We visited MDB four times during our recent trip to the Milford area. I considered stopping in again today before heading home, but five days in a row seemed a bit overindulgent...
It's not a fancy place at all - just a walk-up window and a few outdoor picnic tables around the side - but the ice cream is fantastic, and the flavors varied and interesting.
MDB's ice cream is rich and creamy without being *too rich*. Their portions are true to size (a small cup was one small scoop, the medium was two small scoops) and priced appropriately. The kids working the window are friendly, and will happily explain what goes into Fancy Pants or Fuzzy Bear.
My favorite by far was the Banana Oreo (banana flavored ice cream studded with chunks of Oreo cookies). The ice cream softened up the cookies just enough to give them a fudgy texture, and the ice cream itself tasted like real bananas and not some nasty banana-flavored chemical additive. I enjoyed this one so much that I got it again on Day Three.
Their chocolate ice cream is wonderful as well - deeply chocolate, not too sweet but not too dark. I tried three different variations: Dark Chocolate Peanut (with crunchy chocolate covered peanuts); Chocolate Raspberry (with tiny chocolate-covered raspberry candies and a raspberry swirl); and in milkshake form, the Chocolate Banana. Each of these were fantastic.
I also tried the Salty Caramel Cups (caramel flavored ice cream with little chocolate-covered caramel candies mixed in). The ice cream itself was very tasty, but the chocolate coating on the candies was a bit waxy and distracting. Not the best of the bunch, but still enjoyed.
Tasty, quality homemade ice cream. Glad there are still places like this around.
