And creamy rich ice cream or scoop of blissful gelato is one of those pleasures, indeed. Honestly, unless you have dropped that cone (bloop, splat! *tears*), when have you ever gone for ice cream and left unhappy? Cream, fruits, swirls of caramel, bits of chocolate chips, a nut here and there-nothing can beat it. Take a few moments this summer to enjoy those simple things, like a cone with a friend or even by yourself. Here’s a list to point the way…

Enjoy these 75+ Spots for Ice Cream, Gelato and Frozen Desserts in CT.

Milkcraft® is about as luxurious a feeling as you can have eating ice cream. Milkcraft says the use of liquid nitrogen creates smaller ice crystals and results in the smoothest possible ice cream. The Hong Kong waffle bubble cone is like a hybrid of the best waffle and pancake you’ve ever had. Add in some red velvet ice cream with red velvet cake pieces and marshmallow fluff topping and it can be hard to go back to two scoops of vanilla on a sugar cone. Get ready to experience some unusual and fun flavors such as Strawberry Balsamic, Blue Butter Cookie, Vietnamese Coffee, and Milk and Cereal. Don’t miss the Creamee Buns, either-it’s a baked, glazed donut stuffed with their ice cream and hot sealed.
