This summer's best frozen treats don't require an ice cream maker. In fact, these five great ice cream flavors only require trip to the supermarket (or an overnight delivery). These are our tried-and-true editor favorites.

Haagen-Dazs Five Vanilla Bean
Vanilla doesn't seem so boring when it's this good. In our taste test, it was a close call between Haagen-Dazs Five Vanilla Bean and the brand's regular vanilla bean flavor until we noticed that Five had 70 less calories and 7 less grams of fat per serving.
Rarely does a healthier version of something taste as good as the more caloric version. A true gem!

Talenti Sicilian Pistachio
Many pistachio ice creams get their flavor from extracts or oils, but Talenti mills farm fresh nuts into dark pistachio butter and then works that into a rich gelato with the help of hormone-free milk and granulated pure cane sugar.
The green color? That comes from alfalfa sprouts. This stuff would be terrific in a BombeBastick. Or an ice cream sandwich.
Luna & Larry's Coconut Bliss Dark Chocolate
There are so many healthy buzz words associated with this one (low glycemic, gluten free, dairy free, soy free, vegan) that it's hard to imagine it could actually taste good, too.
But try it without reading the packaging and you'll be shocked at how well it mimics smooth, rich gelato. Thanks to coconut milk, organic chocolate and agave, you'll please the vegans and--we swear--everyone else with this dairy-free, Mounds-like choice.

Il Laboratorio del Gelato Hazelnut
You'll get past the sticker shock ($15 for 20 ounces?!) after the first bite.
It tastes like real Italian gelato: The texture is airlessly creamy, and the flavor tastes of rich roasted hazelnuts, with zero artificial ingredients.

Ben & Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch
For people who like a lot of stuff in their ice cream (us, sometimes), no one does it better than Ben & Jerry's. That's especially true in this flavor, a marriage of coffee ice cream and a criminally underrated candy: Heath Bar Crunch.
Put out the candy-filled classic at a sundae bar and watch how fast it disappears.
