Celebrate Vermont Summer With the Iconic Maple Creemee Ice Cream Treat | Eater

"This North Ferrisburgh cookie bakery operates a seasonal creemee window (May–October) where vanilla and chocolate are on tap but the coffee-maple twist is the runaway bestseller; creemees can be finished with cookie-crumb topping made from the on-site bakery. Owner Matt Bonoma captures the social role of creemees in the state: "Vermont is such a rural place and everything is spread out and there’s not as many bustling centers of commerce," he says. Bonoma, who sources mix from the nearby creamery, also explains how machine tuning shapes the final product: "You want it soft and almost ready to melt. But too soft and it doesn’t stay on the cone, and you can’t get toppings on it." - Tanner Bowden
