The Tiny Shop In Vermont That Serves Homemade Ice Cream To Die For

I scream, you scream, we all scream for Island Ice Cream! Nothing says summer quite like a cold cone on a hot day, and the delicious scoops from Island Ice Cream are the icing on the cake... or, rather, the cone. You won't find a big factory with imitation flavored ingredients here, folks. The basic ingredient for these recipes is 100% Vermont cow milk and it's handmade by people who truly care about creating a quality product. Have you tried this VT homemade ice cream?

Island Ice Cream makes ice cream, sorbet, and gelato by hand in small batches and packages them for retail, restaurants, and scoop shops.

It's all made on the beautiful island of South Hero in northern Vermont.

There are over 50 flavors to choose from. While they are famous for their Vermont Maple Walnut, other popular favorites include French Vanilla Bean, Chocolate Supreme, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Island Coconut, Sea Salt Caramel, Mint Chocolate Chip, Coffee Chip, and Pink Grapefruit.

And they're all fantastic.

Even the caramel used in the Sea Salt Caramel ice cream is handmade right in their kitchen.

And boy is it good!

Have you ever tried Maple Bacon ice cream? If not, then you absolutely need to!

On hot days you can find scoops at these places as well as various fairs and festivals.

Everything is made by hand using local ingredients whenever possible.

And you sure can taste the love!

It's no surprise that Seven Days voted Island Ice Cream the People’s Choice Award for "Best Housemade Ice Cream" in 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016.

Is it Ice cream or I Scream?
