The Best Fruit-Flavored Ice Creams

Fruit and ice cream have gone together almost since the invention of the sweet, creamy dessert. There’s something about cold, sugary, luscious ice cream that suits fruit so well. The addition of sweet, though sometimes tart, fruit kicks ice cream up a notch. Fruit is a favorite topping for ice cream, whether it’s berries, citrus, or the most exotic of fruits available, and ice cream is known to be a good topping for fruit in the form of a scoop of vanilla accompanying cobblers, pies, and crisps.

These days, there is a plethora of options available when it comes to fruit-flavored ice cream, too. You don’t have to top your ice cream with fruit to get the flavors of nature's candy with the flavors of ice cream—many ice cream flavors have the pairing already built-in.

But what ice cream and fruit combos make the best flavors? Read on to find out some of the most popular—and some of the most unique—fruit-flavored ice cream out there.

Strawberry

There’s no denying that this classic fruity ice cream flavor is a hit! Fresh strawberries mixed into vanilla ice cream make for a sweet treat with a slight twist as chunks of decadent strawberry are sprinkled throughout the flavor. It’s a tried and true favorite for a reason!

Peach

You might be a fan of a scoop of vanilla ice cream accompanying your peach cobbler, but did you know that you can take it a step further and actually make your ice cream with chunks of ripe, juicy peach throughout? This is a more unique fruit-flavored ice cream, but still a winning combination.

Raspberry

The often-tart flavor of raspberries pairs especially well with ice cream! The strong raspberry flavor is complemented by creamy, sugary ice cream and makes for a delectable scoop.

Blueberry

Blueberries may not be your first choice when it comes to ice cream flavors, but don’t count out the small, sweet berry! Berries pair especially well with ice cream that incorporates other flavors—like cheesecake or other berries.

Mango

Mango has long been a favorite for its tropical and unique flavor. It works well when paired with ice cream because the ice cream complements the mango’s flavor rather than overpowering it.

Cherry 

Cherry pie is another one of those desserts that simply tastes better with a scoop of ice cream, so it’s no wonder that cherry ice cream is a winning combination! Tart cherries work particularly well when paired with ice cream as the sour flavor is tamed down by the sweet, creamy ice cream.

Kiwi

One of the more unique fruit flavors out there, kiwi pairs surprisingly well with ice cream. The sometimes sour, sometimes mellow flavor of kiwi works well with the creamy, sugary goodness of ice cream. It’s a combo you won’t want to miss!
