Edy’s produces ice cream with rich flavors, but it has an even richer history. William Dreyer and Joseph Eddy Co-founded the company back in 1928. They started small and focused on taste and flavor, which made them famous, and then they moved to expansion. Lovers of Rocky Road ice cream should thank these two geniuses as they were the ones who invented this delicious goodness. When the great depression hit, they wanted to bring a little bit of happiness into the dark world, and so, the Rocky Road was born. The company was later brought by Rogers and Crank, who further expanded the chains and named the western branches Deyer’s and the Eastern ones as Edy’s. See our Edy’s ice cream review below:
Edy’s turned towards developing ice creams with less fat content while maintaining the same rich flavor. The first step was achieved in 1987 with Edy’s Premium Light Ice Cream, 93% fat-free. Then in 2005, the Slow-Churned ice cream line was introduced that had half the normal amount of fat content and a third of the normal total calories. The taste was still divine, with thick, rich, and creamy textures, but non-fat milk was used.
The Edy’s ice cream review uncovers that Edy’s ice creams are still on this healthy route with three main collections; the Classics, the Rocky Road, and the Slow-Churned. With a 4.6 points rating on She speaks and 4.3 points on viewpoints, Edy’s has something for everybody.

Among the many flavors of the Rocky Road, the Brownie brick road ice cream is one of the most popular. The thick buttery and chocolaty brownies have perfectly been incorporated into the ice cream, giving it the perfect sweet flavor that isn’t overpowering. The ice cream is super creamy, and the chunks of brownies give it that extra wow factor that makes people come back for more. The calories count for this ice cream is slightly higher than the norm for Edy’s ice cream with 230 calories, but we are willing to forgo our diets with this delicious gooey treat in Edy’s ice cream review. The only problem people seem to have with this ice cream is that they want more brownie chunks in their ice cream, and I can’t say I blame them because who doesn’t want more brownies.
Other popular Rocky Road flavors are Chocolate Peanut Butter Park, Cookie Cobblestone, Mocha Almond Avenue, and the Original Rocky Road.
Among the Slow-Churned ice creams, the Caramel delight tastes the most divine. The thick creamy richness of the cream is balanced by the warmness of the caramel, with just the right amount of sweetness thrown into the mix. It is truly mouthwatering and always leaves you wanting a little more. Other popular Slow-Churned flavors are Chocolate, Coffee, Classic Vanilla, French Silk, and Cookie Doug
The Verdict
The ice cream we, at Tasty Ice Cream during during Edy’s ice cream review, liked the most and recommended you to try among Edy’s Classics is the Chocolate ice cream. You can never go wrong with chocolate ice cream, but this ice cream is the perfect example of all that can go right.
