Vanilla ice cream can get a bad rap as the least exciting flavor available on the aisle. But that's an unfair assessment considering that a classic taste shouldn't be confused with a bland one. At least, that's what quality producers of vanilla ice cream prove. In truth, if you've been underwhelmed by a scoop of vanilla, it may be because the brand wasn't delivering all that rich floral flavor that a vanilla bean can bring. Sure, you could make excellent vanilla ice cream at home, but I promise there's still quality brands dedicated to producing a classic cup of supreme vanilla.

Poor Breyers used to be good.
Haagen Daz number 1, no surprise.

[stanne]

Which is best? Haagy’s

[beethovenfan]

If you can afford it.

[daler]

If Ben & Jerry’s was the only ice cream available, I’d switch to popsicles.

They were bought by Unilever.

Every company bought by Eurotrash become trash.

Nothing beats Blue Bell

I am all in on Häagen-Dazs Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, especially if I can throw it on top of a slab of homemade banana bread, buttered, and grilled over charcoal!

[rlmorel]

My favorite is Häagen-Dazs Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Vanilla Swiss Almond.

I might piss on a container of Ben and Jerry’s, but probably would just let it burn the container to the waterline. Can’t stand anything about them or their ice cream.

I’m with ya, daler. I’m with ya.

The best Vanilla Ice Cream I’ve had was from Cass-Clay. Used to have that every summer when my family travelled to South Dakota to visit Grandparents.

“Vanilla ice cream can get a bad rap as the least exciting flavor available on the aisle.”

BS!

Vanilla ice cream, even the # 11, is like beige clothing. It goes with anything and everything! ;-)

[FamiliarFace]

Too bad hey don’t have Graeter’s on their list. I bet it would rank in the top 3, if not number one.

[BamaBelle]

I love almost anything Blue Bell but my fav is the Dutch chocolate. I’ll do vanilla sometimes...lol

Second taste test I’ve come across in the last day that has H-D as the best. At the store I shop at it’s $3.99, one of the cheapest premium brands. I think Talenti Vanilla Bean is maybe the best, but it’s $5.79 for 16oz and it’s gelato, so not technically ice cream.
