From vanilla and chocolate to coffee and cookies and cream, ice cream is an American obsession. The average U.S. consumer eats about four gallons yearly, and ice cream companies keep churning out more of the beloved frosty dessert to keep up with the country's insatiable demand. According to the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA), ice cream production in the United States reached 1.3 billion gallons in 2023.
While classic flavors still reign supreme—vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry remain the most popular, according to the IDFA's most recent survey—ice cream brands continue to produce various enticing new flavors and combinations to attract more customers. Some even partner with soda makers and toy companies to create ever-more buzzworthy frozen treats.
This year, we've seen the debut of many strawberry and lemon combinations, a pint that tastes like a root beer float, and much more. Read on for the top ice cream flavors to hit the freezer aisle in 2024.
