Pistachio
Not too easy to find in the average 31 Flavors these days, but pistachio ice cream has a nice, muted flavor that I really like after eating something rich.
Chocolate
Straight up chocolate ice cream is pretty much a fountain of youth, in my opinion. What flavor would you rather lick off your wrist when it starts dripping down?
Melon
For the hottest of hot days. Melon as a fruit always seems cool when you eat it (like grapes), so in ice cream or sorbet form, it really does the trick.
Chocolate Chip
I felt I needed a variation of vanilla, because at its heart ice cream really should be a simple pleasure, without half a pantry’s worth of graham crackers, dried fruit, cookies, or cake batter dumped in there. The chocolate chips are just enough to keep it from being too….vanilla.
Riso
Ok, I’m cheating here, because I’m referring to a specific gelato in Rome that is made from rice. But I love rice pudding, and this is its creamy, nutty, chewy equivalent on a cone. With a little house-made whipped cream, it’s molto delicioso.

1) Salty Caramel
Instead of extolling the virtues of the greatest ice cream flavor ever, I’ll tell a story. One Saturday years ago, God stopped by Jeni Britton’s ice cream shop to taste her salty caramel concoction. The next week, he stopped again, telling Jeni that her signature flavor was better than anything he had ever created.
2) Strawberry
Of the simple, base flavors—vanilla, chocolate, strawberry—this comes out on top. It’s at its best when scooped with chunks of real strawberries. It gets bonus points for being the best ice cream for a shake.
3) Bunny Tracks
This could easily have been moose tracks or any other animal-track ice cream because each has the same basic combination of chocolate chips, little peanut butter cups and nuts. Bunny Tracks wins out, though, because bunnies are much cuter animals than moose.
4) Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Who hasn’t gorged themselves sick eating cookie dough? Combine that with ice cream and chocolate, and your taste buds will thank you.
5) Chocolate
This is my two-year-old nephew’s favorite flavor, although he has never actually tasted it. Still, I think he’s on to something…
