Have you tried the Magnum brand double raspberry bars? Holy shit. So good!
those are really good! But for some reason the minis don’t taste the same and the little pint sized chocolate raspberry does not have the right ratio of chocolate to raspberry.
My Ben & Jerrys list would be lengthy on its own! The non-Ben & Jerry's that I crave lately is Hudsonville Bananas Foster, especially topped with warm Sanders Dark Chocolate Fudge topping. Yummmmm.
All of them, except neopolitan. Ice cream is my favorite! If I had to pick one right now eating out I'd go for a A split scoop of Salt and Straws sea salt with caramel and chocolate gooey brownie, cake batter with cookie dough at Cold Stone, or a cookie dough with chocolate core from Dairy Queen, or coffee from JP Licks. If eating from a carton at home lemon cookie from Three Twins or this 3 musketeers flavor Blue Bunny used to have when I was a kid. Or just a good vanilla bean with midnight moo from Trader Joe's.
I love love love sweet cream ice cream from marble slab / cold stone, I usually mix in chocolate chips. I could eat that all day.
Blue Bell Homemade vanilla and Dutch chocolate are my gold standards for vanilla and chocolate flavors, havent found another brand that compares. I don't like vanilla with the beans in it. I also love their mint chocolate chip.
When I make ice cream, I use a recipe that is only 3 ingredients: milk, sugar, and heavy whipping cream 😁. I know I should try the custard method but that seems like it would take a while and be extra work compared to this recipe. Plus it's delicious, and I really love the buttery flavor and richness of cream, so that's pretty much my ideal recipe. I have added mint leaves from my garden to it before, that was good too! and I frequently mix in chocolate chips as well (pretty sure I did with the mint version).
I love the weirdo salt&straw flavors, especially anything on the savory side. My favorite is smoked salt with chocolate crunches. Currently they have a huckleberry with spruce tips that I really like. My standby is olive oil.
For ice cream toppings I make ginger pickled peaches every summer (I've been told this recipe is both Ukrainian and from the American south 🤷🏻♀️). I've thought about making a homemade sweet cream ice cream and swirling this in.
Dirt Cake by a local ice cream maker. It’s super rich chocolate ice cream with crushed up Oreos. It is truly the best ice cream I’ve ever had.
If I’m not eating that brand, probably peanut butter cup or butter pecan (which I used to think was an old person flavor but I guess now I’m old, LOL).
Butter pecan is both insanely delicious and also an old person flavor. My first job was scooping ice cream, and the old people always ordered butter pecan, maple walnut, or rum raisin, and they were the only ones.
Butter pecan is my grandfather’s favorite. This is probably why it’s mine as well. HOWEVER, it is delicious in its own right like you said.

Easy to find, TJs mint chip is so fucking creamy.
Oh man, the Salt & Straw olive oil ice cream is so damn good.
I made an absolutely amazing raspberry ice cream once that was just raspberries and cream and sugar and milk. I don't usually even go for fruity ice cream flavors. (though I wouldn't kick 'em out of bed...actually a peach custard ice cream with a crumble pie crust type thing going on sounds really good all of a sudden. Maybe with some booze in it)
I love a good classic custard vanilla with a thick peanut butter or caramel swirl. Or both. And maybe some chocolate covered pretzel pieces. (I am a sucker for those ingredients. if they're available, I'm eating them)
I also love coffee ice cream. and mint chocolate chip. I like chocolate ice cream, but generally prefer a vanilla base unless we're just going all in chocolate with some chocolate and more chocolate.
Worst ice cream I ever made was lemon. It just wasn't great. Unbalanced or something. Only ice cream I've ever thrown away.
Chocolate Peanut Butter. Which, of course, they don't serve over here in England. Sigh.
lack of peanut butter is a legit reason I don't ever see myself living abroad in many countries. (I mean, that and I have a fairly solid comfortable life here in the type of career unlikely to lead to moving overseas, but also the peanut butter)
Go-to: mint chocolate chip. I am perplexed by people in the thread specifying (green) here. Is there any other kind? Is this regional?
My FAVE is Steve’s BKLYN Blackout in the pint. I ate so many pints when I lived alone. I’d actually forgotten about it until this thread. Getting some tomorrow.
Whatever decent ice cream is in front of me. Unless it's vanilla.
Hong Kong Milk Tea from Humphry Slocombe Brown Sugar Banana from Strauss Chocolate Orange Confetti from Three Twins Passion Fruit sorbet from a local place Cardamom from a different local place (not the Three twins cardamom, bleh) Chocolate raspberry from a different local place Phish Food for Ben and Jerrys Coffee for Hagen Daaz World Class chocolate for Baskins Robbins? (I can't remember what it was called but I think that was a three chocolate flavor back when I was a kid and Baskins Robbins still existed) Mint Chip for Breyers

The Honey lavender is my favorite and I always say I am going to try something else and I end up with that damn delicious purple scoop! I do like the strawberry balsamic black pepper and they had a cardamom rose chocolate one earlier this year that was tasty. Tried the Buttermilk Pancakes, Eggs and Bacon on saturday and it was disappointing.

Good Omens.
..."Do you know," he said, "my cousin said that in America there's shops that sell thirty-nine different flavors of ice cream?"
This even silenced Adam, briefly.
"There aren't thirty-nine flavors of ice cream," said Pepper. "There aren't thirty-nine flavors in the whole world."
"There could be, if you mixed them up," said Wensleydale, blinking owlishly. "You know. Strawberry and chocolate. Chocolate and vanilla." He sought for more English flavors. "Strawberry and vanilla and chocolate," he added lamely.
