    Ice cream flavour suggestions.

    I make a lot of ice cream, at the moment there is a glut of fruit available around here and my go to favourites have been blackberry plus a surprise success in rhubarb! Out of the fruit season things like mint choc chip and vanilla are always popular but I would like to experiment and diversify a bit.

    There are plenty of options available but it would be interested to know what are the favourites here on the forum, I have about 10 go to flavours at the moment but would like to expand my repertoire!

      Peach, vanilla and strawberry. Sometimes to the peach, I add a little peach schnapps just because.....

          My latest batch was strawberry extreme! Made a strawberry syrup for part of the ice cream base. When I am just about the soft serve consistency I added sliced strawberries. Then a drizzled in a ribbon of balsamic reduction.

          and what to do with extra fruit? PALETAS!!!

            In a past life I was a professional! (Lol, not really. Years ago I owned a Good Humor truck.)

            The most popular flavors are popular for the obvious reasons.

            How about cardamom?

            And, one I always really loved was licorice. Licorice is pretty divisive; you either love it or hate it. But if you love it, licorice ice cream is incredible.

            Oh and my other favorite is a copy cat recipe of Tin Roof by Blue Bell. Vanilla base with chocolate covered Spanish peanuts and a drizzle of chocolate fudge swirled throughout.

              I’m fond of banana nut ice cream. We make ours with very ripe bananas and grape nuts cereal. I know it sounds crazy but it’s good with grape nuts cereal. A friend of my mother’s showed her this because she had a son who was allergic to some kind of nut, I don’t remember which one. You’ll be amazed at the taste and texture.

                      Maybe cook down blueberries to really concentrate the flavor?

                      Just planted some blueberry bushes on a couple of acres of land we have, high hopes for next year!

                    Apple pie ice cream is a winner. Spicy chocolate is a favorite. Cinnamon w a baked Apple dessert is incredible. Peach if you still have them fresh also good. Now if you REALLY want to go outside the box this combination- a scoop of each in one bowl together - really works and will blow your mind…licorice and raspberry.

                    I am surprised no one has mentioned pumpkin spice - not even in jest...

                      A scoop of pumpkin spice and one of apple pie ice cream in a bowl sounds like a match made in heaven.

                    No idea but this reminds of that scene from City Slickers!
