Few treats are more popular on a warm day than ice cream. With its rich flavor and cooling nature, ice cream is perfect in a cone, cup, cake, or even as a sidekick to a brownie or piece of pie. Summer may be the season when ice cream is enjoyed the most – and many people have fond memories of chasing down the neighborhood ice cream truck on summer afternoons – but ice cream is a favorite all year long.

The number of ice cream flavors is only limited by the imaginations of ice cream shop owners. New small-batch offerings come out each week at privately owned shops. However, despite the infinite number of flavor combinations, certain ice cream flavors are more popular than others. According to the International Dairy Foods Association Ice Cream & Frozen Novelty Trends Survey, these flavors are tops in the eyes of Americans.

3. Vanilla

4. Strawberry

5. Chocolate Chip

6. Cookie Dough

7. Butter Pecan

8. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
