Chocolate ice cream

I hate chocolate ice cream but it always seems to be the main option in restaurants. My DH thinks I'm the only one who doesn't like it. Btw this is just a little bit of fun before you all come at me.

Not sure I’ve ever seen it in a menu

dogFlatOut · 17/07/2026 20:01

Hate it !

strawberry all the way

I'm a real chocolate lover but hate chocolate ice cream. Horrible stuff

SourSoppy · 17/07/2026 20:04

I love chocolate, but hate chocolate ice cream and chocolate cake.

Just give me the pure stuff!

Thewalrusandthecarpenter · 17/07/2026 20:05

I loathe it. I’ve never eaten any that actually tastes of chocolate. It’s a sweet, synthetic taste.

EdinaTheConfessor · 17/07/2026 20:06

Yeah not my fave. In fact I’d never order ice cream in a restaurant anyway. Give me nice crème brûlée or a panna cotta.

RoseOliviaAu · 17/07/2026 20:07

It depends.

What I call cocoa ice cream is vile. Powder suspended in vanilla ice cream. Rubbish.

Proper bitter dark chocolate ice cream made with eggs and absolutely creamy and layered with chocolate flavour? Divine.

Arlanymor · 17/07/2026 20:07

It's never real chocolate is it? It must be made with powdered stuff and its tastes synthetic. That said I am not a fan of chocolate in general - so maybe I should absent myself from the conversation altogether!

KrazyKatty · 17/07/2026 20:07

I like it if it’s decent quality ice cream like the stuff sold in Lidl or local small businesses.

Definitely not if it’s made by Walls.

mynameiscalypso · 17/07/2026 20:07

I’ve had an amazing dark chocolate sorbet before but, in general, it’s not my favourite

huuskymam · 17/07/2026 20:10

I'm with you, i hate any type of chocolate dessert, cake, mousse, ice cream etc. I only like chocolate in a bar form.

ToadRage · 17/07/2026 20:11

I like chocolate but it's not my favourite would much rather have a strawberry, toffee or good old vanilla.

Combo of choc, strawberry and vanilla 😋 divine in a wafer

Me too! Chocolate cake is always dry. Chocolate ice-cream doesn't taste of chocolate. I don't like Bourbon biscuits either, they're the same, they don't taste like chocolate.

EverMissWicklowSometimes · 17/07/2026 20:12

I love it, it's my second favourite ice cream after mint choc chip.

CookieDoughJoe · 17/07/2026 20:15

I can’t bear it.

Mrstawnyowl · 17/07/2026 20:17

I don’t go for chocolate at a gelateria, I pick vanilla, raspberry ripple, pistachio and maybe mint. My husband will only choose vanilla. I love chocolate as much as the next person but I’m not keen on Nutella, chocolate fondant puddings or other heavy chocolate desserts.

Used to buy this in a tub in the 50s - Neapolitan ice cream. Delicious! Proper chocolate/vanilla/strawberry flavours, yum!

LaurieFairyCake · 17/07/2026 20:20

Yuk no. No to chocolate cake or chocolate ice cream - worst options

LOVE chocolate itself, eat it every day.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 17/07/2026 20:21

I love it. Can't beat a nice simple pudding of one scoop of vanilla, one scoop of strawberry and one scoop of chocolate. Wafer optional. Has to be good ice cream, though.

bridgetreilly · 17/07/2026 20:23

I don’t think I’ve ever been in a restaurant where chocolate is the only flavour of ice cream available.

WorkCleanRepeat · 17/07/2026 20:28

I hate chocolate ice-cream too. In fact I dont like chocolate flavoured things at all.

I love chocolate though 🤣

AnneLovesGilbert · 17/07/2026 20:29

I love it. I make this fantastic one from BBC good food which is very easy if you like the idea of chocolate ice cream but don’t think bought stuff is chocolatey enough.

Forget the faff of ice cream makers and custard – this fudgy chocolate ice cream not only tastes divine, it's easy to make at home too

I hate it too

MeDadMeDad · 17/07/2026 20:46

I'm with you chocolate ice cream is not for me.
My Sister and Daughter always go for the chocolate ice cream over others.
