the dark chocolate didn't satiate it, but the peach crisp that appeared in my oven certainly will.

(2,282 posts)Graeter's ice cream is really tasty. You'll pay a little more for it but it is worth it. It is made in small batches (french pot method) and hand packed. It is hand packed because it is so dense machines can't do it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graeter's
Like most super-premium ice creams, Graeters has a high butter fat content, between 16 and 18%. It also has no air whipped in, and so is extremely dense, which adds to its rich flavor. On her show in July 2002, Oprah Winfrey said: "You haven't had ice cream till you've had Graeter's. The butter pecan is Stedman's favorite, and mine, too." The company was then overwhelmed with 800,000 phone and Internet orders, which overwhelmed and brought down the local Cincinnati Bell phone company switch. Today, Graeter's ships about 40,000 packages of ice cream to fans across the country every year.

Graeters has five generations of experience and it really shows in their super-creamy ice cream. They use a secret recipe for fresh cream and egg custard, and make their ice cream just two gallons at a time using their traditional French Pot process (you can read more about the process here). Their chocolate chips are to die for. They arent chip-like in the traditional sense; instead, theyre pieces (and some of the pieces are huge!) of melt-in-your-mouth delicious bittersweet chocolate that are made by pouring liquid chocolate in just as the ice cream is finishing.
Another brand I really like is Blue Bell. Very good and very reasonably priced. About $1.90 for a pint. Their vanilla ice cream with real strawberries mixed in is great stuff.
