**This contest is now closed! Thanks for entering…**
Are you hot? Dude. I’m hot. And I’m talking the sweaty-variety, sadly, not the smokin’-hot-bod-variety.
I’ve hit my peak of summer sweat flow which means, clearly, the only solution is for me to start consuming large quantities of ice cream since summer isn’t even close to abating yet.
Since I don’t want to be alone in my caloric bliss (I currently own a Cuisinart ice Cream maker and l.o.v.e. it), I’m giving away two Cuisinart Ice Cream Makers and two copies of David Lebovitz’s widely heralded Ice Cream Bible, if you will: The Perfect Scoop.
Here’s how it works. I’m giving away one Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker and one copy of The Perfect Scoop to a randomly chosen fan on my Facebook page. Another set of goods will be given away to a randomly chosen comment on this post.
To enter (and yes, you can be eligible in both places):
1) leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite ice cream flavor (and don’t worry, I’ll still love you if you say it is vanilla). Duplicate comments will be deleted so only leave a comment once on this post, pretty please (it may take a few minutes to show up so don’t panic if you don’t see it immediately).
2) become a fan on Facebook. If you are already a fan, you are automatically entered – sweet! No need to leave a comment/post on Facebook, just become a fan. Easy-peasy.
The contest will close shortly, as in, I will announce the winners tomorrow morning, August 19th. So enter or become a fan quickly!
(This giveaway is not sponsored by Cuisinart or David Lebovitz. I just wanted to share the love for all things ice cream and hope that by doing so good karma will come my way and provide me with the ability to stay sweat-free in 90% humidity. Peace out.)
I am a FAN on facebook and pretty much any were you post a recipe!
My all-time favorite ice cream has to be raspberry!
Chocolate peanut butter!
Delish!
I love rocky road and burnt almond fudge and butter pecan. It’s hard to pick just one…oh and heavenly hash!
Mel, Thanks so much for your great recipes. I have seriously menu planned from your website the last 2 months, it has made it so much easier getting throught the process, just sitting at my computer going through your recipes, I have had much success, my family loves the food. Thanks, Kim
pralines and cream. MMMMM!
I love to switch it up everytime i go for ice cream, but my absolute favorite is toasted coconut~
My favorite is Chocolate, thou my other half loves Vanilla!
mint cookies and creme…all the way.
Mint chocolate chip!
Mint Chocolate Chip is my favorite. I actually bought an ice cream maker last year and it didn’t work. Having a working one would be amazing.
Cherry Garcia–or anything with lots of nuts and chunks of good things.
WOW! Great giveaway! And we all come crawling out of the woodwork for giveaways, don’t we???
I love coffee ice cream which is funny since I don’t like coffee. Add toffee bits or pb cups to it and it is heavenly! Thanks, Mel!
Peach is my favorite. Sweet and refreshing.
My favorite ice cream is coffee.
I’ve seen a few recipes from the book posted in other blogs and I just love them! My favorite is still Prailines and Cream.
Hmm… Probably some really good french vanilla with caramel ribbons through it.
Homemade icecream is the best….I am a chocolate lover….but am becoming a strawberry fan especially with fresh strawberries thrown in.
My favorite has always been chocolate chip cookie dough! A classic, but can’t get enough of it!
black raspberry chip!
Such a hard question! I think at the moment I would say pralines and cream. Mmmmm!
I love Cherry Chocolate Chip. I made a cake of the flavor last week, and although it was good, it just didn’t hit the spot like a nice, cold scoop of ice cream.
My fave ice cream flavor is choco malt crunch from Thrifty Ice Cream.
i like you on fb!
Mint chocolate chip
Chocolate ice cream
Chocolate hazelnut, although I wish my husband wouldn’t make it quite so often!
My new favorite ice cream is coconut gelato! It is oh so good!
I love any variety of chocolate ice cream!
I love Baskin Robbins Rocky Road , but my fondest memories are of the late 1960′s and the Butter Brickle ice cream that my late grandmother dished up for the grandkids in Winthrop , Minnesota.
Waving from Houston .
My favorite flavor would be salted caramel pretzel ice cream (vegan) or vanilla! I could really use an ice cream maker because we just moved to suburbs of Phoenix!! It’s slightly toasty! Thanks for the great giveaway opportunity!
I’ve wanted to try to make ice cream since the beginning of summer! Thanks for the opportunity..my face ice cream is chocolate peanut butter! Yummmmm.
Butter Pecan is my favorite ice cream flavor!
Right now my favorite is peanut butter ice cream. Yum!!
Ice cream is one of my favorite desserts!!! I love peanut butter cup, mint chocolate cookie, and fudge brownie! Yum!!!
Chocolate (Haagen Daz specifically)!! My husand and I have wanted one of these for sooo long! AWESOME GIVEAWAY!
Yum! I would have to say cookies and cream. But nit just any cookie. It must be an Oreo double stuff. I go for the full fat:)
I love any kind of chocolate ice cream!
I LOVE orange sherbet. And when you add a scoop of vanilla to it?! It’s dreamsicle in a bowl!
Seroogy’s Mint Meltaway from Zestys in Green Bay , of course! Technically it’s frozen custard, but close enough!
I’m boring. My favorite flavor is chocolate. With chocolate jimmies (or sprinkles for you non-northerners). Yum.
mint choc chip.
You said you weren’t going to hate me, but my favourite is Vanilla! The best part about Vanilla is when you are in the mood for alittle more variety, you can add all different things to it (chocolate syrup, strawberry syrup, strawberry jam, fresh fruit, peanut butter, etc). My all time favourite is keeping it simple!
Peppermint, oh it is so yummy! Oh no wait, I LOVE Ube ice cream, but sadly I have only had it at Blue Seal while living in Okinawa. Yet another great place we need to have in the states!
Aggie Blue Mint, its from Utah State University! We only live there during the fall and winter so I really miss it during the summer. So during the summer I would have to say my favorite ice cream would have to be blueberry cheesecake!
My favorite flavor is Mint Chip! I love it!
I love good ol’ vanilla. But a close second is a recipe we’ve had in the family for quite a few years: Brickle Flickle. It’s basically vanilla with chopped Butterfinger candy bars – yum, yum!!
I really love homemade ice cream and just about every flavor but a couple years ago I lemon and it was so good. Hope I win.
Blue Bell’s Rocky Road is my all-time favorite!! It’s incredible! Thank you
Rocky Road
I like Moose Tracks!
Cookies and cream!
This giveaway is great! I’ve been wanting an ice cream maker for quite some time now. I have a lot of “favorite” flavors, but if I had to pick just one, I’d fall back on a classic favorite from my childhood, cookies & cream.
My favorite ice cream flavor is just good old fashioned chocolate. Chocolate never disappoints!;-)
I looooove pralines and cream! I’m also in love with Blue Bunny’s Peanut Butter Panic (smothered in Magic Shell)
Hi Mel! I’ve recently become a huge fan of your blog and have gotten some of my friends hooked as well! Love your recipes, and am loving this giveaway…I’ve always wanted to try my hand at ice-cream.
Since it would be boring to say Vanilla Bean is my favorite, I’ll go with Cookies and Cream, closely followed by Mint Chocolate Chip. Um, still pretty boring, I guess. But I’ll eat chocolate ice cream if it’s got yummies in it like caramel or nuts.
My favorite flavor will always be chocolate. I recently found a kind of Tillamook ice cream that is THE BEST chocolate ice cream ever!
I love chocolate brownie ice cream!! Yum! Never made homemade icecream, looks like a fun thing to do!!
Favorite flavor ever is Lemon Custard from USU’s Aggie Ice Cream.
Mmmmmmm yummy!!!! My husband and I had ice cream twice yesterday!! It’s so stinkin hot! I LOVE moose tracks, all the fudge and the peanut cups mmmmmm makes me want some now!
Ooops..forgot to say my favorite ice-cream! Any variety of chocolate and peanut butter….
Well, it’s not vanilla. I love anything with Heath bars in it. I’m a Heath bar freak
There’s an old-time ice cream shop in my hometown that makes home made caramel cashew ice cream… by far the best ever! The ice cream itself is carmel, plus a caramel swirl! I’ll have some now please, I’m tired of sweating as well!
Chocolate brownie with caramel and pecan peices!
I’m a new follower of your blog and I must that I love your recipes and your witty sarcasm (perfect combination). One of our favorite flavors is chocolate coconut which is very hard to find in stores. Blue Bell recently sold this flavor but it is not longer in our local store. It would be fabulous to not worry about availability because we could make our own. Even if I don’t get this, I’ll still stalk your blog like I have been! Thanks for all your hard work!
my favorite ice cream flavor is salty caramel
I love ice cream!
My favorites (yes, plural) include Rocky Road, Cherry Vanilla, Lemon Custard and Aggie Blue Mint (Go USU!).
I have wanted one of those ice cream makers for a long time! My favorite ice cream is rocky road, yum!
My favorite is banana foster ice cream. Yummy.
I love moosetracks. Something about the fudge…
I know I am totally weird, but I love frozen banana’s all whipped up in the food processor with a few chunks of faux cookie dough in it! YUM!
My favorite is rocky road or jamocha almond fudge!
My favorite type of ice cream is chocolate!
Definitely cookies and cream!
Who can choose? After reading all the comments, I remember a lot of flavors i love.
Moose Tracks!
A local fast food joint makes their own to-die-for ice cream. Until recently they had Kentucky Pecan Fudge Pie. *be still my heart* My new life goal is to recreate this heavenly treat at home.
Mango!
My favorite flavor is Vanilla! Followed Closely by anything with Berries. Or Chocolate. Is there a bad flavor of Ice Cream?
I really like strawberry or mint chocolate chip
Chocolate chip cookie dough!
I am now a follower on FB. I love your website, I check it all the time.
My favorite flavor has and always will be plain old Chocolate! It is the only kind I never get tired of! Yum!
definitely moose tracks!!
My favourite ice cream flavour is black cherry. However, the best ice cream experience I EVER had was when I had gelato in Isreal and it’s flavour was ferrero rocher, so good!
I have always been a vanilla lover (lame I know) but I have recently expanded my horizons to butter pecan mmm!
Vanilla Bean.
Pralines and cream baby! I have been dying for my own ice cream maker so I can make my one year old baby dairy free ice cream. He is allergic to everything.
Cookies ‘n Cream forever!!!
Any flavor any time, but I love peppermint ice cream!
Cookies and Cream is my go-to flavor. But I also love Chocolate Chip. Something about frozen chocolate that I love!
Ben & Jerry’s Phish Food…has all the good stuff; chocolate ice cream, caramel, marshmellow and fudgey fish
Strawberry! Yummy!
MANGO ice cream! But not just any old mango ice cream…the creamy, lightly spiced, kind we usd to buy from the Indian Cash-n-Carry in California. I think it had a hint of cardamom or something – SO GOOD!
Any thing with chocolate and raspberry wins me over. I also love Blue bell’s smickerdoodle ice cream!!
Mmm… Raspberry peach!! Or just vanilla!!
Mint chocolate chip has always been my favorite ice cream!
My favorite ice cream flavor is butterfinger!!! Blue Bell makes one that is delicious!!!
Always moose tracks. Always.
