That’s the Spirit
In New York you can find Tipsy Scoop being a single “compact creamery scooping ice cream flavors infused with bourbon, vodka, rum, sangria or tequila.” In Washington, you have to scour a Metropolitan Market ice cream aisle and hope other people hadn’t cleared the shelves before you got there.
Sundaes on Sunday
To my great surprise, I think I don’t really care for plain chocolate as a flavor anymore; I need something chunky in the mix to make it a little more interesting.
Upstate Custard
It felt incredibly dreamy to just be able to walk outside without even wearing shoes; after six months of apartment living, I’m hot for lawns.
I’m also hot for frozen custard, and for whatever reason, upstate New York has it in abundance.
Summer Berries: Mulch Edition
These Berry ice creams are just summer in a bowl - 5 spoons and a fully mulched yard.
Cornucopia
The flavors looked incredible — I wanted to try them all. Unfortunately (and extremely reasonably!) they are not letting people sample flavors right now, so I had to roll the dice with what I got.
No-fly Cone
I prefer a sugar cone with hard ice cream, a cake cone with soft serve, and if it’s cold out and I’m feeling decadent, a fresh waffle cone with the inside coated with hot fudge.
The Cutest Scoop
I could have spent an hour admiring it, but of course if I did that it would melt into a gross sludgy puddle so instead I got to eatin.
The Yeti
Let’s talk about the ice cream that shall not be named. The ice cream still in my deep freezer. Yeah, I tried it again for the sake of this blog. It’s still not great.
Too Much Krisp Not Enough Pop
It’s a really beautiful scoop of ice cream — I love ice cream with a crunch and texture, and Ample Hills definitely delivered in that regard; but unfortunately, the flavors didn’t meld well and as a whole, it was a disappointing scoop.
We want pops!
On a 92 degree day a friend texted, “Let’s be gross outside together!” I happily agreed.
Salt & Straw’s Cookie Dough Ice Cream is Social Distancing
The chocolate was dark and strong in the Salted, Malted, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream. The cookie dough seemed oddly absent
Sweaty Sorbet
I went with the mango passion fruit in a sugar cone; I liked how the vibrant yellow color popped in the darkened shop.
Cereal-sly Delicious
I was so excited in fact, that I marched out of the storage room with pints in hand to have the husband try them too. That moment of happiness alone, just enjoying a few bites of ice cream was a little vacation in the day, it was too good not to share.
