Best Brands of Vanilla Ice Cream Ranked Worst to Best
Richness: This ice cream was neither very creamy nor very light. It was one of the lighter tasting ice creams, which made it very easy to eat a lot of it without much thought but when you tasted it, it tasted more like ice milk than ice cream. If you want to make an ice cream cake or an ice cream pie, it’s a good ice cream to use.
Price: Moderate. Depending on the store it ranged from $4.99 to $5.19 for 1.5 quarts (48 ounces).
3. Friendly’s… Most Affordable Creamy Ice Cream
Two brothers in Massachusetts saw an opportunity during America’s toughest downturn and opened a restaurant in 1935 selling double scoops of ice cream for an affordable 5 cents. Friendly’s has gone and is still going through many bankruptcies, but this company’s ice cream has been, and remained, in stores since 1989.
Flavor: The first thing you taste is milk followed by a fast flash of vanilla. Though the base has a yolky yellow hue, it doesn’t have a custard flavor. With each spoonful, you got the same sequence of flavors: milk, vanilla, sweet.
Texture: This ice had a creamy middle-of-the-road texture. It always felt a little stiff to lick and to get a spoonful of the ice cream, you had to dig into it!
Richness: It’s easy, almost too easy to eat a lot of this ice cream. Where it doesn’t succeed in vanilla flavor, it passes with easy eat-ability. It’s neither light nor heavy, so this ice cream is addictive to eat!
Price: Similar to Breyers, it was moderately priced, if not a little cheaper ranging anywhere from $3.20 to $5 for 1.5 quarts (48 ounces).
