** Ice Cream Eating Now Official Thread **

[JustX]

Been discussed MANY times in here (Use the search thread function above)

Depends on the base, and what compliments it.

My Fav ---> Cookie Dough, PB Cups, White Chocolate, Fudge/Brownies, Reese Cups, Snickers, Twix etc...

Cheesecake is a very sweet base but good
Cake batter = one of the best
Oatmeal Cookie Batter = My new favorite, my store recently got it so this was my first creation.

Pre-made creations that are solid:
Cookie Dough You want Some
Peanut Buter Perfection

If they have Chocolate Malt -- Try it, very good

Limited Yogurts are very good as well the Banana Bread will surprise you at how good it tastes.

Thanks. I used the search thread bar and thats where I established that I would probably stick with the oatmeal cookie base or the cake batter for this trip. Just curious on favorite up to date combinations. Thanks for your opinions on mix-ins.

You can sample as many base's as you want, so i would recommend doing that. You may be fond of the oreo base, the PB Is good, and some of the others (again will vary from person to person) the mix-ins are endless, get what YOU enjoy. its your taste buds!

Just tweeted this to Chad, but have any of you tried Atlanta Fresh Greek FroYo?

Saw it at Whole Foods last night and the only flavor that stood out to me was the Chocolate Rocket (Mexico City Style Chocolate).

Recent Coldstone Run

Oreo filling base, oreos, caramel swirl, peanut butter cups, cookie dough.

Score = A. (could it be any less lol)

All those Coldstone creations look amazing. I have one down about a mile away from my new place. I've been considering adding them to the blog, but with the endless possibilities I'm not sure how'd I'd incorporate them.

REVIEW: In honor of the yearly festival in Louisiana, here's a review of Ponchatoula Strawberry from New Orleans Ice Cream Company.

This was so amazing, it almost makes the cost of 6 dollars for a box of 3 worth it.

Could just have a user input for favorite combinations, with your own added in.

Chocolate nougat crunch has some crazy swirls:

[blindspot13]

Picked up my 2nd pint of Froyo half baked, I've gone through all the B&J low fat flavors on my cut and half baked is easilly the best. Know of any better lower calorie ice creams that are better than it? Also is the full cal flavor one as good as I imagine it?

Graeter's Cookie Dough Chocolate Chip

Finally got around to my last pint of Graeter’s in my current freezer stash, hopefully saving one of their better flavors for last (doubtful it could take down Chocolate PB Chocolate Chip as my #1 for Graeter’s). Although it didn’t beat out Choc. PB Choc. Chip, this pint is easily the runner-up for Graeter’s flavors I’ve tried. Cookie Dough is a classic flavor that I have not sampled since I had B&J Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (well over a year ago), therefore it really hit the spot. I still can’t get over how good their vanilla base ice cream is, as it easily beats out B&J’s vanilla base IMO. Anyone who has had Graeter’s doesn’t even need to be told about their mix-ins as they never disappoint! With cookie dough and chocolate chip mix-ins found everywhere, this pint was no different than any of their other flavors. I was even lucky enough to already come across a huge chocolate chip mix-in with more to come hopefully! This pint is easily a top flavor and one I would recommend to anyone.





Final rankings for Graeter’s I’ve had thus far:
(1) Chocolate Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip
(2) Cookie Dough Chocolate Chip
(3) Toffee Chocolate Chip
(4) Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip
(5) Black Cherry Chocolate Chip
(6) Peppermint Stick

Just tried Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz Buzz and it was hnnnnggggg

TCBY Cookie Dough

Caramel Frozen Yogurt

[psychodiver9]

Phin & Phebes Ginger Cookie Snap. C. Base was too gingery and cookie mix ins were small and few and far between. Not worth $8.

Wife got there Banana Whama. Ok. Publix banana pudding was better.

Brand is overall disappoint

Did a double take at the supermarket today when I saw a whole assortment of 2nd Street Creamery pints! Scooped Truck Stop Fudge tonight and it was unbelievable. I'm usually not a huge fan of chocolate as a base, but this worked brilliantly with fudge and marshmallow swirls. The fudge swirl especially was absolutely stellar, unlike anything I've ever tasted in a store-bought offering. These guys are the real deal, looking forward to working through the rest of their lineup.

[Credz]

My pick up today...

My pick up today...

Had a pint of Caramel Cone last week, best thing ever.

Where do you live? I hope it's close to Philly.

On a side note: the power went out for a day at my apartment last weekend and I had three pints of ice cream in my freezer, one of them being B&J CB which I scooped tonight. The ice cream seemed "icy," and off, kind of tasteless....is this normal when a re-freeze happens? I want to scoop PB Cup tomorrow but if this is what happens during a re-freeze then I might buy another pint.

Yup. The refreeze completely and irreversibly alters the texture and taste of the ice cream. It can taste stale or even sour. I'd toss them with haste.

And glad to see more coldstone pics in here. Got another creation today. They gave me too much again, and they had to load the leftovers in another cup for me. I weighed it when I got home and it was 680g (A pint of B&J's is around 450g). Yeah buddy.

No way I would even get remotely close to home without scarfing down a creation from there haha! Props my man..

Lovely, there goes $12, thanks for the heads up though. Nice coldstone score!

Do you just order a "mine" to go? Is that basically a pint (even though they give you more)?

[chillaxbroseph]

I literally go in and say "I would like a pint packed to go please". They have those goofy sizes on hand, but they have pints as well expressely for this purpose.

If you have stewarts nearby I definitely suggest checking out their new flavors pretzelicious and sweet cinn were both winners and the rest seem interesting
(unfortunately not listed on the site I'll see if I can grab a spring flavor menu next time)


Sweet Cinn
This was all win. The sticky bun pieces are crunchy like a great version of captain crunch and that swirl was pretty epic. Unfortunately, they needed more mixins.
A-



BandJ peaches and cream
Unfortunately couldn't win me over with this ice cream. The mascarpone base was creamy but BandJ bases just aren't up to par with other premiums and with a moderate number of peach pieces it was nothing special.

Picture wouldnt seem to rotate correctly, my apologies. But after making conversation with the coldstone girls today, my small turned into a large with extra mix-ins. Ended up going with a sweet cream base, caramel, cinnamon, and pralines. They rarely disappoint over at coldstone and this was no exception.
