla (cone or shake); 2) Peach (cone or shake); 3) Haagen Dazs Vanilla Swiss Almond (cone or shake); 4) Orange Sherbert (cone only); 5) Pineapple Sherbert (cone or shake); 6) Jamoca Almond Fudge (cone or shake); 7)+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Coffee (cone or shake). They're all nearly identical in terms of desire which is now higher than sex. That's what you get to look forward to in your old age. Incidentally, when I was a boy throughout the 50s our local ice cream store called it sherbert rather than sorbet or sherbet.
Vanilla Swiss Almond is the one I was thinking of. Pick peaches off the tree. Make peach pie and peach ice cream.
When I was a kid we had a cafe that made Hot Dutch Apple pie with cinammon vanilla ice cream that was to die for....haven't seen cinnamon ice cream since...also love green tea ice cream which is found in Japan
In high school I had a girl “friend” (and shirttail relative) who worked at the old Cupie Cone at 39th and Holgate. They had cinnamon milk shakes on the menu that were out of this world. She would load mine up with so much cinnamon syrup it would almost take the roof of my mouth off. God they were good! I even have a picture of the old Cupie Cone sign on my family room wall. Every now and then I’ll find cinnamon ice cream at the specialty ice cream shops (usually around Xmas) but it’s like hunting for snipes……
