Ice cream connoisseurs, grab a spoon! I'm about to introduce you to some top tier ice cream flavors that you may or may not be ready for.
So here's the scoop...Sorry, I couldn't resist!
1.Ben & Jerry's Brownie Batter Core
Ben and Jerry's has elevated their, already legendary, flavors this summer with something they call "cores". It's so yummy! Some of the other core flavors are caramel and cheesecake but brownie batter is by far the best. It allows you to have your traditional vanilla and chocolate flavors with a sweet, gooey chocolate fudge center. A pint of this after a long day is enough to put anyone in a good mood.
Yes, those are brownie chunks.
2. Talenti Southern Butter Pecan
Okay so technically this isn't ice cream, it's gelato. When I was younger Butter Pecan ice cream was all my parents ate. I hated pecans and this flavor was never sweet enough for me. So I would eat around the pecans and just deal. Not anymore, I've stumbled upon Talenti Southern Butter Pecan and it claims a spot in my heart. This one reminds me of home, when my dad used to come in from work with a carton of ice cream in a brown paper bag. Its creamy goodness swirled with caramel and pecan pieces even satisfies my sweet tooth. This nostalgic, comforting flavor also pairs well with a waffle cone, if you're into that.
Did I forget to mention all naturalingredients?
Hudsonville Strawberry Shortcake
Hudsonville is a rare gem! I saw it twice in the grocery store, bought it once and never seen it again. I'm actually pretty sad, give me a moment. OK. Here's the deal, its vanilla ice cream, entwined with strawberries and embedded with crumbled shortcake! Not to mention it's cheaper compared to other brands because who wants to spend 5 plus dollars on ice cream all the time? With Hudsonsville you don't have to! Somehow this brand brings you quality and quantity so you never have to choose between the two again. Trying this one is a must!
Summer in a sharable carton.
4.Ben & Jerry's Cheesecake Brownie
Ben and Jerry's Cheesecake Brownie combines the two best desserts, cheesecake and brownies!! The ice cream isn't vanilla, its cheesecake flavored...yea I wasn't expecting that either. It's creamy and blended with cheesecake brownie bits. It was love at first bite! Mhmm savory and sweet, giving you the best of both worlds.
Say goodbye to compromise...
5. Talenti Roman Raspberry Sorbet
More like sorbae *heart eyes emoji*. As if raspberries werent good enough, this sorbet adds a hint of lemon giving us an unbelievable balance of tart and sweet. Perfect treat for those hot summer days. It's even amazing as a drink! Super easy too. What you do is grab some flavored tea or ginger ale add a mint leaf and/or squeeze of lime, mix and drink!

Light and refreshing.
6. Haagen-Daz Vanilla
Ok hear me out. I always thought vanilla was too... well vanilla. It was basic and underwhelming. In my mind it was the equivalent of cheese pizza, boring and not what I equate with a good time.This summer I couldn't get away from it and it kind of won me over. Haagen-Daz Vanilla pairs well with other summer treats without being too milky. I had a couple of scoops with a strawberry funnel cake and never looked back. Its great for ice cream sandwiches and just throwing a scoop on top of brownies or shortcakes. So it wins for its versatility, for sure!
Classic is always good.
You should be able to find these at your local grocery store. Treat yourself with any to all of these flavors! You and your summer only deserves the best, right?
