Kroger’s ice cream aisle is getting a lot more interesting.
Shoppers have been sharing Private Selection hauls, comparing flavors with much pricier brands, and hunting down a couple of brand-new tubs that have only recently started appearing in freezers. One new flavor was reviewed on September 26, while another new variety was spotted right beside it.
Instead of loading this list with every flavor Kroger sells, we narrowed it down to the Private Selection ice creams generating the most interesting chatter right now, plus a few established favorites shoppers keep recommending.
Prices and availability vary by Kroger location.
1. Private Selection Peanut Butter Salted Fudge Cone Ice Cream Tub, 48 fl oz
This is the one to watch right now.
Private Selection’s Peanut Butter Salted Fudge Cone appears to be one of the newest additions to Kroger’s ice cream lineup. It combines peanut butter ice cream with salted fudge and chocolate-coated waffle cone pieces. Kroger currently lists the 48-ounce tub for $5.99 in the market we checked.
More importantly for this article, a shopper posted a full taste test on September 26, calling it a strong new addition and praising the amount of crunchy cone pieces.
This is exactly the type of product I would put at the top of a “buzzing now” Kroger list.
2. Private Selection Marbled Mint Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Tub, 48 fl oz
Another brand-new-looking addition is Marbled Mint Cookies and Cream.
The 48-ounce tub combines mint ice cream with chocolate sandwich cookies and crunchy cookie pieces. Kroger currently has an active listing for it, and the store result we checked showed it as low stock.
The same shopper who discovered the new Peanut Butter Salted Fudge Cone also spotted this one and described it as a second new large-format flavor.
If readers want something they probably haven’t noticed before, this belongs near the top.
3. Private Selection Cookies & Cream Ice Cream Pint, 16 oz
Don’t overlook this one because the flavor sounds basic.
Private Selection Cookies & Cream generated one of the clearest recent shopper reactions I found. On September 20, a shopper who said they’d spent a year trying more expensive Cookies & Cream brands said the $3.99 Kroger version ended their search. Other commenters quickly chimed in with their own praise for the flavor.
Kroger currently lists the 16-ounce pint for $3.99, with a rating around 4.45 stars from more than 120 reviews.
This is probably the best product on the list for supporting a “Kroger ice cream competing with pricier brands” angle.
4. Private Selection Amaretto Cherry Cordial Ice Cream Pint, 16 oz
This is one of the more unusual flavors in the freezer.
Amaretto Cherry Cordial combines creamy ice cream with cherries and chocolate chips. Kroger currently lists the pint at $3.99, with more than 200 customer reviews.
It has also been unusually visible in recent ice cream conversations. A September 7 post dedicated to the flavor drew more than 250 upvotes, and another Kroger haul on September 18 specifically praised its cherry flavor, chocolate pieces, and large cherries.
This is absolutely one I would keep.
5. Private Selection Maine Blueberry Waffle Cone Ice Cream Pint, 16 oz
This may be Private Selection’s sleeper cult favorite.
Maine Blueberry Waffle Cone mixes blueberry flavor with crunchy waffle cone pieces, giving it a combination you don’t see in every supermarket freezer. Kroger currently shows around 4.4 stars from more than 200 reviews.
It has also generated repeated Reddit praise this year. One discussion described it as blueberry pie filling swirled through creamy ice cream, while other shoppers named it among their favorite Private Selection flavors.
The flavor also ranked near the top of the September 26 Private Selection taste-test discussion.
6. Private Selection Pistachio Honey Ice Cream Pint, 16 oz
Pistachio has become one of the flavors shoppers specifically tell other Private Selection fans to try.
The actual Kroger offering is Private Selection Pistachio Honey Ice Cream Pint, made with roasted pistachios, honey swirls, and a hint of sea salt. Kroger currently shows roughly 4.5 stars from more than 270 reviews.
In a September 18 Kroger ice cream haul, another shopper immediately recommended Pistachio Honey and described Private Selection’s ice creams as surprisingly good quality.
It’s unusual enough to stand out without feeling gimmicky.
7. Private Selection Caramel & Praline Pecan Ice Cream Pint, 16 oz
This is another flavor getting renewed attention.
Caramel & Praline Pecan combines caramel ice cream, caramel swirls, and candied pecans. Kroger currently carries the 16-ounce pint with a rating around 4.5 stars from more than 140 reviews.
It also appeared in the September 26 Private Selection deep dive, where the heavy caramel swirl was one of the standout features. Other commenters in that same fresh discussion said the flavor caught their attention.
For shoppers who normally buy butter pecan, this is the more loaded-up version worth noticing.
8. Private Selection Sea Salt Caramel Truffle Ice Cream Pint, 16 oz
If there is one established Private Selection flavor that keeps resurfacing, it’s Sea Salt Caramel Truffle.
The pint combines caramel ice cream, sea salt caramel swirls, and caramel sea salt milk-chocolate truffles. Kroger currently shows an impressive 4.67-star rating from more than 170 reviews.
It also keeps appearing in shopper recommendations. In an August discussion asking which Private Selection flavor was worth trying after a disappointing experience with another variety, Sea Salt Caramel Truffle quickly came up as a favorite.
This isn’t the newest flavor here, but it has enough staying power to earn its spot.
The Chocolate Picks Are Getting Attention Too
Private Selection isn’t just getting noticed for unusual fruit and caramel combinations. A few of its heavier chocolate flavors continue to show up whenever shoppers start recommending favorites.
9. Private Selection Triple Brownie Ice Cream, 48 oz
Chocolate lovers may want to go directly for Triple Brownie.
The 48-ounce tub combines chocolate brownie ice cream with brownie pieces and brownie-fudge swirls. Kroger currently carries the large tub, while availability of the pint appears more limited.
And here’s the timely part: in the September 26 Private Selection conversation, one shopper jumped into the comments specifically to call Triple Brownie a “10/10.”
That’s enough fresh chatter to make it far more interesting for tomorrow’s article than a random older flavor.
10. Private Selection Denali Extreme Moose Tracks Ice Cream Pint, 16 oz
This is the pick for shoppers who believe chocolate ice cream needs more chocolate.
Denali Extreme Moose Tracks starts with chocolate ice cream and adds a fudge swirl along with fudge cups. Kroger currently lists the 16-ounce pint at $3.99.
It also received a fresh recommendation in the September 20 Cookies & Cream discussion, where another shopper singled out Extreme Moose Tracks as their chocolate favorite.
That gives us a recent social signal rather than relying only on old Kroger ratings.
11. Private Selection English Toffee Ice Cream Pint, 16 oz
English Toffee has been quietly gaining fans.
The actual pint combines caramel ice cream with caramel swirl and English toffee pieces. Kroger currently lists it for $3.99 with roughly 4.56 stars from more than 150 reviews.
A September Private Selection haul specifically called out the good-sized pieces of toffee and noticeable caramel swirl after trying the flavor for the first time.
It isn’t flashy, but that’s partly why it feels like a good “hidden freezer find.”
12. Private Selection Black Raspberry Fudge Chunk Ice Cream Pint, 16 oz
This final one earned its spot because shoppers are actually putting it up against other brands.
Black Raspberry Fudge Chunk combines raspberry-flavored ice cream with raspberry puree and fudge chunks. Kroger currently lists the pint with roughly 4.57 stars from around 145 reviews.
In a September 2 comparison with Blue Bell’s Black Raspberry Fudge, the reviewer said they would choose the Private Selection version because its raspberry flavor came through more strongly and the chocolate pieces worked better for them.
That’s precisely the kind of shopper comparison that makes this list more interesting than simply pulling highly rated products from Kroger.com.
Why Private Selection Ice Cream Is Worth Watching Right Now
The interesting story here isn’t simply that Kroger sells inexpensive ice cream.
It’s that new flavors are appearing while shoppers are simultaneously rediscovering the existing lineup.
Peanut Butter Salted Fudge Cone and Marbled Mint Cookies and Cream give shoppers something new to hunt down. Cookies & Cream is drawing comparisons with significantly more expensive pints. Amaretto Cherry Cordial has generated unusually strong recent chatter, while Maine Blueberry Waffle Cone, Pistachio Honey, and Sea Salt Caramel Truffle continue to show up in shopper recommendations.
That makes Private Selection one Kroger freezer section worth slowing down for right now.
One thing to remember: Private Selection assortment varies considerably by Kroger store and region, so you may not find every flavor on the same freezer shelf.
