Southern Blackberry Cobbler Ice Cream

Published on Wednesday, September 19, 2007, by Sarah Perry / Edit Post

Blue Bell Creameries sells ice cream throughout the southern United States, and many enthusiastic Chowhounds love its imaginative flavors. The newest flavor, Southern Blackberry Cobbler, is fantastic. It’s full of blackberries, but it also has chunks of crust. Check out the Key Lime Pie flavor too—it’s excellent, assuming you’re a fan of Key lime pie.

In some locations, one of the only options for buying Blue Bell ice cream is Wal-Mart. It’s worth it, says rtmonty. “Believe me, if yours has Southern Blackberry Cobbler you better go get some. Put a mask on or something if you don’t want to be seen in there.”

    Blue Bell charges a whopping $119 for four half-gallons of their many available flavors. Most of that cost obviously covers the dry-ice rush shipping. But these are authentic half gallons (a full pint more, not the 3/4 downsized cartons favored by its competitors!).

    BlueBell.com lists these flavors:

    *Year Round Ice Cream Flavors*
    Banana Split, Buttered Pecan, Century Sundae, Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Cookies 'n Cream, Dutch Chocolate, French Vanilla, Homemade Vanilla, Milk Chocolate, Mint Chocolate Chip, Moo-llennium Crunch, Natural Vanilla Bean, Orange Swirl, Pecan Pralines 'n Cream, Rocky Road, Strawberries & Homemade Vanilla, Strawberry, The Great Divide, and Ultimate Neapolitan.

    The FedEx method beats not having Blue Bell. They've rocketed their ice cream to the International Space Station, and President Geroge W. has had it sent to Camp David!-COLLAPSE
