** Ice Cream Eating Now Official Thread **

I bought this for two reasons; 1. Because I've developed a taste for mint ice creams lately, and 2. So I can say I've tried every single Signature Chip flavor offered by Graeter's. I was not expecting it to become one of my favorite flavors of Graeter's. Hell, I might even consider this the best one if you can believe it. The ratio of sweetness to the floral minty note is on-point. Everything just comes together so well in this. I'll be re-buying this sooner rather than later.

Cold Cow Ice Cream Holy Cherry Cow B Better than Cherry Garcia but not better than HD Black Cherry Gelato.

Has anyone seen/tried this? I love me some apple crumble, so this flavor sounds interesting to me. Hope to god they go overboard with the pie crust mix-ins.

Haagen Dazs finally has Peanut Butter Pie listed on their flavor locator.

Just searched and it's nowhere to be found in my area.

I only need to pay $25k for an additional ticket. PM me if you're interested (must be non-smoker, Satan worshippers okay)...

HD Sea Salt Caramel Gelato. Bit of a letdown to be honest. The caramel base makes me think of bad caramel corn. The swirl however, WOW. There wasnt much of it, but it was sensational. I had one little pool of it (as shown in the pic) and that was it for the whole pint oddly. Throw that swirl in the Talenti base and you have an absolute grand slam.

Cookies so big!

I just finished off a pint of 2nd St. Creamery's Black Hills Strawberry Rhubarb. It's described as strawberry ice cream with strawberries, rhubarb sauce, and pie crust pieces.

Filled with pie crust mixins, with a chewyness to them rather than a crunch. The rhubarb sauce gave it an extra sweet taste every few bites, and the strawberries were fairly large for mix ins.

Blue Bell's Summer Strawberry Pie is a poor rendition of a strawberry pie, while this ice cream gets extremely close.

So far I'm a big fan of 2nd St. Creamery. Will try to snag a Truckstop Fudge sometime soon and give that a shot.

Finally found Cannoli. Also picked up Chocolate Therapy & the slow churned Edys pumpkin to compare to the regular version.

Big fan of 2nd St. Creamery. Just tried there Copper Kettle Caramel, and its ridiculously good I'd honestly put it ahead of sea salt caramel just because of the massive mix ins and the caramel swirl is insane. The strawberry is very good too, I had that awhile ago and it was delicious Shaws was running a 2/5.00 so I picked up a few pints and got Truckstop Fudge to try later.

Cannoli is too sweet.

Choc therapy is legit.

Not a huge fan of edys

I got Graeters black raspberry to celebrate PR day. Was gonna treat myself to Jennis but didn't make it to that store

I'm really trying the two BnJ's to say I tried them.

None of the Graeters flavors I've seen at Publix are really standing out as must tries to me.

Publix is weak. Only mint, black raz, and choc. Mint was pretty good. Black raz tonight. Earth fare and fresh market have better selection

Second Street Creamery has the best SSC icecream out there. It comes in at a whopping 330 calories/serving, but its freaking bomb. The brownie one is bomb as well, it has marshmellowy swirls in it. But yeah that strawberry rhubarb pie one is bomb. Them shortbread pieces

I enjoyed Cannoli ( but i enjoy very sweet things)
CT was very good have to agree there, very dense in flavor.

Black Rasp = Bomb, im not a fruit ice cream guy, but the flavoring is top notch and the Chocolate Chip line of Graters is packed with mix-ins. Literally huge chunks every bite as you get down the pint. Good choice sir.

What all do you have?

Buckeye Blitz (Choc Chip Cookie Dough), Cookies and Cream, Black Rasp, Elena Blueberry Pie, are my fav's off their line. I am not a mint guy, but Robboe said the mint Chocolate chip was one of their finest off the line.

[psychodiver9]

Buckeye blitz =\= cookie dough I dont think

Publix here has mint, black razz, and chocolate. Other flavors at "fancy" grocery stores.

Graeters Black Raspberry is an easy A. Best fruit based ice cream I've ever had. I'm not a huge fruit ice cream guy but this was bomb. My pint had less chocolate mix ins than other Graeters pints but I think it worked. The base was so creamy and rich and flavorful. The chocolate was the perfect compliment. Easily one of top Graeters flavors I've had

[Spawp]

Funny. I just finished my pint of Graeter's Black Raspberry. :P



This was my first pint of Graeter's, and I heard great things about their Black Raspberry and it did not disappoint. I agree 100% that It's the best fruit ice cream I've ever had. The dark chocolate compliments the creamy base very well.

I had heard about how Graeter's breaks up all of the mix-ins into the french pot by hand to create a variety of different sizes of mix-ins, but somebody was very lazy when breaking up my pieces.



I don't know if my crappy iPhone picture can do it justice, but that is an ENORMOUS chunk of dark chocolate. I'd say about 20 grams worth. But hey, I'm not complaining. It was like a mini-chocolate bar mixed in to my ice cream.

[jubjubrsx]

saw this at safeway today cause i was craving some B&J what a clusterfluff, happened to see this safeway gelato thought i'd give it a whirl

money shot


pretty much no mixin's at all except a bit of a cherry swirl in it. gotta say though not to bad light but decent cherry taste throughout but not overwhelming. i'd rate 7.5/10

[MetilHed]

I saw this a few weeks ago at my local Dominick's (Safeway, in some parts of the country). Great rich butter pecan ice cream base, with a nice globby caramel swirl. Plenty of pecans throughout. A nice little twist to the "old" Butter pecan flavor. + Caramel-ey goodness. Solid 8.5 for me. 310cals/half cup serving. Was $3 (not sure if it was a sale or not).

[fldhkybnva]

I had Talenti Roman Raspberry Sorbet tonight and really liked it, probably will finish off the pint tomorrow. If you're into sorbets, this is good stuff - tart, not super sweet and great texture.

Where did you find that flavor?

Consider Buckeye Blitz and Cookie Dough. Both are loaded with cookie dough mixins and chocolate. Best cookie dough I've had

[IrishPilot]

Walmart

Everyone says Walmart has all these great flavors, but I went there the other day and all they had were a few flavors of Breyer's Blasts and some generic crap. No B&J, HD, Talenti, Graeters, etc. WTF?? I guess it was just that particular store?

[handcannon77]

Was looking to pickup the yoplait greek frozen yogurt, but my stop and shop didnt have it. Instead I picked up 2 pints of the stop and shop brand greek froyo.
Just ate the strawberry banana and have black cherry for later.

Id say I was pleasantly surprised, it had loads of frozen strawberries in it, the base was mainly strawberry with hints of banana, maybe could of used a little bit more banana flavor but the strawberry wasnt overpowering.

Oh and was going to pick up the raspberry fudge chunk B+J but the only one I could find was one that some dude had left outside of the freezer, on top of it. Some men just want to watch the world burn...or ice cream melt.

I know here (Chicago) the regular Wal-marts don't have any B&J, but the "Super" Wal-Marts have them, and a much bigger selection of ice cream in general.
