ICE CREAM DICTIONARY – INCLUSIONS
Posted by: Turkey Hill Team
Every now and then we’ll define technical ice cream related terms in a recurring entry we call the “Ice Cream Dictionary.” This one is about inclusions. Speaking of inclusions, it looks like peanut butter cups is leading the way in this month’s poll (in the sidebar on the right). If you haven’t voted yet, feel free to sound off.
The term “inclusions” is just a technical way of referring to all those delicious, chunky, chewy things that are added to plain ice cream to create new flavors. Cookie dough, toffee bits, cherries, chocolate chips, peanut butter cups and assorted nuts are all examples of inclusions.
But as fun as it sounds, the addition of inclusions is actually a very precise process. Visual appeal, the eating quality of the inclusions when they are frozen and shelf life are all considered. Too many or too few inclusions can radically change the composition and flavor “experience” of ice cream. For that reason, we try to keep the weight of these additions to between 10 and 15 percent of the total weight of the finished product.
As for which bits and pieces go better with various ice cream flavors, some are better with vanilla ice cream and some pair better with chocolate ice cream, but it’s really just a matter of personal taste. If you have any ideas for new inclusions, we’d love to hear them. You never know if your idea might become the next Turkey Hill flavor!






If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.

I am not a huge fan of Turkey Hill ice cream (Eddy’s is the way to go), but I have to say, I LOVE PHILLIES GRAHAM SLAM ICE CREAM. I think its sad at this point that I would pay just about anything to get some…It’s amazing…my favorite flavor by far…and I’m a Mets fan!
December 20th, 2007 at 11:03 pmI remember Strawberry Rhubarb Pie ice cream from Turkey Hill when I was younger. I have been looking for it ever since, but to no success.
I do not know why Turkey Hill stopped making this variety but it was very good, very satisfying.
I would strongly recommend bringing back Strawberry Rhubarb Pie (like little chunks of pie included in the ice-cream) again. I think it will sell rather successfully.
December 3rd, 2007 at 12:03 amOoh! Or chocolate-covered espresso beans! Yum!!!
July 26th, 2007 at 1:18 pmAs far as I’m concerned, NOTHING will ever top Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough chunks of inclusions!
But I love to experiment with making my own mix-ins, especially with TH’s reduced-fat vanilla bean (since I do so many taste tests). I always save the last few scoops of my crazy cookie dough batches to freeze and mix-in to some TH ice cream.
One of my favorites I ever made was with a batch of vanilla oatmeal raisin cookies I made - I highly suggest everyone and anyone try this!
Ernie… how about letting me make you some of my oatmeal raisin cookie dough and sending it to you in one of those “cooler bags” for you to try in a batch of TH Vanilla ice cream! I promise you won’t be disappointed!!!
July 26th, 2007 at 1:15 pmis there really an Ice Cream Dictionary?
is it available in any libraries or only at places that make ice cream for profit and fun?
July 23rd, 2007 at 12:36 pmDo try most of the limited editions ice cream. This year love “Eagles”
July 22nd, 2007 at 11:08 amice cream-”add-ins”make it as good as any sundae. Thanks.
Tin Roof Sundae - the best flavor ever! To me it’s almost synonomous with Turkey Hill, since the first Tin Roof I tasted was Turkey Hill.
July 11th, 2007 at 2:55 pmI would love to see an oatmeal and peanut butter ice cream with pieces of peanuts in it. Lets just say that one of those “stone cold creameries” had oatmeal ice cream and I loved adding chunky peanut butter to it.
July 11th, 2007 at 1:53 pmI can not eat ice cream anymore without inclusions. I would love to see chocolate blueberry inclusions!
July 10th, 2007 at 2:22 pmI like red hots in my ice cream!!
July 6th, 2007 at 10:17 pmI love crunched up M&M’s in my chocolate ice cream. It’s simply perfect! My 5 year old Kevin likes all inclusions as long as they may his scoop look more “gianormous” in the bowl as he likes to exclaim.
July 6th, 2007 at 2:16 pmany flavor with choc. syrup and kool whip!!!!!!!
July 5th, 2007 at 7:00 pmThe coconut cream pie was one of my favorites! I’m on my way to the Bi-Lo now to get some ice cream. Turkey Hill is on sale 2/$5 this week. Our stores run out fast only 2 stores in my area carry Turkey Hill. We’ll just have to see what they have left.
July 5th, 2007 at 5:56 pmooo oooo - i just thought of one - SHOO FLY PIE inclusions!!!
July 5th, 2007 at 2:46 pmJody’s right - “inclusions?” Couldn’t we get a little craftier with the word? …but since you asked - GO PISTACHIO!
July 5th, 2007 at 2:41 pmI know I’m in the minority but if I do select a flavor with inclusions (vanilla fudge,chocolate marshmallow, or chocolate cherry cordial to name a few) I feel the inclusion is too overwhelming. I’d prefer less chocolate syrup, less marshmallow etc…
July 5th, 2007 at 12:23 pmI don’t care for the larger inclusions such as the chunks of chocolate. However, I would like coconut - something like coconut cream pie ice cream.
July 5th, 2007 at 11:33 amGiant Eagle has expanded and started carring more of the philly style ice creams mmmm mmm good so far they are my favorite style of turkey hill nothing beats the smooth texture and taste of black cherry I do hope the stores here pick it up soon!
July 5th, 2007 at 12:06 amTurkey Hill is the best even with nothing in it. Once upon a time ago, I had ice cream with pieces of the chocolate cookie from ice cream sandwiches. I don’t remember what brand it was (Turley Hill, maybe?!) but I’ve never been able to find it again. It was sooooo good!!!
July 5th, 2007 at 12:00 amLove the almonds! Knowing that a handful a day is a very healthy thing makes eating ice cream with them less guilt-ridden!
July 4th, 2007 at 9:19 pmI would like to see a new ice cream flavor using almonds (or peanuts), marshmallow, and pineapple topping mixed into chocolate ice cream. This is really the only chocolate ice cream combination that I eat; otherwise, it is vanilla ice cream all the way!
(Sorry for the previous, incomplete comment; I used a “greater than sign” to make an arrow for emphasis on including alot of pineapple topping — apparently the software read it as a “stop”.
July 4th, 2007 at 11:06 amI would like to see a new ice cream flavor using almonds (or peanuts), marshmallow, and pineapple topping (
July 4th, 2007 at 11:01 amI prefer ice cream without hard pieces in it, although the pieces in Southern Lemon Pie melt in your mouth. This is one of the best ice cream flavors, right up there with Party Cake!!! I can’t wait for the lemon and mango Gelato combos to get to my stores. Right now we only get the cherry and I find that one much too sweet.
July 4th, 2007 at 9:25 amOf the most important “inclusions” to my otherwise “plain” life, Turkey Hill Dairy ice cream is one of the additions that have helped me have a happier life.
July 4th, 2007 at 9:07 amThe thought came to me that perhaps you could make a flavor like the Dusty Road sundaes, by putting fine malt dust in vanilla ice cream. Seems if you can add all the other luscious add-ins maybe you could do this too. Frankly I think Turkey Hill can do just about everything.
July 4th, 2007 at 12:57 amI love turkey hills ice cream,but I love to put whipped cream on it and a cherry on top and sometimes a little syrup and crushed peanuts. yum.
July 4th, 2007 at 12:46 amCoconut….I am a coconut nut. I had some Coconut Cream Pie Ice cream a while back and it was out of this world. I also had one that topped it, it was Coconut Pecan. Oh my goooooodness. I hope they have Ice Cream in Heaven because I sure think it should be. Particularly the Coconut Pecan.Oh I think I need a snack………
July 3rd, 2007 at 11:31 pmI just love my turkeyhill ice cream.i have a bowl of turkeyhill everyday.Just love it
July 3rd, 2007 at 6:45 pmGod bless your no sugar added flavors!
July 3rd, 2007 at 6:42 pmGod bless you for the delicious no sugar added flavors!
July 3rd, 2007 at 6:41 pmThe best inclusions are nuts covered in chocolate - like Tin Roof Sunday. My family eats at least 2 gallons a week.
July 3rd, 2007 at 4:45 pmI wish Turkey Hill would make a Strawberry Rhubarb Ice Cream. The combination makes a great pie, so why not ice cream? Little pie crust chunks would be a nice inclusion.
July 3rd, 2007 at 3:26 pmCome to think of it, I may pick up some Strawberry Ice Cream and use my own Rhubarb from my garden. It will take a good deal of experimentation, But sounds like fun.
I used to love inclusions and my husband still does but somehow my tastes changed and I perfer no inclusions. I still love Turkey Hill and stock up whenever it’s on sale. I’d love to see just plain strawberry, vanilla, and coffee.
July 3rd, 2007 at 3:18 pmI love pistachios. Has anyone ever had or made mango ice cream?
July 3rd, 2007 at 2:30 pmI just thought of something. Emma made a point about how many inclusions there are in ratio to the ice cream amount. Sometimes, if Turkey Hill is too expensive compared to some other brands, we get the cheaper brands.
If I remember correctly, Green’s makes a ‘white mint’ chocolate chip ice cream. It’s not as good as TH’s. When I finish my bowl, there’s always some chocolate slivers left. It’s awful! But with TH, there’s usually none left. I *HEART* Turkey Hill!
Mint Chocolate Chip fans unite!!!!!!!!!!
July 3rd, 2007 at 1:45 pmMy choice would have to be chocolate fudge. When I get a carton with thick ribbons of fudge throughout I just let out a great big sigh. Yum Yum
July 3rd, 2007 at 12:42 pmMy inclusion choice of pecans wasn’t very popular. I once saw a personality link with different flavors of ice cream. I remember that butter pecan was the favorite ice cream of conservative people. Had you ever heard of that survey?
July 3rd, 2007 at 10:09 amYummy last night me a couple of girlfriends we decided to make a grown up treat.
July 3rd, 2007 at 10:05 amI took Turkey Hill coffee icecream and a little Kalua and put it in the blender with some ice. We topped it with a little whipped cream to make an out of this world frosty treat for ourselves.
Ok, who can resist ice cream???
July 3rd, 2007 at 9:53 amNot me — practically every night before bedtime. Turkey Hill, what a sweet job you have making everyone happy!!! (especially me)
You guys are putting our flavor development team to shame. There are so many great ideas in these comments. I hope the team is paying attention. (Just in case they’re not, I’ll forward your ideas their way.)
July 3rd, 2007 at 9:36 amAs a healthy treat I love the vanilla frozen yogurt topped with a fresh blueberry sauce that I make.
July 3rd, 2007 at 9:19 amI like the whitehouse ice cream but find it very hard to get
July 3rd, 2007 at 8:59 amI love inclusions! I would like to see more inclusions available in a coffee based icecream. I think Turkey Hill does a very nice job with balancing inclusions/ice cream, but I would go for the 15% variety in stead of the 10% if I was choosing.
July 3rd, 2007 at 8:58 amWhoopie Pie is one of your very best! How about making it available all year long?
July 3rd, 2007 at 8:43 amChocolate Peanut Butter Cup….mmmmm mmmmm GOOD!! I don’t need it; but I WANT IT!! It’s the best!
July 3rd, 2007 at 8:39 amTurkey hill is great, but it is difficult to get a variety of flavors in Manhattan. Gristedes and Associated Supermarket carry a limited selection often limited to 3 flavors, with one of them a sorbet. Complaining to the manager doesn’t really help. Is there another supermarket in New York City.
July 3rd, 2007 at 8:01 amAs both of my children are allergic to all nuts I enjoy my Turkey Hill without the nuts. Their favorite is cookies and cream.
Have you ever thought of combining caramel and peaches with vanilla ice cream or yogurt?
I remember bubble gum ice cream. We would use it to make root beer floats.
July 3rd, 2007 at 7:38 amI like raisins, yellow raisins and how about blackberries.
July 2nd, 2007 at 11:26 pmPeanut butter cups and chocolate are the best inclusions. Moose tracks is the best!
Happy Ice Cream eating!!
July 2nd, 2007 at 11:03 pmI THINK ICE CREAM WITH COOKIES INSIDE IS THE BEST. TURKEY HILL SHOULD MAKE AN ICE CREAM WITH VANILLA COOKIES ON THE INSIDE INSTEAD OF THE CHOCOLATE. THAT WOULD JUST MAKE MY DAY.
July 2nd, 2007 at 10:50 pmThis website brought back great childhood memories. My favorite inclusion was bubblegum ice cream. I would go to my Aunt’s parent’s Velvet Freeze and have bubblegum ice cream cone. I would save all the gum pieces on one side of my mouth and once finished the cone, I had another treat to enjoy. It would be great to bring the bubble gum inclusion back to the East Coast so all children (young and old) can enjoy it. Thanks for the memories…. !!!!!
July 2nd, 2007 at 10:36 pmI love Cookie Dough Ice Cream. I also love Chocolate Ice Cream with just about any inclusion you can name. I do miss Death by Chocolate. Here’s a suggestion: Pistachio Ice Cream with Cherries. LOVE IT!!! If it were light, it’d be even better!!!
July 2nd, 2007 at 10:27 pmP.S. Your Green Tea Mango Frozen Yogurt Smoothie ROCKS!
Has anybody thought of this….If you have gone to Golden Coral Buffet, which means that you already do like to eat…at the Ice cream dispenser, they also have raisinettes. If you mix them into the vanilla Ice cream, it is a pretty doggone tasty treat…….MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMyum
July 2nd, 2007 at 10:22 pmThere’s nothing like vanilla with fresh sweet spring strawberries. YUMMMM!!!!!
Course, I love the cookie-dough, too. And if you pile it high with rainbow sprinkles - I am a kid again!
July 2nd, 2007 at 10:21 pmBeleive it or not I am a big anti-inclusionary fan. I enjoy just ice cream. Plain old vanilla for me. actually philadelphia vanilla. Four basic ingredients and no preservatives. I’ve moved to Vermont from philly and turkey hill beats ben and jerry’s hands down. I’m teaching all the vermonters what real ice cream is all about, also gelatti’s….thanks for all the great ice cream turkey hill
July 2nd, 2007 at 10:16 pmMy favorite inclusion would be whatever is in the ice cream I am eating at any one given moment. If I could I would try all of the flavors and all of the inclusions!
July 2nd, 2007 at 10:15 pmTurkey Hill ice cream rocks. It is by far the best ice cream on the market. I like the chocolate peanut butter cup flavor the best.
July 2nd, 2007 at 10:10 pmI would love a “permanent” flavor that had mini caramel ‘cups’ with fudge swirl ice cream.
July 2nd, 2007 at 9:58 pmThe ice cream terminology, it’s like
July 2nd, 2007 at 9:53 pmlearning a new language.
Just finished a bowl of Rocky Road.Wonderful marshmallow and crunchy almond inclusions, swirled into the most awesome chocolate Ice cream. I live in western Pa. and grew up eating Isaly’s ice cream. One of my favorites was toasted almond fudge.(Which doesn’t have marshmallow inclusion) After the Isaly’s ice cream stores closed I could never find any thing close to that flavor until I tried the Rocky Road.(The marshmallow is an added bonus and actually makes it better than the toasted almond fudge I grew Up on. Haven’t had a flavor that I didn’t like.
July 2nd, 2007 at 9:39 pmP.s. Duetto is just awesome. Hope your working on some new Duetto flavors.
I mentioned in a previous blog that Whoopie Pie in ice cream would be great, add marshmallow creme for the whoopie pie filling,soft chocolate cookies, into vanilla or chocolate ice cream. I have yet to find a flavor like it, maybe not everyone knows what a whoopie pie is!
July 2nd, 2007 at 9:00 pmI always buy two kinds of ice cream my husband does like the chocalote ice cream and I do he thinks he can eat mine when he finish with his so I always get the kind he doesn’t like MORE FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:44 pmHi:
I really liked your Fat Free mint choc chip with inclusions. I wish you would consider making it again.
How about a Fat Free strawberry yogurt flavor with strawberries?
thank you. you have a really good product. please continue making fat free flavors.
July 2nd, 2007 at 8:34 pm“inclusions” this is a new word for me…but marshmalow with turkey hill chocolate has got to be the BEST.
July 2nd, 2007 at 6:51 pmGreat ice cream - enjoying with the seasonal strawberries.
July 2nd, 2007 at 6:42 pmI really love your ice cream. I first fell in love with Tin Roof Sundae. The only thing to improve it was topping it with more unsalted peanuts. Now I cannot think of any flavor I don’t love. I really enjoy trying your flavor of the month. Keep up the good work.
July 2nd, 2007 at 6:14 pmI like the nuts and chocolate (though not too much chocolate) in mine. More like a candy bar. My husband likes it plain or with fruit.
I’m still new to the homemade ice cream, but my favorite is chocolate mint made using grasshopper cookies. Yum!
July 2nd, 2007 at 6:07 pmHow About N Cluding Sum “TWIZZLERS N Those N Cluesions !!
July 2nd, 2007 at 6:03 pmYour fat free Chocolate Cherry Cordial is the best flavor ever. It does not taste fat free at all and chocolate and cherries belong together.
July 2nd, 2007 at 6:03 pmI wish that more of the ‘inclusions’ would be added to a rich dark chocolate ice cream. Most things taste better in dark chocolate…especially peanut butter!
July 2nd, 2007 at 6:01 pmRe “inclusions”: I wish my local ACME would INCLUDE Phillies Graham Slam in its freezer. I’ve been listening to Graham Slam ads OVER AND OVER on Phillies radio broadcasts the past two years, but have never seen it in our ACME.
July 2nd, 2007 at 5:54 pmThis is the first time that i have heard “inclusions” I definaltely liek soft rather than hard - If I had to make up a new one woudl be Girl Scout Cookie Mash - Love Samoas - Cookies with Cramel, Coconut & Chocolate Stripe - Mash them in Vanilla Ice Cream - MMM I am pregnant right now so Ice Cream is my favorite indulgence!
July 2nd, 2007 at 5:12 pmInclusions - that is funny!
July 2nd, 2007 at 5:06 pmI really don’t think it will catch on. My husband and my 5 year old grandaughter are big fans of Turkey Hill mint chocolate chip ice cream. I on the other hand love to add cookies or serve vanilla ice cream on pound cake and top it with a little porto.
I was stumped by the word inclusions. Thats a new one for me - i had to really think about it - you know, we are talking about ice cream, the best food around for kids and adults. So, why not just make it simple, easy and not so hard to remember. Mix-in’s, add-on’s, whatever, but make it easy! I just got back from vacation with 3 families and we went out 3 different times to get ice cream. we had to travel 30 minutes by it was worth it. Not once did one of our 20 persons, say - what kind of inclusions do you want in your ice cream!! Sounds too funny! I do love whatever is mixed in ice cream to make it yummy - from cookies to toffee, to bubble gum!
July 2nd, 2007 at 4:28 pmInclusions are the best, lol, I never heard that term before!
July 2nd, 2007 at 4:19 pmSince I’m the one buying the ice cream I buy what I like & one the rest of the family likes. Unless I’m trying once again to stick to a diet then I’ll only buy for the family. I love toffee. I like anything chocolate mixed with vanilla ice cream.
July 2nd, 2007 at 4:08 pmI have 3 favorites that I guess you would say have ‘inclusion’. Your Strawberry Cream, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Party Cake are all fantastic. The Southern Lemon Pie and Philly Craham SLam sound interesting. I have to look for them at my SHop Rite. Keep up the great work!
July 2nd, 2007 at 4:01 pmMy kids love big brownie chunks but it’s toffee pieces for me. Which TH variety has chocolate toffee inclusions?
July 2nd, 2007 at 3:54 pmI have just tried the FF/sugar free vanilla.Compared to Eddy’s FF /sugar free vanila Turkey Hill brand is smokin! Also, the cost is right. thank you Turkey Hill!
July 2nd, 2007 at 3:45 pmI didn’t know what “inclusions” were before this, but I sure do like them!
July 2nd, 2007 at 3:45 pmyou have put pieces of strawberries in but I never seen bananas in it.
July 2nd, 2007 at 3:36 pmI’m sure the addictive combination of salty and sweet is what wins over most people when they voted peanut butter cups as their favorite inclusion. But, me, I’m plain old fashioned when it comes to the natural addition of fruit, especially strawberries - yum! - to creamy, smooth, delicious Turkey Hill Ice Cream.
July 2nd, 2007 at 3:35 pmI would like to add chocolate covered raisins to vanilla ice cream. I love this combo and it is also somewhat a healthy inclusion.
July 2nd, 2007 at 3:17 pmLove the Party Cake Ice Cream, but do we always need pieces of crust in flavors like Coconut Creme Pie? Why not just a Coconut Creme ice cream like Leibey’s Dairy has. (They are in Tamaqua PA!) Or how about Pina Colada, Pineapple and Cocount, JUST Pineapple and Cocount, nothing else included, except for the ice cream, of course! One of my favorite flavors is Cherry Sherbet, can’t think of the exact name right now, but it’s usually a Winter item. The huge pieces of cherries in it are excellent.
July 2nd, 2007 at 3:17 pmWould like to see some more flavors including coconut, without crust or cake!
I’ve got to agree with Michele!! All I need is a spoon. I love trying the new flavors as they come out!
July 2nd, 2007 at 3:12 pmIce cream is the cherry topping on summer,and the bees knees in winter. It’s really good in fall too. Well seeing how July is national ice cream month I suppose it may taste better in the summer… I haven’t tried every flavor of Turkey Hill yet but natiomnal ice cream month certainly would be the month to do it… thank you for making great icecream! The only thing better would be winning a years worth…
July 2nd, 2007 at 3:12 pmI just got Phillies Graham slam ice cream and I have to tell you I am addicted. My husband thinks I am a bit looney because I refuse to get a bowl to eat my ice cream. I get the half gallon and a spoon when the kids are in bed and sit down to pure bliss “ME” time. There is nothing like treating myself to Turkey Hill ice cream!!
July 2nd, 2007 at 3:06 pmWe love to crush pretzels and top chocolate icecream. There is just something delicious about sweet and salty! It is not uncommon at our house to have a handful of potato chips with a bowl of icecream!
July 2nd, 2007 at 3:00 pmABSOLUTLY!! The only inclusion I want with my Turkey Hill ice cream is a spoon. It can be a big spoon or a little spoon. It can be silver, Gold or stainless steel.Plasic spoons can be tricky if your eatting another brand of ice cream that is rock hard, but with creamy Turkey Hill plastic spoons work fine. I used a serving spoon in one moment of desperation while staying at a hotel. I have also used the ice cream scoop (does that qualify as a spoon) when I was alone eatting Turkey Hill and did not want to dirty another spoon. Not recommended. Dont even really need a bowl. Just a spoon!!
July 2nd, 2007 at 2:57 pmThe very best combo so far is: PEANUT BUTTER MARSHMALLOW YOGURT!! But is only available (boo hoo) for alittle while in the winter. I would (and do) eat it every single day.
July 2nd, 2007 at 2:54 pmI am a big Chocolate Mint Chip ice cream fan. I love to do this version:
Put several hand-scooped Chocolate Mint Chip scoops in a smallish dish.
Take Honeymaid chocolate graham cracker sticks and stick them in the far edge in a circular shape.
Take pretzel sticke and randomly place them in the ice cream.
Take (any flavor, although I prefer dark or milk chocolate) M&Ms and sprinkle these around.
Voila!
I live in Lancaster County, so when I go to the local restraunt known for its ice cream (Turkey Hill of course),I wish they had something like this.
July 2nd, 2007 at 2:51 pmChocolate Mint Chip fanatics unite!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for all of your comments. It’s nice to see so many new readers on the Ice Cream Journal!
CJ - You point about the manufacture of ice cream being an art and science is right on. It’s also a lot of fun. Sometimes we forget how lucky we are to be able to do this for a living!
And your follow-up story about your sister is hilarious (even though she probably didn’t think so then).
CAROL - Your idea is interesting. I’d be willing to bet a lot of kids would be reaching for SEVERAL different flavors (I know I would).
July 2nd, 2007 at 2:43 pmI just discovered Southern Lemon Pie in the store yesterday. It’s great! Normally I shy away from the special exotic flavors but lemon sounds “refreshing.” Guess I’ll have to stock up on it before the limited edition ends!
July 2nd, 2007 at 2:37 pmHI, We all turn into little kids again when it comes to ice cream. I find myself looking at the different flavors and wanting 2 or 3 different ones. You make it difficult to choose. I think it would be fun to set up a large table with different ice cream flavors and many inclusions. Invite your employees children in and see what they choose. You may see alot reaching for the same thing. You may come up with a top seller!!… I think I need to get a dish of TH German Chocolate Cake ice cream now. All this talk has made me hungry!
July 2nd, 2007 at 2:03 pmOh, today’s entry also reminds me of a memory from childhood. My parents took us to the local Baskin-Robbins where my sister chose bubble gum ice cream. She collected the bubble gum bits as she ate and used them to blow a huge bubble that popped. She ended up with bubble gum everywhere! In her hair, stuck to her clothes, the car. What a mess. We actually had to cut her hair to get it all out.
So I guess there are good inclusions and bad ones as well ( :
July 2nd, 2007 at 1:58 pmMy favorite inclusion is cake. So, my favorites are any cake based ice cream, with Party Cake being above and beyond all the others. I also really like the ones with marshmallow creme. As for future ideas- I think you have done Shoo Fly Pie, but I’d like to see that again. Also, how about a tiramisu based one with lady finger chunks?
July 2nd, 2007 at 1:54 pmOn the surface it seems as though great ice cream would be simple, but today’s blog article goes to show that, like most things of value, creating truly delicious ice cream is an art and a science.
The only inclusion that I have yet to see that would be the perfect marriage (for me anyway) would be a neopolitan that included sugar wafer cookie bits. I LOVE sugar wafers (the waffle crisps with cream/icing in the middle). These cookies would match the neopolitan flavors: chocolate cookie bits in the chocolate ice cream, vanilla in the vanilla and strawberry in the strawberry. It’s would be creamy, sweet and crunchy! YUM!
July 2nd, 2007 at 1:53 pmFor me what about chunks of rasberries in rasberry ice cream like it is done with strawberry. My husband would like walnuts in a walnut ice cream.
July 2nd, 2007 at 1:48 pmI’ll take peanut butter cups any day! When eating Moose Tracks I like to push all my peanut butter cups to the side and eat them in one big spoonful of goodness at the end.
July 2nd, 2007 at 1:47 pmI mostly prefer creamy ice cream with only creamy inclusions
i.e. marshmallows or fudge. We made homemade ice cream yesterday for our party and it was the best ever!!!!!!! The strawberry turned out especially delicious 
July 2nd, 2007 at 1:46 pmTurkey Hill is on sale this week at ShopRite. Stock up! I can’t wait to see which variety my husband comes home with today. He’s a big fan of “inclusions” - although every once in a while plain vanilla is just what the doctor ordered.
