I want to know. I don't care if it's a fancy artisan gelato or just your regular soft serve at McBurger's. Do you have a flavor you like? Perhaps a brand? Perhaps you make it yourself? If you're getting scoops, do you have a preference for which flavor goes on top of the other? Do you like wafer cones or are you a cup person? Any toppings?

I always prefer gelato, and some of my all time favorites are sabayon, mascarpone, anything with rum/berries/sultanas, and choc chip mint. I prefer cup to cone. When I was a kid I used to love the soft serve cones but as I grew up they started making me sick so I avoid them now.

Pistachio gelato, any brand will do.

Mmm yes I also love that one

Tbh vanilla from a very specific small ice cream shop in Germany. I don't like vanilla from pretty much anywhere else, there are good flavours in other shops but when I'm visiting my parents I have to go there and get the vanilla. Maybe it's nostalgia but it's my favourite and I don't know what to do if they ever have to close.

Maybe they have really good vanilla. I think vanilla is underrated as a flavor in general, and making a good one requires really high quality ingredients because it's such a subtle flavor.

Which one is it? I was spoiled by Kaffeehus in GΓΆttingen. I usually take straciatella or chocolate but there it must be vanilla.

I might as well tell you where I live/my parents live, so I prefer not to say ^^ It's a fairly small village/town

I had one with fresh minced mint + basil along with diced bittersweet chocolate & it went so beyond the average enjoyment of mint chocolate.

lemon. always lemon. if i get more than 1 scoop, then salted caramel or something with chocolate (like bounty, snickers, oreo, crunchy, dark chocolate, etc)

Important question: sorbet or ice cream/gelato?

I used to be able to get Blackberry Merlot gelato years ago. I haven't had it in years, but miss it dearly

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

Love when gelato has a liquor or wine in it.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Crushed up cookies/brownies/cake in vanilla ice cream.

I usually have it at events, and once or twice a year on my own. I'd prefer my calories went towards alcohol.

It's a fairly expensive treat, but Jenny's makes a dairy free pint that's coffee sorbet mixed with delightful coconut cream.

The coffee sorbet section is very bright and tangy, unlike any coffee gelato or ice cream I've ever had before. It juxtaposes really well with the creaminess of the coconut cream.

Usually I work on a pint over the course of weeks, having a few spoonfuls at a time. I demolished this within two days haha.
