The Most Amazing New Ice Cream Flavors

By Nicholas McMillan

I've always been a big fan of ice cream. For as long as I can remember, I've had a love for a nice cone of ice cream with a few sweet, dripping scoops. The toppings are just as enjoyable to me, and nothing beats a nice ice cream sundae or a banana split.

Besides the classics, there are also plenty of newer ice cream flavors that'd be pretty easy to miss if you weren't getting it as often as I do. While I love the classics and they'll never get old to me (chocolate is still my number one flavor when it comes down to it), there are some great newer flavors worth trying out.

I've had a number of different ice cream binges this year. It's been a stressful one, and ice cream definitely helps out with that. I've spent a lot of my time trying out new flavors because I've read good things about them. Here are a few that really stand out to me.

First of all, the brown sugar flavor at Haagen Dazs is probably the most realistic thing I've ever tasted when it comes to ice cream. It tastes great, but you must be a fan of brown sugar in order to appreciate this.

Another can't miss flavor is fleur de caramel, also from Haagen Dazs. The name is fancy, but I'll break it down into more simple terms. It's like a salty caramel. Imagine a pretzel dipped in caramel.

It's a great contrast when you blend the sugar and the salt together and it's very different from your usual ice cream. Highly recommended in my book.

Sticky toffee pudding is another flavor that I truly find to be amazing. If you're a toffee lover, this will hit the spot.

The last one I'll mention before you run out and get ice cream now is Oreo Outrageous. Baskin Robbins makes this flavor, and it's truly one of my new favorites. Much better than cookies and cream in my book.
