"Oh no, all of this ice cream is going to melt, I better get started! Now let me just take a few minutes to describe in detail half a dozen little spoons for you" 😆
I've found it also helps if you chew one lactaid and swallow another hole, and then chew a third at the precipice of "I'm starting to regret my choices"
I didn't even notice at first, but I thought, "ooh I should take a couple dairy pills, I'm going to be getting into the good stuff in the freezer if I watch this"
Make sure you have the kind where 1 chewable = full serving. 2-3 of those for a full size ice cream treat works well, but I can't take lactaid every day or it stops working for awhile.
@@standdownrobots_ihaveoldgloryis that what’s going on? I feel like lactaid stopped working for me recently. Guess I’m due for a serious break from dairy then 😮💨
I was about to comment this! It may not be up to Morgan's creaminess-standards but definitely the best coffee flavor! It's my gold standard for coffee ice cream. And when it's in the chocolate-covered mini cones? Perfection!
Exactly what I was going to comment!! It’s the best coffee-tasting ice cream I’ve ever had!! I can easily eat the entire thing in one sitting. None of the other brands can compare.
Private Selection goes hard! And it’s not crazy expensive. I used to get that brand all the time. The buttered pecan is also a very awesome flavor from them!
Ben & Jerry's has Brewed to Matter but i havent been able to get my hands on in YEARS even tho its not technically discontinued. Coffee ice cream, chocolate chunks, brownie batter swirl
Ben and Jerry's over does all the extras in their ice creams. Sometimes it is my mood, but usually it's too much. Also the ice cream itself isn't as rich and creamy as I like.
I made my own, heavy cream, wisked in stand mixer till still peaks, sweetend condensed milk, add 3 or 4 shots of espresso, blend into milk, add to whipped cream and fold in, pour into container and freeze, and enjoy, so yummie
Can you provide some measurements for that so I can try replicating it? I'm afraid that, without them, it'll be an absolute mess due to lack of experience on my side 😅
I''ve also done a coffee ice cream. I have had success warming the milk and cream with sugar and ground coffee, letting that cool over night in the fridge and then straining out the grounds before churning. Lovely coffee flavor.
Morgen, if the lactaid doesn't work well for you you could have an issue with milk protein! My son was very intolerant of milk proteins when he was young. I only figured it that when he ate a bag of chips that had lactose in the flavoring and he didn't get sick. Some times such an intolerance can be over come by removing the protein from your diet completely for a few years then slowly reintroducing it. Good luck.
My mom and I are OBSESSED with the Trader Joe’s Coffee Bean Blast! We are picky as hell when it comes to coffee ice cream. It has to have a strong coffee taste. For many years, it was Edy’s Espresso Chip, but it was either discontinued or something. We couldn’t find it anymore where we lived. There were many years of mediocre coffee ice cream in between. Then, Trader Joe’s came to our area and coffee ice cream nirvana dawned. Angels sing every time I eat it. 😂 🎶
It's really too bad you couldn't find Ben and Jerry's Coffee, Coffee Buzz Buzz Buzz. I've tried a number of the same ice creams you did and it blows them all out of the water. It's a really good coffee ice cream but has these fudgy coffee bean pieces in it. The strong bitterness of the coffee bean pieces coupled with the sweetness of the ice cream are so well balanced and incredible.
As someone else who would be in pain making this, talenti has a dairy free cold brew sorbetto that lowkey changed my life. No chocolate chunks, smooth texture. Highly recommend 👌
Lifelong coffee ice cream lover here...my #1 currently is Mauna Loa's Kona Coffee Macadamia Milk Frozen Dessert, such richly intense coffee flavor! Also a big fan of McConnell's Coffee ice cream with crushed espresso beans.
Private Selection all day! Their Pistachio Honey and Double Vanilla ( a great vanilla is hard to find ) are keeping with their coffee ice cream standards. Love this testing!
I am an American expat, and I hate the cost of Haagen Dazs where I live ($10 a container), but I do indulge in the coffee and salted caramel at times. Half a spoon of each eaten together and you have a decent caramel macchiato taste to enjoy in the evening without worrying about not being able to sleep. 😋
@@lisanguyen6324 Unfortunately there is a very limited number of flavor options available where I live. A pint of the coffee and a pint of the salted caramel adds up to a significant amount, so it is a small luxury, but i do make it last as long as possible. lol
My go-to is Cedar Crest's Daily Grind. I assume it's regional, made in Wisconsin. Great coffee flavored ice cream with caramel and lightly chocolate covered espresso beans mixed in.
I literally clicked on this video just to see your opinion on Straus. I got some the other day and the creaminess is soo good! Probably the best I’ve ever had from a grocery store.
Spotting Umpqua and Tillamook on the bench makes this dislocated PDX native very happy. I can get (some) Tillamook flavors where I'm at these days, but Umpqua is pure PNW. ETA: As a side note, do they not make the Stumptown cold brew gelato anymore? That one was by far my favorite coffee ice cream for a long time. Even better at the visitor's center on the coast! Also, you can get Private Selection at Safeway as well as Freddy's. Or at least, you used to be able to.
I miss Umpqua and I have to search for Tillamook where I am now, but at least I can get Tillamook still. Tillamook is by far my favorite brand but Umpqua had a couple of really good ones I wish I could get again (they have the best chocolate peanut butter I've had).
Hello Tillamook employee here! Unfortunately the gelato and frozen custards got discontinued 😭 I loved the cold brew chocolate chip custard so much. Tillamook definitely has the cleanest ingredients and creamiest texture is comparison to other brands.
@@daphnescott oh nooooo! That makes me sad, but better to know so I’m not searching for them every time I go to the store. Thank you for sharing the info!
@@DarkTerrex admittedly, it’s rhetorical Umpqua Peppermint Candy for me. I don’t love the candy chunks in any peppermint ice cream, but theirs is a good ratio and the ice cream is actually a great level of mint that manages not to edge into toothpaste territory. It’s a treat on the rare occasion I make it back home now.
The Private Selection Coffee ice cream has probably been my go-to ice cream for the past couple years, its always super tasty and creamy and never disappoints. It always feels "right" as a Coffee ice cream.
I love coffee ice cream. My favorite to date is McConnells. It has the most intense coffee flavor of all I’ve tried. I’ve only ever seen it at Target in my area and I usually don’t get it at $11 a pint. But I indulged myself once because I heard it was the best. And it was amazing! Now I want coffee ice cream. I’m going to put Private Selection on my shopping list! Thanks for the video Morgan! P.S. Chewable Lactaids are the best!
wishing you and your lactaid lots of luck after this experiment. i'm not even dairy intolerant and my stomach hurts just looking at all those ice creams. also, private selection is at metro market and pick n save stores (both are also owned by kroger) so if you're looking for it and don't have a fred meyers nearby those are some other places to find it
If I ever get to meet Morgan at a future coffee expo or trade show, I’ll be bringing along a giant box of Lactaid. It’s my way of saying thank you for your service😂 I shall consume double pucks tonight in their honour!
Core memory for me is when I was 11 (in around 1998 I think), visiting the US for the first time (I am in the UK) and trying Ben and Jerry’s Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz Buzz. It was the first time I’d tried anything coffee related and that ignited my love of coffee flavour things, and later on, coffee. I remember it was just coffee ice cream with dark chocolate pieces in (I think).
It's always nice to view your videos. 1. You're pretty and upbeat. 2. You're analytical. 3. You're friendly, yet sensible and fair. This was more of that, which is great. My only peeve is leaving the ice-cream out on the bench for so long! I like to keep my ice-cream in the freezer as much as possible, so get it out, quickly scoop into a bowl/cone, then quickly put the ice-cream back in the freezer. I was stressed out, a bit, seeing the ice-cream just sitting there on the bench the whole time!
I felt the same way about the ice cream, but there had to be presentation to keep viewers attention. Otherwise Morgan may have had to edit in pictures of the labels while trying them. Also all the label paper tearing sound scrubbed at my brain with tinfoil. Not a fan of certain sounds. Still very much enjoyed the video.
this video could not had come at a better time, i ate my first ever pint of talenti coffee chip last week and loved it and now i'm on a coffee ice cream and talenti adventure
Private selection is a store brand so its slept, on but people are missing out, its good creamy icecream. Pistachio-Honey and Coffee have been one of my faves.
Love coffee ice cream! I always felt there was never a more perfect flavor. As for favorites, I have so many! Trader Joe’s brand, black ring coffee from Long Beach creamery, Mcconnells Turkish coffee , and a Texas brand of coffee and cookies . So good!
Thank you for your willingness to endure gastrointestinal issues all in the name of science. 😀 That coffee ice cream from Private Selection is dang good. Years ago, a small ice cream shop in Seattle had coffee Oreo cookie ice cream. Guess what I went out and bought to mix in with it? 😂
Great video, enjoyed it a lot!! (smol note on the side if no one has pointed it out yet... the Talenti text was 5.8/10 when you gave it a score of 7.8/10) I wish Graeter's Vienna Coffee was on this list -- if you can get a hold of it, I'd love to know your thoughts on it!
Very fun video thanks Morgan! Made me want to go buy a tub of Connoisseur Cafe Grande, which I haven't had in forever but have very fond memories of. If you can get it over there I'd highly recommend it as an ice-cream in it's own right. It may not be as coffee forward as others but is delicious nonetheless!
First time watcher of one of your long form vids ☺️ This was great! Private Selection brand makes solid products but I've not tried their ice cream YET! Maybe next you can include Blue Bell, Blue Bunny, Mayfield, and Great Value or Publix brand... along with flavors like French Silk, Mocha, Irish Coffee, Cappuccino, and the tea flavors like Earl Gray and Matcha. Looking forward to all of the food reviews :)
here in the philippines we have a brand called Selecta and they have Coffee Crumble flavor. It tastes like Vietnamese coffee turned into ice cream with nuts and chocolate chips 😋
My favorite Coffee Ice Cream has always been Breyers. I also enjoy Cold Stone’s Mud Pie Mojo if I want a real sugar rush and not so much coffee flavor since its has all sorts of mix ins with their Coffee Ice Cream….Oreo Cookies, Peanut Butter, Almond Slivers and Fudge.

I recently added Swift instant coffee to vanilla ice cream and it was superb, best coffee ice cream I've had. I think being able to add quality coffee without adding any liquid content really made it stand out versus adding espresso. I used one packet (5g?) to 200g vanilla ice cream and it was quite strong, which I like, others may prefer a weaker ratio. I let the ice cream soften on the counter for about 15 minutes, folded the instant in for about 5 minutes, then put it back in the freezer.
So obviously it differs by region but in NY theres a brand called Blue Marble and their coffee flavor is so good (as are most of their others) But Jenis is my wife and I's new love
Like everyone else you hooked me with the Lactaid, Thank you for taking one for the team. The Hagen Daz in the final group is the only one I have a chance to find so I am going to look for it this weekend. Thanks for the video Morgan
Private Select makes some surprisingly good ice cream... I don't know if they still have it but they had a green tea ice cream that was amazing when you put a small scoop in a cup and poured hot coffee over it
glad to see haagen dazs so high on your list!! it’s the only one of the top 3 i have access to so i will definitely be trying it. i’ve enjoyed what i’ve had from them so far and they’re not too expensive!
Where is Trader Joe's Coffee Bean Blast? It's the only one I've found that is better than Haagen Dazs. Also, TJ's has the same ice cream in Brownie ice cream sandwiches and mini cones, too- both are fantastic!
Now that you have a dedicated space: any plans for a mini freezer? And I'd love a reverse episode as well where you try to make your own coffee ice cream (and maybe with a lower lactaid dependency for you).
There are a couple there I haven't tried, but I think you are missing the best one. 2 more to add to my list! I don't think it is available outside the midwest unfortunately. Kemps Caribou Coffee Java Chunk ice cream is one of the best. Such a great coffee flavor that doesn't just taste like gas station cappuccino with nice dark chocolate chunks in it.
I remember as a little girl when it was just me and my mother. In our small little apartment enjoying our 2 pint uce creams. I always got blue bell ice cream and my mom had her haagen dazs, she called it her "grown up" ice cream.
As a diabetic, I can't really have any of these. Not without careful planning, and then only a little. So your medicating prior to tasting hits home. I can recommend Rebel Coffee Chip -- its one of those high-fat, low-carb, keto-friendly things. For those of us who don't have the patience to let it rest on the counter for 15 minutes, 20-30 seconds in a microwave works fine.
there was a ben and jerry's coffee and chocolate ice cream that was exclusive to targets that I think was discontinued a few years ago that was my absolute favorite ice cream. I havent been able to find a replacement for it for YEARS so i am very excited to try your recommendations soon!!
I'm not surprised at the winner here. Just the other day I tried Private Selection's brown butter bourbon toffee ice cream and I must say.... I now have a new favorite ice cream and I most certainly was not setting out to change 30+ years of preference.
Talenti is the only "ice cream" i buy anymore. I dont buy it very often at all, but when i feel like treating myself, theres nothing better than getting a few flavors at the grocery store
This was a great episode. What I would like to see or challenge you to make your own coffee ice cream. I've seen people using ice cream machines, like the Ninja Creami, to make their own ice cream. Can YOU make the BEST Lactose-Free Coffee Ice Cream???
I'll have to keep an eye out for different ones to try. I've had Kemp's Caribou Coffee Java Chunk several times and enjoy it a lot, but that's my default ice cream brand anyway
The Talenti One is hands down my favorite of all I have tried. It balances that line of coffee/chocolate/cold sweet treat. Gonna have to hunt some of these other ones down!
Straus and Acme brands were my go to before dairy allergies. I'll have to look for the Jeni brand to try. Currently non-dairy Cado is one of my favorites, the avocado really makes it creamy.
I feel you with that lactaid opening. lol so… now that you have all those ice creams you should do a video showing how to make an Affogato, both classic and see how they turn out with flavoured ice cream…. And as I typed that you said you were going to go make one… lol it’s a sign.
Fascinating! I will say, I make a coffee ice cream to DIE for... and its not the type that requires cooking too! I make it throughout the summer every year (since i got my ice cream maker). I've changed the type of coffee and how I prep it for maximum coffee flavor :D tis a tasty treat!
Morgan…there’s one you did not try and I can promise you that it will blow the rest away. It’s from Trader Joe’s called Coffee Bean Blast. Try it and you will be very pleased.
Ciao bella Espresso Gelato (back from 2010) was by far the most coffee-forward flavor with a great texture. Wegmans (grocery store; if you have one near you) makes a coffee/espresso ice cream that is superb in flavor but has the graininess of the coffee beans included.
one of my fav coffee ice creams is friendly vienna mocha. the coffee flavor is great in a sweet artificial way and the chocolate chunks are nice and big and taste so distinct i always wish i could buy the chocolate separately
A few years ago I had some major digestive issues and while I was in the worst of it, I tried a bunch of dairy ice cream alternatives. Some were ok, but I got tired and couldn’t always get passed the overriding flavor of coconut or sunflower seeds (I don’t really eat tree nuts). I still have some issues, but I mostly just eat the ice cream, takes some tums, and deal with the fallout if I should be so unlucky.
"Oh no, all of this ice cream is going to melt, I better get started! Now let me just take a few minutes to describe in detail half a dozen little spoons for you" 😆
that is the mood I'm here for :-).
Listen, tiny spoons are a Serious business.
I keep thinking: "Put the containers back in the freezer after you taste them!"
Before is probably the bigger issue considering texture was a category
That lactaid in the beginning really made my day 😂
I've found it also helps if you chew one lactaid and swallow another hole, and then chew a third at the precipice of "I'm starting to regret my choices"
@@CandiceLemonSharks I usually take 3 for Ice Cream
I didn't even notice at first, but I thought, "ooh I should take a couple dairy pills, I'm going to be getting into the good stuff in the freezer if I watch this"
Make sure you have the kind where 1 chewable = full serving. 2-3 of those for a full size ice cream treat works well, but I can't take lactaid every day or it stops working for awhile.
@@standdownrobots_ihaveoldgloryis that what’s going on? I feel like lactaid stopped working for me recently. Guess I’m due for a serious break from dairy then 😮💨
Trader Joe’s Coffee Bean Blast is very “coffee forward”. My favorite coffee ice cream by far, but it’s definitely not decaf.
It is the best! The first time I had it, I was BUZZING - and I’m a coffee fiend! 🫨
Ugh yess I was hoping she'd try this
I was about to comment this! It may not be up to Morgan's creaminess-standards but definitely the best coffee flavor! It's my gold standard for coffee ice cream. And when it's in the chocolate-covered mini cones? Perfection!

I first tried coffee ice cream at a fancy steak restaurant with my parents. They were convinced I wouldn't like it, but I was hooked for life
First time I tried it was in the early 80s at a pizza place, Shakey’s Pizza I think.
Private Selection goes hard! And it’s not crazy expensive. I used to get that brand all the time. The buttered pecan is also a very awesome flavor from them!
I got envious part way through the video, and grabbed my PS Southern Butter Pecan from the freezer to eat along in solidarity 😂
Private selections raspberry chocolate slaps 😍
Can confirm, sometimes Kroger has bangers when it comes to store brand foods. Super easy to find too, any Freddy's should have it aplenty!
Coming here to say the same thing! Private Selection ice cream is the best!
Ben & Jerry's has Brewed to Matter but i havent been able to get my hands on in YEARS even tho its not technically discontinued. Coffee ice cream, chocolate chunks, brownie batter swirl

@@heavens00 I love Ben and Jerry's and avoid "icy" ice creams like Breyers. What would you say is richer and creamier because I'd like to try it.
That sounds great. If you can find a sale, I'd try Van Leeuwen or Jeni's. Hagen Dasz is not bad either
I forgot Tillamook! Good stuff.
@@toastynotes I'm a Haagen Dazs addict haha, but sometimes I do just need that Hurrah for Churros flavour that only Ben and Jerry's can supply tho 😋

Commenting for the benefit of the algorithm... And also the bravery of Morgan and that lactaid 😅😅
Coffee Toffee Crunch is the best Ben and Jerry’s
When it was first Coffee Heath Bar Crunch it was my favourite. I haven't had it in a long time, but it's probably just as good.

Private Selection brand makes solid products but I've not tried their ice cream YET!
Maybe next you can include Blue Bell, Blue Bunny, Mayfield, and Great Value or Publix brand... along with flavors like French Silk, Mocha, Irish Coffee, Cappuccino, and the tea flavors like Earl Gray and Matcha.
Looking forward to all of the food reviews :)
here in the philippines we have a brand called Selecta and they have Coffee Crumble flavor. It tastes like Vietnamese coffee turned into ice cream with nuts and chocolate chips 😋
Best start to a video ever.. Very clever Morgan!
As an avid Straus ice cream eater, even not having many of these, I kind of knew already it was going to come out near the top.
I absolutely loved this video. Thank you.
My favorite Coffee Ice Cream has always been Breyers. I also enjoy Cold Stone’s Mud Pie Mojo if I want a real sugar rush and not so much coffee flavor since its has all sorts of mix ins with their Coffee Ice Cream….Oreo Cookies, Peanut Butter, Almond Slivers and Fudge.

thank you morgan i havent even watched the video yet but this is legit smthng i need to know
I recently added Swift instant coffee to vanilla ice cream and it was superb, best coffee ice cream I've had. I think being able to add quality coffee without adding any liquid content really made it stand out versus adding espresso.
I used one packet (5g?) to 200g vanilla ice cream and it was quite strong, which I like, others may prefer a weaker ratio. I let the ice cream soften on the counter for about 15 minutes, folded the instant in for about 5 minutes, then put it back in the freezer.
So obviously it differs by region but in NY theres a brand called Blue Marble and their coffee flavor is so good (as are most of their others)
But Jenis is my wife and I's new love
Like everyone else you hooked me with the Lactaid, Thank you for taking one for the team. The Hagen Daz in the final group is the only one I have a chance to find so I am going to look for it this weekend. Thanks for the video Morgan
You missed my favorite-trader Joe’s coffee ice cream!
Yay first! Just wanted to say I love your content ^-^ keep up the work
This video was so fun to watch! If i may suggest, maybe next ypu could try which ice cream is best for an affagato!
Private Select makes some surprisingly good ice cream... I don't know if they still have it but they had a green tea ice cream that was amazing when you put a small scoop in a cup and poured hot coffee over it
I have positive memories of Telanti Gelato’s from when living in the US, their coffee chocolate chip that you tasted was a favorite.
glad to see haagen dazs so high on your list!! it’s the only one of the top 3 i have access to so i will definitely be trying it. i’ve enjoyed what i’ve had from them so far and they’re not too expensive!
I feel you with the lactaid 😂
It’s like paying your body to let you enjoy what you love.
Where is Trader Joe's Coffee Bean Blast? It's the only one I've found that is better than Haagen Dazs. Also, TJ's has the same ice cream in Brownie ice cream sandwiches and mini cones, too- both are fantastic!
Now that you have endless amounts of ice cream, this is the time to show us different ways to make an Affogato. :D
thank you I’ve been meaning to test every coffee ice cream
I love private selection ice cream! But someone makes DECAF coffee ice cream?! Thank you for going through this for us! Off to buy the decaf one :D
TYFS but no Trader Joe’s Coffee Bean Blast Ice Cream?! It’s the best!
Now that you have a dedicated space: any plans for a mini freezer? And I'd love a reverse episode as well where you try to make your own coffee ice cream (and maybe with a lower lactaid dependency for you).
My personal favorite is mcconnell's turkish coffee ice cream 🍨 😊
Haven't even started yet but you're doing gods work I need to know this
The Trader Joe's coffee ice cream is easily my favorite- I could eat it any time any place (and then wonder why I can't sleep)
Ditto!
There are a couple there I haven't tried, but I think you are missing the best one. 2 more to add to my list! I don't think it is available outside the midwest unfortunately. Kemps Caribou Coffee Java Chunk ice cream is one of the best. Such a great coffee flavor that doesn't just taste like gas station cappuccino with nice dark chocolate chunks in it.
I remember as a little girl when it was just me and my mother. In our small little apartment enjoying our 2 pint uce creams. I always got blue bell ice cream and my mom had her haagen dazs, she called it her "grown up" ice cream.
My fav of that batch is the Umpqua Espresso Madness - I'm a long time fan of that one.
Trader Joe's coffee ice cream is very good and very coffee forward.
As a diabetic, I can't really have any of these. Not without careful planning, and then only a little. So your medicating prior to tasting hits home.
I can recommend Rebel Coffee Chip -- its one of those high-fat, low-carb, keto-friendly things. For those of us who don't have the patience to let it rest on the counter for 15 minutes, 20-30 seconds in a microwave works fine.
there was a ben and jerry's coffee and chocolate ice cream that was exclusive to targets that I think was discontinued a few years ago that was my absolute favorite ice cream. I havent been able to find a replacement for it for YEARS so i am very excited to try your recommendations soon!!
I'm not surprised at the winner here. Just the other day I tried Private Selection's brown butter bourbon toffee ice cream and I must say.... I now have a new favorite ice cream and I most certainly was not setting out to change 30+ years of preference.
Talenti is the only "ice cream" i buy anymore. I dont buy it very often at all, but when i feel like treating myself, theres nothing better than getting a few flavors at the grocery store
This was a great episode. What I would like to see or challenge you to make your own coffee ice cream. I've seen people using ice cream machines, like the Ninja Creami, to make their own ice cream. Can YOU make the BEST Lactose-Free Coffee Ice Cream???
I need to know where you got your espresso machine! It’s beautiful and I’ve been looking to upgrade!
I just discovered Talenti Coffee Gelato and I DESPERATELY needed this video, thank you very much for your stomach's sacrifice.
My blood sugar went up just watching this. Thanks for doing it!
I'll have to keep an eye out for different ones to try. I've had Kemp's Caribou Coffee Java Chunk several times and enjoy it a lot, but that's my default ice cream brand anyway
The Talenti One is hands down my favorite of all I have tried. It balances that line of coffee/chocolate/cold sweet treat. Gonna have to hunt some of these other ones down!
Straus and Acme brands were my go to before dairy allergies. I'll have to look for the Jeni brand to try. Currently non-dairy Cado is one of my favorites, the avocado really makes it creamy.
trader joe’s coffee ice cream is the best in my opinion, but ice cream to me is always going to be good
I feel you with that lactaid opening. lol so… now that you have all those ice creams you should do a video showing how to make an Affogato, both classic and see how they turn out with flavoured ice cream…. And as I typed that you said you were going to go make one… lol it’s a sign.
I have Ben and Jerry’s “coffee toffee bar crunch” in my freezer and it is grand! Wish you had it local to you!
Fascinating! I will say, I make a coffee ice cream to DIE for... and its not the type that requires cooking too! I make it throughout the summer every year (since i got my ice cream maker). I've changed the type of coffee and how I prep it for maximum coffee flavor :D tis a tasty treat!
Trader Joe’s coffee ice cream is the best! ☕️
Morgan…there’s one you did not try and I can promise you that it will blow the rest away. It’s from Trader Joe’s called Coffee Bean Blast. Try it and you will be very pleased.
Ciao bella Espresso Gelato (back from 2010) was by far the most coffee-forward flavor with a great texture. Wegmans (grocery store; if you have one near you) makes a coffee/espresso ice cream that is superb in flavor but has the graininess of the coffee beans included.
one of my fav coffee ice creams is friendly vienna mocha. the coffee flavor is great in a sweet artificial way and the chocolate chunks are nice and big and taste so distinct i always wish i could buy the chocolate separately
A few years ago I had some major digestive issues and while I was in the worst of it, I tried a bunch of dairy ice cream alternatives. Some were ok, but I got tired and couldn’t always get passed the overriding flavor of coconut or sunflower seeds (I don’t really eat tree nuts). I still have some issues, but I mostly just eat the ice cream, takes some tums, and deal with the fallout if I should be so unlucky.
I relate to you taking Lactaid before eating or drinking anything with lactose. That thing is a life saver 😂
