Legends of Windemere 
Icecream, lemon custard 🙂 which is incredibly hard to find. Second favorite is a toss up between hagen daaz black cherry or mint chocolate chip (because it was my mother’s favorite ice cream and it’s nostalgic)… i dont really put toppings on my icecream but if I did it’d be caramel or maraschino cherries. I’m allergic to chocolate 😀

Yummy. Hot fudge is cliche anyway. I like melted peanut butter. 😀

XD I had a thing about jam on my ice cream when i was little. my mother used to make blackberry cobbler and jam all in one day (we’d go pick the berries) so we’d always have the jam on our icecream heated up whenever we had icecream. I haven’t had it in ages though. I’ve never tried peanut butter!
LikeLike
Always loved peanut butter, but what you’re describing reminds me of putting strawberry preserves on ice cream. Delicious.

Homemade Ice Cream with a really decadent stir in (like Heath bar). Have a maker and we can really get creative.
LikeLike
I need to get one of those. How hard are they to use?
LikeLike
real easy. They come with direction and basic recipes. Takes about 20 minutes for soft serve and then another two hours in the freezer for hard. We like the idea of natural ingredients as well
LikeLike
That’s definitely a plus. I get the feeling you’ve mastered it to the point the recipes are closer to suggestions.

Ha Ha well you still need basic vanilla. From there you can go anywhere

Banan Split! With chocolate ice cream and the chocolate topping that hardens. As many toppings that will fit in the boat. But there has to be as much chocolate and peanut butter together as possible! lol Of course, this is all wishful thinking on my part since I found out about 10 years ago that I’m allergic to chocolate and sugar 😦 A girl can dream though! Oh, and don’t forget the whipped cream…

Chocolate and sugar? Poor thing. *hugs*

I know it’s crazy! lol I have to get my sugar highs from fruit…cherries (frozen) hit the spot! 🙂

Shaved ice with any syrup is one of my favorite frozen desserts.
I love the ice-creams as well, vanilla being my all-time favorite flavor. But I am not restricted in my choices.. I also tend to like chocolate, butter scotch, coffee, pistachio (yum!) flavored ice-creams.
As for toppings, I don’t really like them but if I get it done, I prefer simple chocolate chips or chocolate syrup.
LikeLike
Honestly, I’ve never had shaved ice before.
LikeLike
Oh you haven’t.. Do try it, if I may suggest.. get both the sweet and sour syrups poured over it. It is plain amazing and on summer afternoons, a great respite from the heat.

I need to find a place around here that sells it now.

Coconut ice cream (lactose and soy intolerant – plus, it’s really really good). If I’m feeling like I can face the lactose, i go for a really rich hot fudge topping and a gluten free chocolate brownie. If I’m going light, Italian ice.
LikeLike
Love Italian Ices when I can get them.
LikeLike
Vanilla frozen custard, roasted pecans and butterscotch topping. When I cant get that, then chocolate with melted natural peanut butter. Neither of which is on my diet plan at present. Thanks for reminding me… 🙂

Guess this post isn’t very diet friendly.

HAHAHA–are you hung up right now on food? I sure am, having not had much in the last 2 weeks. But no worries, cold stuff is horribly painful, so thinking about ice cream is just fine for me! And people’s fav’s are interesting to read.

I was curious to see what people would say. Noticing no sherberts, frozen yogurts, or sorbets in the mix.

We are a fine dining kinda group. Or chunky and haven’t embraced the lighter side. Actually I like strong flavored sorbet, I just don’t often get it. Sherbert is for illness only. Too sweet otherwise.

In Australia, sherbert is Wizz Fizz. And your version of sherbert is called “Sorbet” over here – pronounced sore-bay. I was discussing this with a Canadian friend the other day – if we hadn’t then i would have been so confused as to why you were lumping sherbert in with frozen yoghurt and ice cream!
LikeLike
Interesting. I guess there are different words for these desserts all over the world. I was always told that sorbet had pieces of fruit in it and sherbert didn’t.
LikeLike
I love frozen yogurt, vanilla and strawberry swirled. I hardly ever get it, so it is a real treat. Raspberry sherbert and vanilla ice cream is tied for second place. 🙂
Cool post! (literally! lol!)

Thanks. I like rainbow sherbert if I move away from ice cream.

Rainbow sherbert is good, but I don’t like the orange flavor. 😉

I’m fond of the tears of fallen angels. And Daiquiri Ice, a flavor of Ice Cream I haven’t had since I’ve lived in Berlin, Germany. I miss it soooooo much… That might the reason my sweet tooth has all but disappeared.
LikeLike
It sucks when you find something great in another country, but it isn’t back in the States. Though, the tears of fallen angles aren’t half bad. Not many toppings go with them.
LikeLike
Nope, not too many. I usually use chocolate syrup, though. Mix it up. Throw in a little OJ. Some vodka. Some Rootbeer and vanilla ice cream, and some nuts, and BAM! Angel Tears Root Beer Float.

Nice. I like putting marshmallow fluff and gummy bears on mine. Gummy bears are one of the greatest toppings ever.
LikeLike
Gummy bears as a topping…? Note to Self: Invest in Gummy Bears, immediately.
LikeLike
They’re harden in the ice cream and soften in your mouth, so they last longer than other toppings.

Plain old French vanilla ice cream. I’m good just like that. But occasionally I will add some caramel topping. But just plain vanilla makes me happy. I can go into a place with dozens of choices and I still get vanilla. I’m really not a boring person though.

I’ve noticed that a lot of people are simple with their ice creams. The comfort of cold, creamy simplicity.

Home made vanilla…then I can add just about anything to it for variety…maple syrup and walnuts make a nice topping, cherries and chocolate also…or blue berries and strawberries…just about anything….
