I bought the Deep South hokey pokey recently when on special for(I think) $3.99 or $4.99, and it was very creamy and crammed with decent sized bits of hokey pokey - ar rarity these days, at least in my price range.

Just Tip Top or whatever on special, but love Goody Goody Gum drops, Fruit salad and Apricot flavoured ice cream

special treat from time to time, not an every wekk buy that's for sure. I also make my own ice-cream, which of course, is even superior to Kapiti.

Ellie - thanks for that info. I might try to find it at Christmas. Kohu Rd make a reasonable espresso ice-cream but it's expensive.

The original question sought people's opinions of icecreams available in supermarkets.The cost was not a factor.

Great idea, elliehen but I'm certain I've gained a kilo or two just typing that list so I will pass.

My fav is vanilla at home, out and about is passionfruit ripple and if no passionfruit 2nd choice is boysenberry.

Actually the original post doesn't say whether the cost is a factor or not - does that mean because cost isn't specifically mentioned that you are assuming it's not a factor!

Most flavours of Charlies - which is a great little icecream shop just out of Warkworth on the way to Matakana.I try and have a different one every time I allow myself the luxury of a visit.

Another vote for kohu road- ) That link is deeply disturbing ellihen. I loathed that practice with a passion.

Whoops. I loathe, not loathed. Using the iPad tonight and it's goofy to type on.

As other's have said "maple walnut movenpick" is pretty good.
But Rum and Raisin takes top spot for me - no particular brand in mind (good old Tip Top will do).

Invest in a small ice cream machine and make your own -we make custard-based ice cream with plenty of egg yolks in it all the time - mainly vanilla bean or chocolate ( using Dutch cocoa). 1/ We know it is pure without any funny stuff added, 2/ It's usually nicer, and 3/ It's one hell of alot cheaper. You get Premium ice cream for under $2a litre - or one fifth the cost of the bought stuff mentioned` above/And as I keep telling people, substitute 10-15% of the sugar with glucose - age the mix/ custardin the fridge overnight- before freezing - the results are fabulous.

Hi there. What amount of ice cream do you end up with! What is the brand of ice cream maker you use! thanks.

We make a litreat a time using a Krupps we've had for afew years - cost about $35 when we got it. You freeze the bowl firstand attachthe mixer to the top when making the ice cream - very easy to do.
Because of the overrun ( air pumped into it during making)- you need about 750 mls to 800 mls of custard mix - which expands to close to a litre.

I also have a Krups machine and I find it just great. I also make mine the old fashioned way and the double chocolate one I make is lovely, as is the vanilla, with plenty of vanilla bean in it.
awesomes chocolate with the fudge is a 10/10 in our house, Bought rarely as it lasts about 5 mins.I personally love boysenberry ripple and mint choc chip,

We haven't bought ice cream in a couple of years or have an ice cream maker but my fav is homemade (cream & cond milk) with either oreos or smashed up crunchies which I made for the first time recently and it was heaven.
Some of the bought ones sound really lovely though.
