Top 3 Best Ice Cream Flavors (!!!)

I work at Bruster's Ice Cream, so I see, smell, scoop, and eat a whooole lot of ice cream. I can pretty much be considered a conoisseur of sorts. I also believe that those who do not like ice cream do not have taste buds. At all. I understand that there are terrible ice creams (see: Rum Raisin, Pistachio, anything with malt flavoring), but I will highlight the ice creams that tickle my taste buds over any other. I'm getting a craving just thinking about it.

3. Ben and Jerry's Oatmeal Cookie Chunk

Yum, Ben and Jerry's. What a great way to start off a top 3. Ben and Jerry's is committed to not using steroids on their cows, so whenever you pop open a pint, you're getting the freshest stuff possible. Now, I am partial to oatmeal cookies. Without raisins, they're the best gift to mankind, and this ice cream combines it INTO ICE CREAM! What a wonder. The base is sweet cream, which is great, if you've never had it. Different and sweeter than vanilla, it's a great base. Combine it with oatmeal cookies, and you've got the best thing since sliced bread!




2. Coldstone's Berry, Berry, Berry Good

Usually, I combine sweet cream ice cream with strawberries and graham crust, but as for pre-made flavors, this one takes the cake for me. Combining sweet cream with strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries (personal favorite), this ice cream lets you feel good about being bad (I mean, you are getting your antioxidants with those blueberries!). What's even better is that you get to see it made right in front of you, an experience which is essential for a visit to Coldstone.




1. Bruster's Black Raspberry

The first summer that I started my job at Bruster's, I was intrigued by the prospect of black raspberry ice cream. Now, I love annnnything flavored with raspberry, so if you're a raspberry lover like me, you have to check this out. Wonderfully fruity and creamy at the same time, you'll be begging for more and more, but take advantage of this ice cream, as Bruster's only carries it in summertime. I think the time limit on this is one of the greatest tragedies that I have ever faced in my life, but apparently, blackberries can not grow successfully all year. :( But I do a great job of expanding my waistline during the scorching summer months!
