So I chose five with lasting market value and ones you’ll undoubtedly find in any grocery store. While I was excited to kick off the taste test, I was admittedly overwhelmed - there are dozens of mainstream ice cream brands that tout a classic vanilla. Not only does the creamy, cold confection pair with practically any dessert you can think of (especially pies!), its simplicity is a testament to how only a few high-quality ingredients can yield something scrumptious.

This list obviously isn’t all-encompassing, but it also wasn’t meant to be.
