    Do you like ice cream? Or do you prefer a refreshing sorbet? or maybe a gelato or frozen yogurt? I know it’s snowing here but that doesn’t matter. I love ice cream. I have to admit I miss cruising because of the desserts. The ship would always serve ice cream or sorbet, and they would be very unique flavors. And for this reason I would usually get three scoops all different flavors to try. I don’t think I have a favorite flavor, but I don’t really care for minty ones. I do really like jamoca almond fudge, which hubby thinks is an abomination but he hates coffee. I just bought some peach ice cream to go with some peach wine I found this weekend at the grocery store. I will be back with my full report sometime later to tell you how they taste.

    Do you have a favorite flavor of ice cream (or other frozen treat)? Least favorite? Do you prefer one type over the other? Or can you take it or leave it?

    Let us know!!!

    I love all kinds of ice cream. I think my fave is Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey - banana ice cream with chocolate chunks and walnuts - but I love a good strawberry as well.

    I also love coconut, and at our local frozen yogurt shop, I'll get coconut ice cream and top it with dark chocolate chips and shredded coconut. So good!

    My step-mom works for a food distribution company, so she gets samples. There's a company called High Road that has the most amazing hand crafted ice cream. We had a sampler party one night.

    Ice cream is not a treat I would purposely choose over other treats but there is a local ice cream place that I love & we will go through the drive-through every once in awhile to pick up a few pints.

    They have a walk-up location that closes for the winter (which makes sense to me) but their new second location, which has inside seating, has also closed for the winter and I'm still trying to figure that one out?!

    My favorite kinds of ice cream have chocolate in them: chocolate chip cookie dough, brownie, mint chip, peanut butter + chocolate.

    Unfortunately, I love ice cream. :lol I have an equal love for both regular ice cream and frozen custard! My favorite flavor is Chocolate Peanut Butter and I like to get milkshakes made with that flavor along with a banana blended in! SO good!! Some other favorite flavors of mine are Cookies & Cream (or Oreo), Mint Chocolate Chip, Black Cherry, and Coffee. There is a flavor I love but it is hard to get...there is one place near my aunts house (a little over an hour away) that has it sometimes and that is teaberry! :drool I wish I was able to get it whenever I wanted it :( Most people have never even heard of it when I mention it :shrug

    I do love ice-cream and sorbet, and yes miss cruising and the ice-creams and sorbets available there too. So much.

    I adore my sorbets tart, pallete cleanser style.
    Creamy ice cream, more is definitely more in my book. Coffee, chocolate, rum and raisin, peanut butter. Love them all.

    I like ice cream on occasion. My fav flavors are chocolate and mint chocolate chip. I LOVE Nutty Buddies or Drumsticks (sugar cone filled with vanilla ice cream, topped with chocolate and peanuts).

    I also love peach sorbet, but it's hard to find. Lately it seems like mango has replaced peach. Bah humbug. :)

    I do love ice cream and frozen custard :) My favorite is mint chocolate chip (and the mint chocolate chip Klondike bars are amazing), but I also love just plain ole chocolate. Oh and chocolate/peanut butter for a shake!

    Being lactose intolerant my iced confection of choice is sorbet. I like all flavours but if I’m near a particular ice cream chain I’ll get their Green Apple Sorbet every time.

    Ice cream used to be one of my favorite things in life and I would eat it all year. Now I only like it in the summer, and not every week. I like Ben & Jerry's dairy-free flavors. They're as creative as their regular ones. I've liked all the ones I've tried.

    I love ice cream! it's already hot like hell over here, perfect for a big bowl of chocolate and cookies ice cream!! actually there are some flavors that I like but the chocolate ones are hard to beat!
    one that I can't stand is passion fruit. Hate the smell and taste.

    I love it but it doesn't love me. I hate that I can't eat it anymore. I can eat it every once in awhile and in very small doses. I do better with dairy-free - or Italian ices anymore. I rarely eat it anymore. :(

    I LOVE ice cream. My favorite thing to do is have a warm brownie with a scoop of vanilla on top...maybe add a drizzle of peanut butter and whipped cream on top.

    Ice cream is my favorite--well, maybe it's a close second to chocolate! Safeway has a line of ice creams that tastes like the super premium ice creams, so my favorite is their Extreme Chocolate Moose Tracks. It's chocolate ice cream with thick ribbons of chocolate fudge and chocolate cups (like mini peanut butter cups, but without the peanut butter). I also love chocolate peanut butter ice creams with lots of peanut butter. Because these are my favorites, I only buy them on special occasions. I have no willpower around them, so I buy flavors that I like less most of the time.

    My mom went to Baskin-Robbins every day during her last month pregnant with me. I think I can blame her for my love affair with it all.

    Looove ice cream. McDonald's and Chick-fil-A are my fave vanilla cones. Store-bought I love cookie dough, mint chocolate chip, chocolate, strawberry. Klondike bars, ice cream sandwiches... I don't think there's an ice cream I didn't love.

    Sadly I love ice cream way too much. :giggle We love DQ blizzards, but they are super expensive, so when we want ice cream we tend to get some from the store. We also live in a summer tourist town on Lake Michigan so in the summer ALL the ice cream shops are open downtown. We have four of them in a two block radius and will often walk or ride bikes to get ice cream and then walk around downtown eating it. :)

    My husband and I were just talking about a gelato place in our former city. I liked to get a scoop of chocolate and a scoop of pistachio.
