Anything that puts coffee & chocolate together, esp in gelato form. Love a good, inventive rainbow sherbet in summer, too.
Also getting a kick of the ice creams, truffles, etc that put chocolate with black raspberry these days. Back in the '50s me Da worked his way thru school in the freezers of the Sealtest Ice Cream company in Burlington VT. Sealtest was a great ice cream company and was more adventurous than other brands in those three-flavored days. They featured a Flavor-of-the-Month and would offer Peach, Banana Split, and some of the first flavors with chunkstuff. When a lot of the FotM went unsold, it would come back to the factory, be strained & then the base reprocessed into chocolate for resale.
However there were some flavors that couldnt be masked by strong chocolate flavor. When this happened, the run would be scooped into 5-gal cardboard containers and set aside in the freezers for disposal. Since they were essentially frozen garbage, it was not an offense to take some of these accidental double flavors home, so me Da - who was feeding four on a PT job (fried bologna or bean sammiches some days) - squirrelled the tubs of chocoberry to a private corner of the freezer and brought 5gal tubs of mistake ice cream home til it was gone. mmmmmmm, but weird.
