I just finished my second bowl of their home made vanilla (maybe made at melo's house?)

I rarely eat ice cream but damn, this stuff is good.

Do they make peppermint ice cream? I love Braum's peppermint ice cream and would love it if Blue Bell made some as well.


TIA

I think it was them that made "Chocolate Decadence".

I guess I quit buying BB when they quit making it.

Mmmmmmmm.....

The Cappuccino Chunky Chocolate frozen yogurt makes up a good shake for fat jihadists. And you can request they make it with Durka Durka Mohammed skim milk.

That sounds yummy. Mint chocolate chip sodas are also quite tasty. Dang. My resolve is wavering right now. Forgive my weakness, Allah.

I have a half gallon of Birthday cake in my freezer. If any of you ever want to come take the tour, I'll hook you up with a free tour and all you can eat ice cream.

Blue bell is all I will eat, with two exceptions. One is Haagen Daz (sp?) Bailey's ice cream, and the other is Ben and Jerry's Half baked. Haha... baked. Anyways. Blue bell is the s**t. Its the best thing about living in Brenham.

I had Bluebell and did the tour when I visited my Aunt and Uncle in Texas. I didn't think it was appreciably better than Blue Bunny.

As a cheesecake addict, I feel it important that you know that I will be stalking you until you give me the recipe. fyi.

Cheesecake Ice Cream
12 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
14 oz fat-free sweetened condensed milk
2 cups fat-free half and half (Land O'Lakes)
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp pure lemon extract
1/2 tsp pue almond extract

Place the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk in a bowl. On medium speed, mix together until smooth. If the cream cheese is not at room temperature, it will be lumpy. Slowly add the rest of the ingredients.
Refrigerate for 2 hours or longer. Resist tasting.
Freeze according the instructions on your ice cream freezer.
You may top with a fruit sauce, if desired.
This only makes 5 cups of ice cream, which is all my new ice cream maker will hold.

I've never understood this fascination with Blue Bell. Sure, it's good ice cream, but it's no Braum's.

I'm guessing it's a Texas thing.

There is nothing like going up to Blue Bell and getting ice cream fresh off the line... It hasnt had time to fully ice cream-ify, and its like a milk shake.

Plus, I think its cool that all of the ingredients in Blue Bell's ice cream is all from Brenham and the surrounding areas. Like... the Birthday Cake ice cream... they have this special part of the factory where they make the sprinkles, just so they can still say they get all of the ingredients from here.

I miss Braum's. Those pinheads won't build a store that is more than a day away from their dairy. Well here's some free business advice: BUILD ANOTHER **** DAIRY."

I love BB's old tagline, "we eat all we can and we sell the rest."

Blue Bell Wedding Cake ice cream... delicious AND will be as close as I ever get to a wedding.

Baja was right... Braum's Egg Nog ice cream... YES!

Compare Braum's ingredients against blue bell. bb uses lots of high fructose corn sweeteners, plus it is made in Texas.

Yea... but Blue Bell is free... and you cant beat that. Not even with a stick.

Try a peppermint shake with chocolate syrup in it.
Those peppermint shakes are dangerous. If the agitator misses one of the larger mint pieces, it will clog your straw right up.
