13 Beloved Ice Creams We Hope Return

Some flavors vanish before you realize they were your favorites. You remember the carton, the crunch, the swirl, and suddenly every aisle feels a little emptier. These are the scoop shop legends and freezer aisle icons we still daydream about. Get ready to relive the sweet highlights and root for a triumphant return.

1. Ben & Jerry’s Wavy Gravy

You never forget the first spoonful that tastes like a road trip. Wavy Gravy mixed caramel, cashews, and fudge in a jam session that felt perfectly unplanned. Every bite had a crunchy break, then a melty encore that stuck around just long enough.

Friends passed the pint like a mixtape, promising one scoop and taking three. The label looked like a poster tacked above a futon, faded from sun and stories. If this came back, you would buy two, stash one, and text everyone who knows.

2. Haagen Dazs Vanilla Swiss Almond Bars

Crunch, cream, silence. That was the sequence with every bite of these bars. The chocolate shell shattered in tiny notes, releasing vanilla so smooth it felt like a secret you had to keep.

Almonds added a polite knock on the door of richness, keeping everything balanced and grown up. You kept them hidden behind peas like a personal vault. Bring them back and suddenly every weeknight walk becomes a small ceremony, crisp wrapper, quiet street, and the kind of luxury that fits in one hand.

3. Good Humor Toasted Almond Bar

The crumb coat did all the talking. Toasted almond bits clung to creamy vanilla like gravel on a summer driveway, and you chased every loose crumble down the stick. One bite in and the center turned soft, like the inside of a memory.

Ice cream trucks carried these like lucky charms. You could taste the bell ringing and the sprint over cracked sidewalks. Bring this back and you would line up again, coins sweaty in your palm, certain the world is still simple when the wrapper crinkles just right.

4. Ben & Jerry’s Oatmeal Cookie Chunk

This flavor felt like a warm kitchen in cold weather. Oatmeal cookie pieces swam in cinnamon-spiced ice cream, with chocolate chunks landing lucky every few bites. It tasted homemade without the cleanup, like the pan was waiting in the sink but somehow vanished.

There was balance, not too sweet, not too polite, just comfortable. You could eat it while answering texts and forget time entirely. If it returns, you will pair it with a soft blanket, a quiet show, and the satisfying crunch of cookies that never go stale.

5. Drumstick Super Chocolate Cone

More chocolate, then even more after that. The Super Chocolate Cone understood the assignment: thick shell, deeper fudge core, and a waffle cone that snapped like a good punchline. Peanuts sealed the top like confetti at the end of a show.

You learned to time the bites so the fudge did not outrun the cone. It was messy joy with a napkin you never used. If it reappears, you will grab a box and share one reluctantly, pretending you are generous while guarding the last cone like treasure.

6. Baskin Robbins Chocolate Raspberry Truffle

Dark chocolate and tart raspberry made a duet you still hum. Truffle pieces landed like bold notes, soft then intense, disappearing just as you caught them. It was date night in a scoop, no reservations required, no dress code either.

You could savor it slow or chase the ribbon like a map. Every bowl felt a little fancy without trying too hard. Bring it back and you will light a candle, find two spoons, and pretend the couch is a corner booth no one else knows about.

7. Viennetta Ice Cream Cake

Slice through and listen. Viennetta cracked like thin ice, each chocolate layer whispering promises of drama. The rippled vanilla looked like a party trick you pulled off without breaking a sweat.

It made Tuesday feel like a holiday and plates clink like applause. You served small pieces and then immediately cut more. If it returns for good, you will clear space in the freezer and remember that dessert can wear a tuxedo while still laughing at all your jokes.

8. Good Humor Strawberry Shortcake Bar

Sunshine tasted like this. Strawberry would softly nudge vanilla, and the crumb coating scattered like happy confetti. You ate fast to chase the chilled center, then slowed down because the afternoon was going nowhere.

It was the friendliest bar the truck carried, easy to love and easier to finish. If it makes a full return, you will grab two, because the first disappears before a single story ends. Sometimes you just want pink crumbs on your shirt and zero regrets about it.

9. Ben & Jerry’s Dublin Mudslide

Irish cream and chocolate made every spoonful feel like a toast. The swirl moved like a river through soft hills of ice cream, and you kept chasing it to the bottom. It was grown up without being serious, dessert with a wink.

Friends would nod at the pint like a secret handshake. If it returns, you will stockpile and draft a celebratory playlist. Some flavors do not just taste good, they lift the room, and this one turned weeknights into small festivals with a spoon as your ticket.

10. Blue Bell Krazy Kookie Dough

Colorful dough chunks made every scoop feel like a birthday. The vanilla base let the confetti shine, and you aimed your spoon to excavate the biggest pieces first. It was innocent, loud, and exactly right on a gray day.

Families negotiated for the last bite like diplomats. Bring it back and you will rediscover the joy of unapologetic sweetness. Sometimes you need a bowl that refuses to whisper, happily chaotic, leaving sprinkles on the counter and a grin you cannot scrub away.

11. Breyer’s Snickers Ice Cream

If you ever froze a candy bar, this was the dream refined. Caramel threaded through creamy vanilla, catching peanuts and chocolate in a perfect mess. You tried to carve neat lines and ended up tunneling toward the richest pocket.

Every bowl tasted like a movie night gone perfectly. If it reappears, you will pile scoops over warm brownies and call it an emergency fix. Nostalgia is powerful, but this was more than memory, it was texture and timing doing a choreographed dance in your bowl.

12. Magnum Infinity Chocolate

Dark on dark, then darker. Infinity doubled down on cocoa with a shell that snapped like tempered glass and a velvety center that lingered. Each bite felt slow and important, like reading a favorite page twice.

You could share, but you rarely did. When this returns, you will treat it like a tiny evening ritual, door locked, phone face down, just you and the echo of chocolate. Some nights ask for fireworks, others ask for one perfect spark that does not burn out.

13. Klondike Choco Taco

Ice cream as a taco felt like the best kind of rule breaking. The waffle shell stayed crisp enough to crunch, while the fudge ripple curved through like a lazy river. Nuts on top brought salt and texture, a necessary little chaos.

Food trucks, festivals, late night convenience stores, it belonged everywhere. If it rides back into town, you will buy a stack and freeze a summer. There are few shapes that make people smile on sight, and this one wins every time with zero effort.
