Who makes the best ice cream? I know it's divisive, but I sincerely believe it's blue bell. Their proportion of milk and butterfat lets a regular serving out of the freezer get melted around the outside, and still frozen/soft solid throughout most of the ice cream. They have the best vanilla and strawberry, and their other flavors are really solid too, like banana pudding, or even temporary stuff like pic related, why aren't there more almond flavored ice creams?

I used to occasionally like them and buy it. Then, LISTERIA. I'll never get past the corporate dishonestly to fail inspection after inspection, and just carried on with people dying just only concerned with $$$ until someone took it to national news. I'll never trust them again. This was over like a year and a half. Plenty of time to do the right thing to fix the issues.

Publix ice cream is my favorite large brand. It is all good and has seasonal flavors too. I like Talenti pistachio and mango sorbet. There's some great flavors in Haagen Daaz, rum raisin and some new boozy and trio kind of things.

This will be a thread where plebeians will defend shitty brands like Ben & Jerry's or Hagandazzzz that charge a fuckton for a pint of their super cool, way too complicated or far too simple ice cream (respectively).

Blue Bell makes fucking good ice cream that ain't that absolute best, but it's very good every time and you can get a half gallon of it at HEB for slightly less than $4. Not only that, but they come out with real cool flavors and combinations that aren't decided by stoners' whose tastebuds don't work anymore.


Remember, Blue Bell is so good that people fucking died and the rest of us counted down the days until it came back. They even limited the number of tubs you could buy after it came back.


They're doing something right out there in Brenham.

My gold standard. The first ingredient is always "cream". The "Oregon Dark Cherry" is absolutely fantastic; the Strawberry is solid. The Marionberry Pie has little crust chunks in it, which is cool. The Huckleberry flavor (not pictured) is also good, probably above Strawberry but below Dark Cherry. I am eating the Birthday Cake flavor right now and it is definitely better than an actual birthday cake. Has little sprinkles and stuff in it, which I guess is a nice touch. It's wonderfully rich, but I wouldn't probably repeat it as a purchase.

>>14296546
No complaints. I just finished a tub of their "Classic Lemon Bar" flavor last week, and it pushes the envelope on what ice cream can be. Highly recommended. Their cherry flavor is a little below Tillamook's though.

>>14296431
Agreed; the "layers" line of gelato is a much better value than the standard flavors.

>>14296575
I had the Ben and Jerry's "Cherry Garcia" a few weeks ago, and it was definitely very tasty. I agree that it is too pricy for a regular option though.

>>14296412
I will keep an eye out for this if it is above Tillamook, although I would pass if they only have vanilla for some reason.

I wish I could enjoy food like this again. I would trade being able to enjoy anchovies, coffee, and strong cheese for being a child who loves chef boyardee and lunchables again.

Looks great, anon. Thanks for the play-by-play. I'm impressed by the results that machine can generate. No eggs, either? Wow. I'm sold.

I was thinking of trying a recipe with eggs but the instruction manual had a bunch of recipes that don't require them which I wanted to try out. The results are very good, better than most store bought with the exception of Haagen Dazs and their peers. I'm not sure the extra effort would be worth it tbqh. Although I want to make my favorite, Mint Chip next and will be steeping fresh mint in the milk and using Andes Mints so I may go all out for that batch and see if it's worth it. Kitchenaid makes a similar Ice Cream maker that produces a full half gallon which would make the effort much more worth while than the 5 cups or so the Cuisinart produces. But it was only $10 so I can't complain.

If you live in Ontario Canada its Kawartha Dairy Ice Cream, if not Ben & Jerries.

I do have fond memories of Moomers in Traverse City, MI whenever I'd go and visit my grandma.

I do anon. No ice cream is sweeter than that which you make with your own hands. Also I cum in it.
