Pumpkin ice cream might have seemed like a novel idea a few years ago, but it's everywhere this year — and we couldn't be happier about it. Not only are ice cream shops like Dairy Queen and Cold Stone Creamery getting in on the seasonal flavor with limited-edition menu items, but store-bought favorites like Ben & Jerry's and Edy's are, too. Each brand has put its own twist on the pumpkin spice craze, and you're going to want to try each of these seasonal ice creams before they retire for the Winter. Check out eight pumpkin-flavored ice creams that will make you look forward to taking a break from the pumpkin spice latte ahead.

Ben & Jerry's Pumpkin Cheesecake
Ben & Jerry's Pumpkin Cheesecake ice cream is one of the best pumpkin desserts you can buy in stores, and thankfully it's back this year. It's not your average pumpkin spice product: it's cheesecake ice cream made with real pumpkin and has a graham cracker swirl.

Dairy Queen Pumpkin Pie Blizzard
Dairy Queen has gotten into the Fall spirit again this year with the return of its Pumpkin Pie Blizzard. The decadent frozen treat blends pumpkin pie pieces into classic vanilla soft serve and is finished off with a whipped topping and dash of nutmeg.

Edy's Pumpkin Spice Latte
The next time you're browsing the ice cream aisle, pick up the new limited-edition Edy's Pumpkin Spice Latte. It's like eating a frozen PSL with a spoon, and it combines swirls of coffee ice cream with pumpkin ice cream.

Cold Stone Creamery Pumpkin Cheesecake
Among the Cold Stone Fall ice cream flavors returning this year is the most decadent one of all: Pumpkin Cheesecake, which has pumpkin cheesecake ice cream with Heath bar pieces, caramel, and whipped topping. It's available Sept. 13 through Nov. 23, so get a scoop (or three or 10) while you can.

Jeni's Pumpkin 5-Spice
Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream doesn't make your average (or artificial) pumpkin spice product. The beloved brand, which makes some of the best ice cream pints you'll ever find in stores, has a Pumpkin 5-Spice ice cream, which is a blend of rich, roasted pumpkin and sweet grass-grazed Snowville cream laced with ginger, cloves, light brown sugar, Saigon cinnamon, and Chinese five-spice powder. "It's an ice cream that's lighter than you might expect and it finishes with a pleasant tingle courtesy of that wonderfully punchy Chinese five-spice," the description reads.

Tillamook Pumpkin Cookie Butter Ice Cream
Two of the best things in life have joined forces for Tillamook's Pumpkin Cookie Butter ice cream. If you've already experienced the beauty of pumpkin cookie butter on its own, you won't be able to handle how delicious it is when mixed into creamy pumpkin ice cream.

Halo Top Pumpkin Pie
Halo Top released tons of new flavors this year, including the amazing Pumpkin Pie. Fans of the lightened-up ice cream will lose their sh*t over how dreamy this is; it tastes like you blended slices of pumpkin pie into a pumpkin milkshake. Get it while you can in stores through the end of November.
