Hello zeloguuy, I like the soft serve alot more then the hand dipped. I even bought a soft serve Ice cream machine so I could have soft served ice cream at home. Everyone in my family loves it and they also prefer the soft serve over the hand dipped.

They have smaller ones for household use. I think they are great. They are a hit at parties(for young children) But I use mine alot especially in the summer months we have to keep the cones stocked up.

I would agree with that until I went to Europe and they had some freaky flavors and I guess you would call it hand-dipped but it was a completely different texture to the ice cream in the US... more of a soft serve texture.
But you are right, hand-dipped does have a lot more flavors.

Where can you find those in a soft-serve machine.

I like them both and they both definitely have their good qualities about them. Sometimes soft serve is nice because it's creamier than hand dipped. Hand dipped is nice though when you want that sort of 'homey' feel to your ice cream and are looking for something different.

I think that is the consensus is that soft serve gives that nice creamy milky feel to it whereas the hand-dipped gives so many more flavors... they need some soft-serve with chunks.
Which... is why I love McDonald's flurrys. They have bits of M&Ms in a soft serve ice cream. It is the only thing I will eat from a fast-food restaurant.

I definitely prefer hand dipped, and get it when I can! I especially love custard!

Both. Depends on where we are going. Dairy Queen I like soft-serve but there is one ice cream shop that actually makes all their ice cream from scratch and it's all hand-dipped so that's an extra special treat for me.

I prefer soft serve ice cream over hand dipped.but I will eat both. I like the creamy texture of the soft serve. I like the variety of flavor choices in the hand dipped though.

I looooove soft serve. whenever I have scooped ice cream, I let it sit and melt a little so it gets to the same consistency of soft serve, lol :]

I really like the soft serve it is so easy to eat. I do like hand dipped but I usually will eat that in a bowl and have the soft serve in a ice cream cone.

Both are good. My son went out for a corn dog and brought me home a mini-banana split it was very good. It had soft serve ice cream vanilla,chocolate syrup,a cherry,couple of strawberries and of course 1/2 banana sliced. Oh and whipped cream it was reallly good to be so small. If I were hungry 2 of them would have been nice.
