    @pancakerunner That's amazing! Scotcharoos were a go-to dessert in my house growing up but I've never run across anybody else who even knew what they were, much less an ice cream flavor!

    I'll stick with making a protein ice 'cream' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7qPpo8edj8)

    I don't necessarily make this exact one - the ones I usually make range around 50 calories for a huge huge amount!

    Same here!

    Okay yesterday was the first time that I actually ate a whole pint of Chunky Monkey. Good thing I cleared calories for it.

    I only eat Jeni’s or Graeters. Everything else tastes subpar in quality.

    The stores were almost completely wiped out of ice cream yesterday due to the heat wave. But I scored some Breyers Carb Smart Vanilla and happily indulged.

    Ben and Jerry's Phish Food is one of my favorite indulgences. I love the Nestle drumsticks for individual portions. And Ben and Jerry's has a seasonal flavor out right now called Glampfire Trail. A little bit of saltiness mixed in with the sweet!

    I just have to say I love your cat! 😻

    To keep on topic, I really wish I could find Edy's (or any) Spumoni. I love Spumoni and can't find it anywhere these days.

    I was very disappointed in a local ice cream shop that I've always loved. The last batches of Peppermint Crunch and Chocolate Peanut Butter were very disappointing.

    Trader Joe's ice cream is very good.

    After last night's chili, I ended the night with a bowl of half-chocolate, half-vanilla. I justified it as dairy to help offset the spices from the chili to prevent heartburn during the night. Must have worked, too, as I slept just fine through the night without any burning sensations!

    I miss the Kroger mixed ice cream bar, where the layers were chocolate cookie - vanilla ice cream - chocolate ice cream - graham cracker cookie, all for under 150 calories. Loved the blazes out of them last summer, but haven't seen them in stores since.

    Tillamook is my favorite brand wise...I'm pretty basic when it comes to flavors...pretty much old fashioned vanilla and/or strawberry. Some of the stuff out there just has too much going on for my taste buds.

    It's vanilla with chocolate crackle and mini peanut butter cups.

    Had another Magnum Mini this afternoon when the heat was at it’s highest this afternoon. So so soooooo good. Took my mind off my melting brain for a few minutes anyhow.
    All logged and accounted for.

    My husband and my boyfriend also were treated to one. Lucky the box only had six. Three yesterday, three today. Box empty. Tomorrow’s forecast is for much cooler weather.

    We made some homemade rocky road for Father's Day. Adding in all of the fillers meant taking some chocolate ice cream out to make room. For me, plain homemade chocolate ice cream is simply kryptonite. My daughter is dairy free and made some sorbet with black currants and raspberries that was awesome too.

    And whoever mentioned Magnum bars, OMG. YUM!! Those are a total treat. How great that they come in minis?? :heart:

    My husband has some issues with dairy, but loves ice cream. So, I've been trying to find the best dairy-free options.
    He likes the ones made with almond milk much better than the coconut milk ones.
    So far, he likes the Magnum dairy-free bars best...but they are pretty expensive.
    Trader Joe's has a decent dairy-free vanilla pint that is made with almond milk...all their other flavors use coconut milk.

    Anyone else found some good dairy-free options?
